Fallacy of the contextual view
(Teacher Chen Yikui)
Talk about the meridians in the Lingshu chapter of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. So where did the meridians come from? The meridians are the outer body, and the collaterals are the points, that is to say, the secretions in the internal organs. After the secretions are released, they are transmitted to a certain point and connected with this meridian. This Westerner has no way to think about it. I used to be the same. After researching it to an unbelievable level, I was thinking, a Chinese culture is all about thinking and not actually doing it, then I Chen Yikui really did it, it's different, why did people in the past say that the point of the meridian is the network , that network is produced by the secretion of the internal organs and is connected with it, so I have to study physiology and anatomy.
In our Huangdi Neijing Lingshu chapter, this explanation is "wrong". The entire secretion of our internal organs is present in the whole body. It is not necessarily in the collaterals in the liver and liver veins to have the secretions of the liver. They are connected together. No, they are all present. So, in western examination, urine or bone marrow, or something, or a meat piercing, I think this is the right way to go.
