28/8/2015

Chapter 26 of Paul U. Unschuld’s translation of the Nan-Ching (Classic of the 81 Difficult Issues). This chapter from the pivotal acupuncture classic introduces why there are 15 luo-connecting meridians yet only 12 main (ordinary) meridians.

“There are twelve conduits and fifteen network[ -meridians]. Of what nature are the additional three network[ -meridians]?

It is like this. They include the yang network[ -meridian], the yin network[ -meridian], and the great network[ -meridian] of the spleen. The yang network[ -meridian] is the network[ -meridian] of the yang walker [meridian]; the yin network[ -meridian] is the network[ -meridian] of the yin walker. Hence, there are fifteen network[ -meridian].”

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Warm Regards,
