What are meridians?

Meridian is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine. Meridian itself is a channel to run qi and blood, connecting zang-fu organs and body surface, and also connecting various parts of the body.

The composition of meridians includes meridians and collaterals. Meridians include fourteen main meridians, eight strange meridians and other affiliated meridians, tendons and skin. Collaterals are branches after meridians, including fifteen collaterals, sun collaterals and floating collaterals.

Meridian can communicate with the whole body and the network, so that the human body can maintain harmony and unity. In addition, it can also reflect the condition. When there are problems in some parts and the meridians are not smooth, symptoms will appear. Meridian also has the function of resisting evil spirits.

The meridian system is divided into the twelve meridians, including six yin meridians of liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney and pericardium, plus six yang meridians of gallbladder, bladder, stomach, large intestine and triple energizer. In addition, there are ren mai, du mai, yang Diao, yin Diao, yang Wei, etc. The odd meridians and eight veins form meridians, which mainly act on the human body and are channels for running qi and blood.

The circulation of qi and blood can communicate inside and outside the body surface and internal organs, and can communicate through meridians. In addition, it can also reflect the condition. When there are problems in some parts and the meridians are not smooth, symptoms will appear. In addition, meridians can resist diseases, such as head problems, and qi and blood run in the end to resist, so meridians have the function of resisting diseases.
