Direct Strike / Zhi Zhong
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Pathogenic factors directly strike the three yin channels (interior) without transmission through the three yang channels (exterior). For example, cold wind directly blowing on the abdomen can cause immediate abdominal pain and diarrhea (direct strike on Taiyin).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Airborne strike. For people with yang qi deficiency, even no process is needed; going out and being blown by wind can directly cause heart failure (direct strike on Shaoyin). Predicting that such a person's condition develops extremely rapidly, one cannot set up defenses according to conventional procedures.
Anchor fast decisions
External pathogens directly attack the viscera without transmission through the exterior and interior, with acute onset and deep location, as opposed to channel transmission.
