Zhang Baosheng () (born 1958) was one of the most famous ''qigong'' Grandmasters during the period of ''qigong''s immense popularity in the People's Republic of China.〔Palmer, David. (2007) "Qigong Fever", Cambridge University Press〕 Along with Yan Xin,〔Ownby, David. (2008) "Falun Gong and the Future of China", Oxford University Press〕 he played a key role in bringing the body technologies of ''qigong'' practice, and the supernatural abilities that can be putatively developed through it, into the Chinese public consciousness. A miner from Benxi, Liaoning, Zhang was 'discovered' as being able to read with his nose, able to see through people's bodies, and to be able to place objects in closed containers without touching them.〔Palmer (2007), p. 52〕 Drawing on Chinese media reports, Palmer writes that Zhang was called on by the local police to solve criminal cases, and one hospital even hired him as a living X-ray machine.〔Palmer (2007), p. 52〕 Some high-ranking Communist Party leaders in Beijing grew curious at reports of Zhang's alleged powers, and Zhang was one of the "Healers with Extraordinary Powers" invited into the Zhongnanhai leadership compound to treat the daughter-in-law of General Chen Geng.〔Palmer (2007), p. 53〕 On 18 May 1982, Zhu Runlong, editor-in-chief of ''Ziran'' magazine, introduced Zhang to Marshal Ye Jianying, who had masterminded the overthrow of the Gang of Four after the death of Mao. Zhang is reported to have correctly 'smelled' the contents of messages written by Ye on folded slips of paper. From his wheelchair, Ye was reported to have "exclaimed his amazement and his support for Extraordinary Powers research."〔Palmer (2007), p. 53〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhang Baosheng」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
