Abstract:
The records in Ni Shun Wu Se Mai Zang Yan Jing Shen of Tianhui medical slips are generally viewed as the attribution between five zang organs and meridians and also have the confusion about the "absence" of "liver" and its attributive meridian. In the paper, by elaborating the contents of this medical slip, it is discovered that the statement refers to "pulsating site" specially for the diagnosis of five zang disorders and has nothing to lose. In fact, it reflects a specific stage in the construction of meridian theory, meaning "taishao yinyang" system in the connection between five zang organs and yin meridians of hand and foot.
