Abstract
The chiral quark model as an effective theory of low energy QCD contains an abundance of physics despite its extremely simple appearance. The soliton model of baryons based on this effective lagrangian is reviewed, by paying special attention to the comparison with other models of baryons, especially the Skyrme model. A careful study of the baryon number and the flavor-singlet axial charge is shown to reveal the special role of valence quarks, which is the core of the standard quark models of baryons but is definitely missing in the skyrmion idea
