[Reconstitution of the meridian system]
Abstract:
In order to express the features and significance of meridians and collaterals scientifically, a profound study on the process, basis and idea of the binary structure constitution of the traditional meridian system including the 12 regular meridians and 8 extra meridians was carried out. It pointed out the defect of failure in giving consideration to both theory and clinical application of the traditional system, and proposed a new binary structure of the 4 extremities and trunk, which suit the system to the treating principles of acupuncture in the meridian and acupoint theory in a better way.
