Divergent Channels
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Branches of the twelve regular meridians that diverge and penetrate deeply into the body cavities. They follow the pattern of 'separating, entering, emerging, and joining' (li, ru, chu, he), strengthening the connections between interior-exterior paired meridians in the deep regions of the body cavities.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Inner ring road. The regular meridians are the second and third ring roads (body surface), and the divergent channels are tunnels leading to the city center (internal organs). Some diseases cannot be cured on the body surface because the pathogenic factors hide in the deep tunnels of the divergent channels.
Anchor fast decisions
Branches of the twelve regular meridians that diverge and penetrate deeply into the body cavities, following the pattern of separating, entering, emerging, and joining, strengthening the deep connections between interior-exterior paired meridians. As an 'inner ring road' metaphor: the regular meridians are the surface ring roads, while the divergent channels are deep tunnels to the internal organs; when the disease is in the deep tunnels, surface treatment is ineffective.
