Objective:
To summarize 4 schools of thought in studies of meridians.
Methods:
Consult literature and review the history of studies of meridians.
Results:
The studies of meridians in the past dozens years at home and abroad have gradually formed four main theories, namely the nerve-conduction meridian theory of neurophysiology, body fluid circulation meridian theory of the physio-biochemistry, bio-field meridian theory of biophysics, and the connective tissue structure meridian theory of the overall-gap viewpoint, which are summarized and analyzed.
