Acupuncture meridians and their internal dependence reflected in the ancient laws for practical use

Abstract

Hollow Organs are the stomach, bladder, gall bladder, and the small and large intestines. Being hollow they contract more intensely or they are more active. Since ‘active’ means ‘Yang’, the Hollow Organs are Yang organs. They are represented on the surface of the skin by Yang meridians, which run downward along the back of the body and the outer side of arms and legs. The Governing (GV) meridian runs downward at the center of the back and head. (See the book of the author: M. Kuman, Modern Aspects of Ancient Acupuncture).3
