Jing (a role type)

Jing is a role type often found in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts, representing a specific energetic or strategic function. It denotes a focused, resilient type of energy or intent that is precise, controlled, and stable. Jing embodies qualities like endurance, durability, and foundational strength, much like the body’s genetic essence. In a broader context, it refers to the core vitality and long-term resilience of a person or system, emphasizing quality over quantity and emphasizing persistence, rootedness, and foundational stability.
