也谈经络与穴位的物理本质

The Nature of Acupuncture Points and Meridians

摘要: 经络的存在性及其生理功能一直是学术界争论的热点问题，文中简略综述了人体经络与穴位研究情况。在对针灸理疗、中国气功实践以及经络研究分析总结的基础上，本文提出了关于人体经络的如下新观点：1) 经络与穴位在人体内是客观存在的；2) 在解刨学意义上经络与穴位没有确切的组成与结构；3) 经络与穴位是人体组织内天然存在的间隙，因而低密度是其基本物理特征；4) 经络与穴位在人体内构成了微通道网络系统，通道内运行的是现代科学意义上的气体，如氧气、水蒸气、二氧化碳等；5) 经络系统的主要生理功能是通过系统内气体运动将体内器官、组织及体外环境联系起来，协助循环系统等实体系统维持人体温度场的恒定。此外，还对经络、穴位处呈现出的特殊声、光、电、热等物理特性，循经感传现象，针灸、中国气功与经络系统的关系等问题进行了科学解释。

Abstract:  

Existence of meridians system in human body and its physiological functions is always disputed by many scientists and researchers. Researches on acupuncture points and meridians are reviewed slightly. On the basis of investigations of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy, practice of Chinese “qi gong” and researches on meridians, some new standpoints of meridians are put forward in this paper: 1) Acupuncture points and meridians are really in existence inside human body; 2) Acupuncture points and meridians have no any exact composition and form at anatomy; 3) The basic and physical characteristic of acupuncture points and meridians is their lower density comparing with surroundings tissue because they are made up of variable gaps inside tissue; 4) Acupuncture points and meridians structure a micro-channels network passing through by gases, such as oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide and so on; 5) The main physiological function of acupuncture points and meridians network system is got up the organs, tissue inside the body, and the environment contact outside the body by gases circulating through the network system, and that is helpful to maintenance of a constant temperature field of human body. The physical characteristics of special sound, light, electricity, hot etc. at acupuncture points and in meridians, phenomenon of propagated sensation along the meridians channels, relationship between acupuncture & moxibustion, Chinese “qi gong” and meridians system are also explained successfully.
