不可再用“经”取代“经脉”

″Meridian″ Can't be Used to Replace ″Meridian and Vessel″

在经脉理论的表述中,经脉是固有的全称概念,其表述形式有多种,除了经脉外,还用通称的"脉",简称的"经",代称的"三阴三阳"(太阳、阳明、少阳、太阴、少阴、厥阳)。以简称的"经"取代的全称的经脉概念来表述经脉理论,往往造成误解,没有内涵清晰的概念,理论的表述就不会严密。

In the expression of meridian-vessel theory, meridian-vessel is an inherent universal concept. In addition to meridian- vessel, it has a variety of expression forms, such as the general term ＂vessel＂, the abbreviated term ＂meridian＂, the code name ＂ three-yin and three-yang＂ （taiyang, yangming, Shaoyang, taiyin, shaoyin, Jueyang）. Tile substitution of the abbreviated term ＂ meridian＂ for the universal meridian-vessel concept to express the meridian-vessel theory may often cause misunderstanding. Therefure, without clear-connotation concept, the theoretical expression may not be exact.
