Jing-well points

bbsadmin

Hi David King
Why are the Jing-well points of yang meridians related to metal and the Jing-well points of yin meridians related to wood?

Hi D. K.
I think it is related with the theory of Yin Yang, five elements and four seasons.
The Jing-well points is where the meridians start or finish, so is the place where the qi change from yin to yang and from yang to yin.
The yang meridians represents the summer and the yin meridians represents the winter. Between the summer (yang) and the winter (yin) there are spring (wood) and autumn (metal). So the Jing-well points of Yin meridians are relationship to wood (spring), because after the winter there is the spring, before the summer (yang meridians). And the Jing-well points of Yang meridians are relationship to metal (autumn), because after the summer (yang meridians) there is the autumn, before to start the winter (Yin meridians).
Please let me know if my thought is correct.

Dear Wilson,
It seems you did think a lot!
But it's not that complicated, but rather it's the relationship between the metal and wood, of course the metal could restrict the wood.
So hear the Yang is going to restrict the Yin, from the very beginning.

Possibly your opinion is kind of reasonable, but there's no such description in ancient literatures of acupuncture and moxibustion in China.

One thing is sure that the Jing-well point IS where the meridian starts or finishes, so is the place where the qi changes from yin to yang and from yang to yin.

Personally I don't think it's something to do with the cycle of four seaons, it's no point to think so, not really logical.

Apparently the Five-Shu points talk about the running of water, the likening to the running of Qi, starting from a bit weaker to getting stronger and stronger.

But it doesn't fall down or wane, like the water in winter.
So, I don't find the logic in the relationship of the four seasons.

Anyway, it's always good to know some new ideas.

Dear Wilson,
First of all, it's me, Tutor, not D.K, who have answered your question.

Ok, D.K is very busy recently, or very lazy too.


The wood is the rising or growing element, so Jing-Well points should start from Wood, but on one hand there should be the rising and growing, while on the other there should also be the falling and diminishing, or deleting, so the Yang ones indicate the opposite from the Yin ones.

Is that reasonable?

Hi Tutor
Tank you for your replay and sorry for I call you D.K.
So, the metal is to restrict the wood and a excessive rising.
My explanation about five elements an four seasons is very nonsense?

Dear Wilson,
I cannot say your thinking of the relationship between the four seasons and five elements and the Jing-Well points is nonsense, but I did say it's not really logical.


But it's good to know something new thought by somebody.
