CORE DEFINITION

Acupoint Dabao (under the armpit). It governs all yin and yang collaterals of the body, irrigating the whole body. If this collateral is diseased, it causes 'pain all over the body.'

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

A whole-body broadcasting network. If the whole body aches, it is not treated point by point, but the main network (Dabao) is at fault. Excess causes whole-body pain (congestion), deficiency causes all joints to be slack (relaxation).

The Great Luo of Spleen is named 'Dabao' and is one of the fifteen major collaterals. It descends from Yuanye to the Dabao point, governing all yin and yang collaterals and irrigating the qi and blood of the whole body. It acts like a whole-body broadcasting network, dispersing the qi and blood transformed by the spleen to all joints and muscles. When this collateral's qi and blood are harmonious, the whole body is moistened; once it is congested or empty, it manifests as systemic pain or slackness.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.

Inertia

Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and is described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). It is one of the primary manifestations of mass, one of the core quantitative properties of physical systems.
