经络的非对称性研究及猜想

Research and Conjecture on the Asymmetry of Channels

考古发现《黄帝内经》以前的文献从经络数目到经络走向多不对称,《黄帝内经》不同篇章关于经络走向的描述也有矛盾之处。因此,经络结构的对称性并不显著。理论上讲,属络脏腑的经络,在空间和数量上非对称性明显,不对称性是常态。经络的不对称性能更好地兼容其他理论,解决《黄帝内经》中不同篇章的矛盾,更全面地解释经络全貌。基于经络感传现象既有向心性,也有离心性和经气双向循行的现象,十二经疾病传变也有顺逆,更能显示出经络的不对称性。由此认为,经络为非对称性动态双向循环系统,非对称动态交替的运行通路既包括脏腑之气又含有经脉之气,不断升降运动,呈现非对称动态平衡,体现了人体既是互根互用,又同时对立制约的阴阳平衡过程。

Previous documents of Huangdi Neijing discovered by archaeology are asymmetrical from the number of channels to the running course of channels.There are also contradictions in describing the running course of channels in different chapters of Huangdi Neijing,so the symmetry of channel structure is not significant.In theory,the visceralchannels are obviously asymmetric in space and quantity,and the asymmetry is normal.The asymmetry of channels is more compatible with other theories,which can solve the contradictions of different chapters in Huangdi Neijing and explain the whole channels more comprehensively.Based on the phenomenon of sensory transmission of channels,there are not only centripetal,but also centrifugal and bi-directional circulation of channel qi.The twelve channels diseases also have a positive and negative transmission,which shows the asymmetry of channel.Therefore,the channels are asymmetric dynamic bidirectional circulation system.The asymmetrical dynamic alternating operation pathway includes both the qi of zang-fu viscera and channels.Continuous ascending and descending movement presents asymmetric dynamic balance,which reflects the balance process of yin and yang,which is rooted in each other and constrained by opposites at the same time.
