Qigong between the various "anti" discourses. From communist anticlericalism to Falungong fundamentalism
Qigong masters, as healers, mystical teachers and symbolic providers, have become a kind of secular clergy in post-Mao China. Following the emergence of these charismatic figures and their tens of millions of adepts, an anticlerical discourse appeared, which was used by the masters themselves as well as by their opponents. Qigong and its offshoot, Falungong, offer a prism for analysing the mutations of anticlericalism in contemporary China. Successively brought into the service of state construction, of a return to the sources of tradition, of anti-superstition polemics, of a religious fundamentalism and of an anti-heretical political campaign, anticlericalism reveals the lines of tension which have shaped the constellation of Chinese body and breathing arts networks.
