Three pulse-taking positions on the radial artery at the wrist. The left hand corresponds to the heart, liver, and kidney (yin), while the right hand corresponds to the lung, spleen, and kidney (yang).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Human body dashboard. Treat the wrist as a holographic projection of the human body. Without cutting open the body, one can read the real-time operational status of the five viscera and six bowels through the pulse sensation at Cun (upper jiao), Guan (middle jiao), and Chi (lower jiao).

Anchor fast decisions

Cun, Guan, and Chi correspond to the upper, middle, and lower jiao of the human body and the viscera. The radial artery pulse reflects the qi and blood movement of the corresponding viscera; holographic theory holds that a part contains the information mapping of the whole, so the overall condition can be read at the wrist.
