The average person's wrist has two horizontal stripes (palm side and arm side, hereinafter referred to as palm side and arm side), and some have three stripes (in the lower part of palm side, incoherent and can be ignored). It is impossible to verify which document the wrist stripes first appeared in. Judging from the existing publications, the answer is the one close to the palm (palm side). Judging from the academic reports and meridian training I participated in, palm prints can also be regarded as' wrist prints'. I think this is wrong. The reason for this is the following：
1, judging from the structure of the wrist. There are 8 bones in the wrist, and there are polygonal bone, polygonal bone, skull and hamate on the metacarpal side. There are scaphoid, lunate, triangle and pisiform bone on the radius and ulna side (arm side) respectively. The first horizontal line under the palm is right in the middle of these eight bones, and the correct position should be the line between the styloid process of radius and the styloid process of ulna, that is, the line above (arm side).
2. Fixed point from the missing point. We all know that there is a simple way to find the exact point: the thumbs of two palms are naturally separated from the other four fingers, and intersect vertically at the mouth of two tigers. The index finger of one hand naturally falls to the upper arm of the other hand, and the falling place is the exact point. The location of the exact point is 1.5 inch on the horizontal stripe of the wrist. We did an experiment. After finding the exact point by a simple method, we measured the distance to the wrist striation, and the answer was consistent with the arm wrist striation.
3. From the point of Taiyuan. The location of Taiyuan point is' the radial side of the wrist striation, where the radial artery beats'. I once asked dozens of people to do experiments, and the result was that there was no arterial pulsation in the palmar wrist striation, but there was one on the arm side.
4, we carefully observed that only the inside of the palm has horizontal stripes; Arm stripes surround the whole wrist. If the palm is a "wrist stripe", then the "back wrist stripe" cannot be located.
5. Taiyuan point first appeared in Huangdi Neijing and was written in Lingshu. This is the second loss:' Taiyuan, an inch behind the fish is also sleepy'.
After fish', that is,' after hand fish', medical encyclopedia says:' Hand fish, the name of human body parts, also referred to as fish. The thenar part. In front of the wrist, the big finger has a muscle bulge that looks like a fish, hence the name.
An inch behind the fish' is the position of the horizontal stripes on the arm and wrist.
To sum up, the metacarpal striations are indeed wrist striations, but they are not the' wrist striations' that we define as acupoints. For the sake of distinction, we can call it' palm stripe'.
So, why are all publications mislabeled? Maybe the first person who drew the map made a mistake, but later people didn't correct it, so it was handed down.
I recently read the legend of the famous doctor' Zhang Taixi'. Zhang Taixi, formerly known as Zhang Shijie, is a famous old Chinese medicine practitioner in China. He is a famous chief physician of the Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University. He is also the executive director of the Chinese Acupuncture Society, the director of the Acupoint Research Institute of the Chinese Acupuncture Society, the executive director of the Beijing Acupuncture Society, the director of the Beijing Traditional Medicine Research Promotion Association, the visiting professor of the Acupuncture Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medicine, the editorial board of China Acupuncture Journal and the visiting professor of Osaka Traditional Medicine Center. He has published more than 20 papers such as Application of Analogy in Taixi Aid, Talking about Carpus and Kunlun, and Talking about Taixi by Shenyuan. Among them, Application of Analogy in Taixi Aid, Shallow Pen and Talking about Carpus and Kunlun were selected as World Needle Federation papers.
Zhang Lao chose Taixi point, the original point of Shenjing, as the starting point, and used Taixi point, the original point of Shenjing, or supplemented with a small amount of air pockets to treat various intractable diseases. After years of repeated practice, it has achieved remarkable clinical results and is known as "Zhang Taixi". As far as the instinct of Taixi point and Taiyuan point is concerned, Taixi point is the starting point of kidney meridian, and the state of qi and blood is slow flow; Taiyuan is the original point of lung meridian, and the state of qi and blood is a waterfall that falls straight down. "the lungs are in the pulse." Theoretically,' Taiyuan' should do more than' Taixi'. But why is there a "Zhang Taixi" who is famous for treating all diseases with "Taixi", but there is no "Zhang Taiyuan"? I think it may be that Taiyuan's positioning has been wrong.
In fact, the wrong positioning of wrist stripes affects not only one acupoint in Taiyuan, but the positioning of all acupoints from wrist stripes to elbows. There are also textbooks that separate the three acupoints of Taiyuan, Daling and Shenmen from the wrist tattoo, which shows the contradiction that cannot be justified. I have come into contact with the confusion and confusion of many doctors and scholars. Some find it by feeling; Some people get angry when they tell the questioner to stick the needle in the approximate range. The dislocation of acupoints makes patients unable to get effective treatment, and also makes people question the ancient meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which affects the healthy and rapid development of traditional Chinese medicine and must be corrected.
