Abstract : Meridians(Jingluo, 经络), which have been debated in
the medical community for thousands of years, are still in invisible and
untouchable status. Its functions determine the human body life or
death. Combined Chinese and modern medicine, we have firstly identified
the anatomy and histological composition of triple energizer, which is
the sum of connective tissues and its network is the carrier of
meridians. Meridians are simply located on the triple energizer
structure and is parts of it. We establish the concept of triple
energizer-meridian network system. For the first time, we have seen
meridians, touched and anatomized them, which feature universal
significance to human health, and will open a new era of life science.
One Sentence Summary: On the basis of revealing triple
energizer, we unravel the anatomical essence of the meridians, from
which we have seen the meridians, touched and anatomized them.
Main Text: The theory of meridians has been developed in the
”Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Medicine” [1]. Modern medicine still has a
great deal of controversy on whether meridian structures exist or not.
Qingren Wang of Qing Dynasty wrote ” Traditional Chinese Medicine
Anatomy Correction ” and denied the existence of meridians[2].Even
experts who support it are unable to locate its positions, and believe
that this theory derived from ancient civilization, which was discovered
and applied by Chinese ancestors after the ice age. Some doctors think
that it was a product of the aliens, and people on earth cannot create
such a magical meridian civilization.
There are a lot of researchers who study meridians. In 1950s, some
people thought that the meridians were blood vessels spreading
everywhere in the body. A North Korean researcher claimed to have found
the meridians bodies in 1960, but committed suicide after found to be
false. In 1970s, people tried to measure the meridians sensing
phenomenon, and discovered the existence of its sensing way; by 1980s,
researchers found that the isotope could follow the meridians pathway
movement information, and at the same time detected that the meridians
circuit had a low electrical resistance and smooth sound and light
signal transmission. to
commit suicide to commit suicEntering this century, hypotheses of
neurology, liquidness and energy were formed to deal with the functions
of meridians[3].
After thousands of years practice, meridians are proven to have
functions without anatomical morphology. Modern medicine thinks that it
might have only a functional virtual organization structure without real
morphological localization. Ultimately, meridians remain to be an
unsolved enigma.
