Hi Jang, welcome to the forum.
I'll try to answer these as best I can.....
1)ENERGY PORTS:
Keep in mind here RB's NEW is mainly based on Yoga practices, so there will be some dissimilarities between it and Qi-gong, though both have the same basic purposes.
NEW doesn't ignore the crown chakra, but uses it more as an end point in awakening the energy body, which kinda makes sense as it is the highest point, the highest frequency (or vibration) chakra, and the point of communication with our higher self.
The technique Robert describes in NEW is centred around development of the secondary energy system, which seems to be often ignored, but if used correctly, can greatly enhance the flow of energy to the primary chakras. The energy ports on our hands and feet are also often overlooked, which is why Robert makes a big thing of them. When you consider how much work these energy ports do in our everyday lives it makes sense to pay them some attention.
2) ENERGY PECULIARITIES:
The different techniques work the same way, but use different terminology. I'll see if I can translate, but not being too familiar with the chinese conventions, please forgive me in advance of I botch it up. [

Earth chi would be similar to the grounding force - the strong raw energy that is drawn up from the ground and converted by the root chakra into higher energy for the body to use.
Heavenly chi would be like the white / gold light that comes from above down through the crown chakra and energises us directly.
Solar & lunar chi - don't know how to relate this one, but I sure feel it a lot when meditating at sinrise or sunset, or during a full moon (BOY do I feel it then!!). This energy seems to be absorbed directly by the energy prtals, especially on the hands, or just seemingly infused through the skin.
3) COLOURED ENERGY:
This does need personal research as there's a great deal of info here to be absorbed. I think it basically relates to the frequency of energy dealt with by the different chakras and the colour that associates with that chakra, be it similar to increase chakra activity, or complementary to decrease it's activity. My memory of this area isn't too good, and I don't think Robert really expanded on this. The main aim of NEW was to help develop awareness of the secondary systems and how useful they are to the energy body.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
James.
