 | quote = [...] Confucius combines ''qi'' with the divine and the essential, and the corporeal soul with ghosts, opposes the two (as ''yang'' against ''yin'', spiritual soul against corporal soul) and explains that after death the first will rise up, and the second will return to the earth, while the flesh and bones will disintegrate.
