is associated with surrounding relies on small collaterals of cutaneous regions, outside

information transfers from small collaterals to collaterals and from collateral to

meridian vessel then from meridian to viscera, human body can regulate function that

accommodates surrounding changes according to information. Viscera and bowels

gangway is also the route that acupuncture and moxibustion, Qigong, massage and

dermatologic cure disease, this is the reason that acupuncture and moxibustion

various reaction through this route such as pain, tenderness, changes of color and

intradermal tubercle and so on, these reactions became diagnostic index. The above

contents forms related theory of skin and internal organ. Since 1954, on the

instruction of this theory, our country does general scientific study which is related to

The ancients draw simple distribution diagram of twelve meridians, fifteen

collaterals, and twelve divergent collateral s and eight extra meridians, but never draw

diagram of twelve and twelve meridian sinews. This diagram was first appeared in

Shijiang of meridian and collateral which is published in People publishing company

of shanghai in 1976.there is no concrete record of distribution appearance of twelve

cutaneous regions in Neijing and books of all through the ages. There is general

record in Plain Question; its general meaning is that skin of circulation areas of

meridian is cutaneous regions of each meridian and every meridian is the same. This

diagram of cutaneous region is drawn on the basis of this principle, in accordance

with record of distribution of 365 collaterals and tertiary collateral vessels and

according to appearance of human body.

Cutaneous regions of fourteen meridians are called cutaneous regions of twelve

meridians in Neijing. According to the record of 365 acupoints and 365 collaterals in

cutaneous regions in Neijing, conception vessel and governor vessel should have

subsection of cutaneous regions; otherwise acupoints of two vessels must be in

cutaneous regions of other meridians and must lose function of two vessels. So

original cutaneous regions of twelve meridians are added cutaneous regions of

conception vessel and governor vessel and become cutaneous regions of fourteen

meridians in Fig.63, Fig.64 and Fig.65.
