Practice. It is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who has been practicing for thousands of years and summarizing the lessons learned. Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners in the process of treatment, found that some of the Chinese medicine on a particular meridian of the disease is particularly effective, the other meridian of the disease effect is general, it will be determined that the drug attributed to the meridian. Later generations summarized the experience of their predecessors, and summarized the meridians of most drugs, thus forming the theory of Chinese medicine meridians, which greatly facilitates Chinese medicine practitioners in selecting and dispensing medicines. In fact, some Western medicines also have this feature, such as certain drugs for heart disease are only effective on the heart, other parts of the body is not obvious, so that doctors can use special drugs, but also to reduce side effects.

This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, the odor shape of the drug and the human body's five organs of the knowledge of the evidence, from the practice of long-term clinical observation, according to the five viscera pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty, five colors green, red, yellow, white and black. With the theory of the five elements, wood, fire, earth, gold and water, the world's material characteristics and natural phenomena, the image of the combination. This is the crystallization of China's pusu science, Chinese medicine, also known as the theory of the unity of mankind....

Ancient people relied on the growth form, flavor, growth environment, collection season, and the part of the drug to analyze the 'talent' of the drug, so there will be different medical practitioners of the same drug to make different interpretations. Generally, they try to analyze and prescribe the medicines themselves and experiment to get the attribution.

The attribution of drugs to meridians in Chinese medicine is derived from the theory of the five elements in Chinese medicine. The reason is that the meridians of the human body have correspondences with the five elements. Wood, fire, earth, gold and water correspond to the liver meridian, heart meridian, spleen meridian, lung meridian and kidney meridian, and there is a mutual relationship between them. Liver meridian in the five elements belongs to wood, wood can produce sour flavor, sour flavor can nourish the liver. All Chinese medicines that have a sour flavor can enter the liver meridian. Heart meridian in the five elements belongs to the fire, in the five flavors belong to the bitter, where the bitter flavor of the medicine can enter the heart meridian. And so on.

The categorization of Chinese medicines should have a process similar to "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs". At the same time, it is also a process of practical testing.

Some people are meridian-sensitive and can perceive the operation of their own meridians. When tasting herbal medicines, they can perceive where the medicinal properties of the herbal medicine reach, so that they can speak of the specific meridian to which the medicine belongs.

Notice that in the books of the ancients, there is some difference in the categorization of medicines left behind. Thinking carefully, this difference should come from the therapeutic practice. According to the book of the attribution of meridian to understand, treatment, feel and different, summed up their own experience, came up with some not quite the same attribution of meridian way.

Odds are that even meridian-sensitive people will be somewhat different. One person won't be sensitive in all places, but rather a group of people slowly summing it up. That's what fits with what we're seeing in the general population right now.

After all, it is the result of utilizing the sensitivity of the human body, using the body as an instrument to "measure" the medicinal properties. Of course, some deliberately trained people, than other people's sensitivity will be higher.

All of them are fabricated. For example, Aristolochia, which has a kidney likeness, goes to the kidney meridian.

Then there is the rigid application of the five elements, which have five colors, and then the drugs are assigned to the meridians according to their colors.


Black goes to the kidneys, red to the heart, and green to the liver.

It's as if there are color discriminating pathway switches in the body. When black beans go in, the kidney switch is turned on. When red beans go in, the heart's switch is turned on, and when green beans go in, the liver's switch is turned on.

The theory of Chinese medicine is the wisdom of mankind's infancy, relying on imagination, conjecture, and fabricated metaphysical nonsense, which sounds reasonable, but in fact, it is fooling and fooling people who do not understand.

The theory of Chinese medicine is that it is witchcraft.
