CORE DEFINITION

In addition to the exterior-interior relationships (e.g., Lung-Large Intestine), there are special cross-connections between Zang and Fu organs. Examples include 'Lung connects with Bladder', 'Liver connects with Large Intestine', and 'Kidney connects with San Jiao'.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Backup route. Why can sciatica (Bladder meridian) be treated by needling Lung meridian points on the hand? Because Lung and Bladder are divergently connected. This is a 'wormhole' in the meridian system, connecting seemingly unrelated distal organs.

Anchor fast decisions

In addition to the exterior-interior meridians, specific Zang-Fu organs have cross 'divergent' connections (e.g., Lung-Bladder, Liver-Large Intestine, Kidney-San Jiao), forming meridian 'wormholes' that allow distal point selection to treat diseases of other organs, reflecting holistic interconnection.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/2

Practice this model in one real situation:

To treat a disease of a certain Zang or Fu, select distal points of its divergently connected Fu or Zang (e.g., Lung and Bladder are connected, so treat Bladder meridian pain with Lung meridian points). Clinically, this guides distal point selection and mutual treatment
use in conjunction with exterior-interior relationships.
