We present a qualitative derivation of the chiral model from QCD. This is based on using a NambuJona-Lasiniotype effective Lagrangian as an intermediate step. A detailed derivation of the anomalous low-energy Wess-Zumino term is presented. This includes vector, axial-vector, and pseudoscalar particles. The low-energy scale is set by H¯∼〈Ψ¯Ψ〉. We also present the low-energy nonlinear chiral model which generalizes the Skyrme model. The possibility of soliton solutions is indicated. There is a possible application of these ideas to electroweak theory.
