Abstract

In this paper, scientific theory was used to prove that the meridian was the resonant channel of information energy of life, and experiment and demonstration was performed to reveal meridians to explore the significance of revealing meridian. Based on the theory of physics, biochemistry, molecular biology and information theory, the essence of meridian was demonstrated in theory. According to TCM meridian theory, acupuncture was applied at selected acupoints; the infrared thermograms of stomach meridian of foot yangming, large intestine meridian of hand yangming, small intestine meridian of hand taiyang, pericardium meridian of hand jueyin, heart meridian of hand shaoyin, triple energizer meridian of hand shaoyang, liver meridian of foot jueyin, bladder meridian of foot taiyang were recorded before and after acupuncture. As a result, thermogram recorded and showed the visual image of the meridian. It is indicated that an energy transmission network which cannot be dissected existing in the body, which was believed to be meridian. It was the resonant channel of information energy of life, and could be shown by thermogram. These experiments and theory have significance in science.

Keywords: dissection; infrared ray; meridian; network; thermogram.
