• W1593073338 abstract "According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, acupuncture meridian is recognized as the most important network responsible for transporting Qi, the flow and therefore determining surviving status of human body. Qi (also Chi or Ki) in traditional Chinese culture is an active principle forming part of any living thing. Qi is frequently translated as energy flow, but some researchers stand in different attitudes. Energy flow is the most used phrase to explain Qi in traditional Chinese culture. Before Scientific Revolution, ancient Chinese philosophers believed that Qi was the invisible and basic unit of all life and matter, endowed things with specific characteristics. In other words, Qi as basic unit was combined to create distinctive matters, providing matters various functions. The concept of Qi in Chinese philosophy divides into two opposite basic characteristic as Yin and Yang, which is used to describe how polar or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn. Opposites thus only exist in relation to each other. Yin aspect of the Qi was described as cold, stationary, negative, objective; Yang aspect of the Qi was described as hot, active, positive and virtual. Taking blood circulation for example, the TCM physicians believe that blood consists of the tangible Qi of Yin characteristic and the circulation motion was powered by the other invisible Qi of Yang characteristic. To expand the notion of Yin or Yang aspect of the Qi, the negative portion of Qi composes the objects such as human body and the positive portion performs the particular function like breath and thinking. What the ancient Chinese philosophers perceive as Qi is similar to the concept of in modern science. Energy is the capacity of a system to do work. In other words, like the Yang aspect of the Qi imparted the ability of function to matters. On the other hand, matter like the Yin aspect of the Qi has mass and occupies volume. According to Einstein’s the theory of relativity, however, mass and are two names for the same thing, neither one appears without the other, just like Qi has two opposite and interconvertible characteristic. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, concept of Qi is difficult to be understood how human body functions in different conditions, such as in health or in disease. For example, human inner organs in TCM called Zang-fu possess respective Qi. The particular Qi flows out of respective inner organ along an acupuncture meridian intitled as the organ name circulate in the body, and somehow absorb or release Qi from or to environment via acupoints. Meridians are channels along with Qi circulates, balances throughout the" @default.
