The eight meridians of the Qi meridian are only a category of the meridians of the human body, which is the general name of the Ren pulse, the Du pulse, the Chong pulse, the belt pulse, the yin stilt vein, the yang stilt vein, the yin dimensional vein, and the yang vein. Different from the twelve canons, it is not directly subordinate to the viscera, and there is no relationship between the surface and the inside.

Its functions are: 1. Communicate the connection between the 12 meridians, 2. It has the regulating effect on the accumulation and infiltration of qi and blood in the 12 meridians.

Eight Pulses:

Ren pulse, line in the midline of the ventral surface, its veins and hands and feet three yin and yin veins many times intersect, can always be any body of the yin meridian, so called: "the sea of yin veins". Ren pulse originates in the cell, and is related to the woman's pregnancy, so there is a saying of "Ren master twins".

Governor pulse, line in the middle of the back, its pulse and the hands and feet of the three yang meridians and yang vein intersection many times, can be the governor of the yang meridian, so it is called "the sea of yang veins".

The pulse runs in the spine, ascends into the brain, and separates from the spine into the kidney, which is closely related to the brain, spinal cord, and kidney.

Chong pulse, up to the head, down to the feet, through the whole body, become the key of qi and blood, can regulate the twelve meridians of qi and blood, so it is called "the sea of twelve meridians", also known as "the sea of blood", and related to women's menstruation.

Belt veins, starting from the season, diagonally descending to the belt vein points, around the body, like a belt, can restrain the longitudinal veins.

Yin stilt vein, yang stilt vein: stilt has the meaning of light and healthy stilt, and has the function of nourishing the eyes, opening and closing the eyelids and moving the lower limbs.

Yin and Yang veins: Dimension has the meaning of maintenance. The function of the yin dimension is "the yin of the dimension", and the function of the yang dimension is "the yang of the dimension".

There are eight representative acupuncture points in the eight veins, Gongsun, Neiguan, Linqi, Waiguan, Shenmai, Houxi, Lieque, and Zhaohai have handed down a "song of eight caves":

Gongsun Chongmai, stomach, heart and chest, the same under the internal Guan Yin dimension;

The weeping gallbladder meridian is connected with the veins, and the yang Wei Rui is closed outside;

Houxi Du vein inner canthal neck, Shen vein Yang stilt network is also passed;

The column lacks the pulse of the lungs, and the yin stilt shines on the throat of the diaphragm.

The staggered circulation of the eight veins of the Qi Jing is distributed between the twelve meridians, and its role is mainly reflected in two aspects.

First, it communicates the connection between the twelve meridians.

The eight meridians of the Qi Meridian connect the meridians with similar parts and functions to achieve the function of controlling the qi and blood of the relevant meridians and coordinating yin and yang.

The Du Pulse is related to the Six Yang Meridians, called the "Sea of Yang Meridians", which has the effect of regulating the meridians and qi of the Yang meridians of the whole body, and the Ren Pulse is related to the Six Yin Meridians, which is called the "Sea of Yin Meridians", which has the effect of regulating the meridians and qi of the Yin meridians of the whole body. Chongmai is related to Ren, Du Pulse, Zu Yang Ming, Zu Shao Yin and other meridians, so it is known as "the sea of the twelve meridians" and "the sea of blood", which has the effect of containing the qi and blood of the twelve meridians.

The vein restraint connects the foot meridians of the longitudinal trunk; The Yin and Yang veins are connected with the Yin and Yang meridians, respectively in charge of the surface and the inside of the body, and the Yin and Yang Seesaw veins preside over the yang movement and yin quiet, and share the movement of the lower limbs and sleep.

Second, the eight veins of the Qi meridian have a regulatory effect on the accumulation and infiltration of qi and blood in the twelve meridians.

When the twelve meridians and viscera qi and blood are vigorous, the eight Qi meridians can be accumulated, and when the human body needs to function and activities, the eight Qi meridians can be infiltrated and supplied.

