meridians of Chinese medicine
Monitor the health of Chinese medicine
Meridian (simplified Chinese: 经络; traditional Chinese: 經絡; pinyin: jīngluò), also known as channel, in traditional Chinese medicine, is the common name of vessel, (also known as channel) and collaterals. It is the path of running qi and blood, connection zang-fu viscera, communication inside and outside, and run through top and bottom. In Japan, "meridian" is known as "keiraku" and in Korea it's known as "kyungrak".
It is from the techniques and doctrines of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, acupressure, and qigong. According to these practices, the body's vital energy, "qi", circulates through the body along specific interconnected channels called meridians. There is no physically verifiable anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians.[1][2]

[edit] Main concepts
In TCM, patterns of disharmony (ie, bad health and emotional disorders) in the body are thought to be caused by disruptions of the body's energy flow along a series of acu-tracts. To correct those disruptions, specific points on the meridians called acupoints are stimulated via needles, moxibustion, applying pressure or other means.
There are about 400 acupuncture points and 20 meridians connecting most of the points, however by the 2nd Century CE, 649 were recognised in China.[3][4] Such 20 meridians are usually called the "twelve regular channels" or "twelve regular meridians" , with each meridian corresponding to each organ; nourishing it and extending to an extremity. There are also "Eight Extraordinary Channels" or "Eight Extraordinary Meridians" , two of which have their own sets of points, and the remaining ones connecting points on other channels.
The twelve standard meridians go along the arms and the legs. They are: Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine, Urinary Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, Triple Warmer (aka Triple Heater), Gall Bladder, and Liver. These terms refer to biological functions and not the structural organ, which is why there are some on the list with no corresponding anatomical structure.
Meridians are divided into Yin and Yang groups. The Yin meridians of the arm are: Lung, Heart, and Pericardium. The Yang meridians of the arm are: Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Triple Warmer. The Yin Meridians of the leg are Spleen, Kidney, and Liver. The Yang meridians of the leg are Stomach, Bladder, and Gall Bladder. [5]

A standard teaching text comments on the nature and relationship of meridians (or channels) and the Zang Fu organs:
“ The theory of the channels is interrelated with the theory of the Organs. Traditionally, the internal Organs have never been regarded as independent anatomical entities. Rather, attention has centered upon the functional and pathological interrelationships between the channel network and the Organs. So close is this identification that each of the twelve traditional Primary channels bears the name of one or another of the vital Organs.
In the clinic, the entire framework of diagnostics, therapeutics and point selection is based upon the theoretical framework of the channels. "It is because of the twelve Primary channels that people live, that disease is formed, that people are treated and disease arises."

What is healthy and sub-healthy
A lot of people think it is healthy as long as if only not getting sick, some people think it is healthy when every part body function are normal. Some one joke : eating up and spending a lot of money is healthy. Dictionary explain “ physiological function of every tissue and organ is normal , isn’t ill “ is being healthy.there are some reasons in all of these versions, but ,aren’t very completedly.
Having overall studying and long-term observing, Modern medicine think healthy is not only unillness, anatomy and physiologic function is normal ,but also should include: healthy personality and individual character, normal spirit, complete social accommodation, favourable interpersonal relationship.
This is very reasonable, It is difficulty imaging that a person who don’t get sick, but is gloomy all the day may be a healthy person! It also is difficulty imaging that a person whose physiologic function is normal , but always trouble surrounding may be a healthy, sound person.
It seems not easy real healthy; not only have some medical knowledge to refine vigorous physique,but also mould one’s character, raise favourable individual character and personality, train social accommodation and interpersonal relationship. All of these have been done, you are a real healthy!
