Discussion on the Qi-passage of Meridian-collateral System

十四经脉的"经",是纵向间隙的组织结构;十五络脉的"络",是横向间隙的组织结构;经脉与络脉的"脉",是纵横间隙的组织液气;经络气道的"道",是纵横间隙的组织结构;组织液气与组织结构的关系,是相互依存的关系;经络气道的理论,是有原始、科学和实质依据的基础理论。经络实质是组织液气等调控系统多种物质的综合功能。

The author of the present paper holds that ＂Qi-passage＂ is in fact the essence of meridian-collateral system in the human body. In my opinion, the so called ＂Jing＂ of the fourteen meridians is referred to the tissue structure of the longitudinal fascia space~ the so called ＂Luo＂ of the fifteen collaterals referred to the tissue structure of the transversal fascia space, and the ＂Mai＂ of meridians and collaterals referred to tissue l iquid-Qi of both longitudinal and transversal fascia space. The ＂Dao＂ （Qi- passage） of meridians and collaterals is the tissue structure of both longitudinal and transversal fascia space. The tissue liquid-Qi and tissue structure depend on each other. The doctrine of ＂Qi-passage＂ of meridian-collateral system has its original evidence, scientific and substantive basis. The meridian-collateral system is a regulative and control system of the unknown synthetic functions of multiple substances including loose connective tissue, tissue liquid-Qi, energy substances, nerves, blood vessels and lymph, etc..
