The ancient oriental medical studies all share the same origin with witchcraft, and Chinese medicine is no exception.Three thousand years ago, the study of medicine in China was transferred from witch doctor to Taoist alchemy (also known as alchemy), which was a matter between Zhou and Qin.Chinese medicine and Taoist alchemy, as well as Indian yoga since ancient times, all recognize that the source of human life lies in the reservoir of infinite energy hidden inside the human body.However, in the ancient Taoist alchemy scriptures, the word qi used the original character "[上无下灬]".For example, using the method of splitting characters, "(wu)" is the ancient character of "wu", and the following four points are the guise of the word "huo".In other words, "no fire" means "[there is no above and below]".What is "fire"?Lust, lust, restless thoughts are fire.There is no such impetuous fire (equal to the Xianghuo mentioned in Chinese medicine books).When the vitality is stabilized (jun fire is upright), it can gradually trigger the vitality inherent in life.The popularity of qi mechanism follows the twelve hours of the day and night (an ancient Chinese timekeeping method, which is connected with the rules of the universe's sun and moon), and circulates the body's qi channels (twelve meridians) and viscera for a week.And in each hour, through the different parts of the qi channel, the theory of acupuncture points of the human body is studied, which develops into the science of acupuncture and moxibustion.

In addition to the twelve meridians known in medicine, there are also Qi meridians that do not belong to the twelve meridians, which are the "eight extraordinary meridians" that Taoism pays special attention to. The strange word in "Qijing" does not mean strange, but the meaning of "single branch"; that is, it has a special and independent meaning. The "Eight Extraordinary Meridians" include Du, Ren, Chong, Dai, Yangwei, Yinwei, Yangqiao and Yinqiao.The governor vessel is the governor vessel mentioned by Zhuangzi in "Paoding Jieniu", which is "the meridian of the governor". It is roughly equivalent to the spinal nerve of the central nervous system in modern medicine.Renmai is equivalent to the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and viscera in modern medicine.Daimai is equivalent to the kidney nervous system of modern medicine.The yang dimension and the yin dimension are closely related to the nervous system of the brain, cerebellum and diencephalon in modern medicine.Yang stilts and yin stilts are equivalent to the reproductive nerves of modern medicine, including the main nerve functions such as the prostate and hands and feet.Only the pulse is hard to say. In terms of its volume, it has no fixed location and system range between the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system; it starts from the small nerve plexus between the reproductive function and the testicle, and passes through the stomach and the heart. And rush up the diencephalon.

Only those who use the ventilator can truly experience the condition of the Qi channel, and then believe that it is true.But it is especially necessary to declare that I am not a professional medical student, and the terms in Chinese and Western medicine that I quote are just my research experience, and they are just for interpretation and explanation, and they should not be rigidly true. In addition, from the inheritance of ancient Indian yoga, after the purification and arrangement of Buddhism, it has become a practice method of the Tantric school of Buddhism. system.The three channels are the left, right, and middle channels of the human body, which are different from the three main channels of Taoism: the front (ren), the back (du), and the middle (chong).The four rounds or seven rounds are the main parts of the facial nerve plexus in the cross-section of the human body. They have different concepts from the Taoist theory of the upper, middle and lower dantians, but they have similar effects.
