Abstract:
There are two systems as the red channel system and the white channel system carved or painted on the wooden figurine ofof Benque school. The two systems are horizontally staggered each other without overlapped. The red channel system, similar towooden figurine, have channels, but without points. For the white channel system, the running courses of channels result from the sensation distributions of the points after optional stimulation. Thewooden figurine focuses on the illustration of the white channel system, named as white channel figurine. Compared with thered channel figurine, together with examples, such as the running course of the white channel related to the meridian of heart-transfer-point, the white channel related to the belt vessel linking to lung-transfer-point, stomach-transfer-point and kidney-transfer-point, as well as the corresponding photographs. It is indicated that thewhite channel figurine is a training aid for testing the sensation marching along channel (SMC) caused by transfer-point stimulation. The white channel system is a flexible way of channel. The study aims to observe the/SMC reaching the affected area and contributes to clinical practice. This discovery is not related to the "intermediate link theory" in the Yellow Emperor meridian system.
