Meridian is the general name of the twelve meridians, Qijing Eight Veins and the twelve meridians affiliated to the twelve meridians, which is the backbone of the meridian system and the main channel for the whole body to run qi and blood. "Lingshu Jing" says: "the twelve meridians is between the flesh, but unfathomable ... Floating pulse and common pulse are collaterals." "Lingshu Pulse Degree" says: "The meridians are inward, the branches are horizontal, and the rest are sun." In other words, the large and deep straight trunks are meridians, and the small and shallow transverse branches are collaterals. Meridians are divided into normal meridians and odd meridians. The former is called twelve (normal) meridians, and the latter is called eight strange meridians. Besides, meridians also belong to the category of meridians. Huangdi Neijing On Soul Pivot and the Sea: "The husband of the twelve meridians belongs to the government, and the external branch." "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Benzang": "Those who are meridians, therefore, are good at nourishing yin and yang, bones and muscles and benefiting joints."