The six acupoints of Chong, belt, stilt and Wei are all attached to the twelve meridians and the Ren and Du pulses, but the two veins of Ren and Du each have their own acupoints, so they are compared with the twelve meridians and are collectively called the "Fourteen Meridians".

The 14 meridians have a certain route, symptoms and acupoints, which are the main part of the meridian system, and are the basis for acupuncture treatment and drug attribution in clinical practice.

In the "Book of Difficulty", it is said: "All these eight are not limited to the scriptures, so they are called the eight veins of the Qi Jing." That is to say, the eight veins of the Qi Jing are different from the twelve main sutras, and their characteristics are as follows:

1. The eight veins of the Qi Jing are not subordinate to the viscera, and there is no relationship between the outside and the inside.

One of the five viscera is the master, the six viscera stick to the five viscera, and the meridians are the tunnels of the viscera, so that there can be said to be a line and body, essence and spirit, and the water can float the boat and overturn the boat.

2. In addition to the Ren and Du two meridians, which have their own independent acupoints, the acupoints of the other six meridians are attached to the twelve meridians and the Ren and Du meridians.

3. The eight veins of the Qi Jing are intricately intertwined between the twelve meridians, and they intersect with the main meridians in many places in the human body, so the eight veins of the Qi Jing have the effect of conserving the qi and blood of the twelve meridians and regulating the rise and fall of the twelve meridians.

When the twelve meridians and viscera qi and blood are vigorous, the eight Qi meridians can be accumulated, and when the human body needs to function and activities, the eight Qi meridians can be infiltrated and supplied.

In the "Book of Difficulties", the twelve meridians are compared to "ditches", and the eight meridians of the strange meridians are likened to "lakes", which vividly illustrates this function.

In medical practice, the theory of the eight meridians should be used in diagnosis and treatment, especially acupuncture, massage and qigong all directly act on the eight meridians.

For example, external fever, nervous system diseases, diseases of the chest, abdomen, waist and back, as well as some diseases of the internal organs, etc., should not only be differentiated according to the eight veins, but also selected into the medicine formula of the Gui Qi Sutra for treatment.

The "big and small Zhoutian" in qigong practice is centered on the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

Tuina massage is also inseparable from the second pulse and yin and yang.

vein, so it was called "press" in ancient times.

The most prominent is acupuncture, which can not only be palpated on the eight veins, but also a method of selecting and treating acupuncture points.

In particular, Rendu Ermai has independent acupoints, and the treatment scope of each acupoint is different, and most of them are commonly used key acupoints in clinical practice.

In addition, the intersection of the eight veins of the Qi Jing is at the end of the four limbs of the twelve meridians, which is named "Eight Points of the Intersection of the Meridians", which is now commonly known as the "Eight Meridian Intersection Acupoints".

At the beginning, according to the division of the pattern differentiation to match these eight acupoints, called "Yin four needles, Yang four needles", its efficacy is significant, and then in the time to take the acupoints with these eight acupoints, according to the Qi Jing eight veins into the eight trigrams and according to the chronological direction to take the acupoints, called "Qi Jing Na Hexagram Method", commonly known as the Spirit Turtle Eight Methods and Feiteng Eight Methods, unique.

There is no division of Chinese medicine, and the five elements of yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and the water can float and recover the boat. Dividing the department will only harm people, and it will be a butcher for it.

The eight veins of the Qi Jing are important, but it is the surface of the human body, which means that yin gives birth to yang and solidity, and where does yin not give birth to yang.

When the Qi Sutra is opened, people will feel that the meridians around the body are smooth and full of energy.

Opening the Eight Veins of the Qi Jing is the key to the traditional life and life cultivation exercises.

The ancestors of the past dynasties regarded it as a top secret, and there was no leakage in the Dan Sutra and Taoist books.

Mortals have these eight veins, all of which belong to the yin gods and do not open, but the gods and immortals rush away with yang energy, so they can attain the Tao, the innate root of the eight veins, and the ancestor of one qi.
