Off topic but I have been answering some questions as I have been found you might or might not like the answers but I will post them here for hopefully interesting content.
Simplest meaning = air
More complex = breathing
Even more complex = the energy derived from breathing
Most complex = the energy that is life
Everything that lives has Qi no matter how simple or complex. A plant derives energy from breathing / taking in carbon dioxide, we (animals) do it with oxygen. Each one give the other Qi as a waste product - balance - yin/yang - tao
Qi at higher levels communicates and can be used as all energy can, it is first learning to observe it, then learning to move it, then learning to use it.
Most Qi is under genetic control, each human organ and function has a dedicated Qi. There is also free Qi which is the energy we can play with.
As humans we live in a state of constant noise created by ourselves and others, the monkey brain chatters, it wont shut up. Still your mind and still your body and what you see/feel is Qi.
Qigong simply means working with Qi. You start by learning how to breath and follow the energy, you end up many many years latter understanding why you live and what you live for, and how to die.
