    Author: Gao XY, Chen Y, Sun CJ.
    Journal: Zhongguo Zhen Jiu; 2011 Jul; 31(7):653-6. PubMed ID: 21823298.
    Abstract:
    Through his long-term acupuncture-moxibustion teaching and academic research, professor LI Ding from Shanghai University of TCM had conducted a profound research on the theory of the eight extra meridians, named Governor Vessel, Conception Vessel, Thoroughfare Vessel, Belt Vessel, Link Vessels and Heel Vessels, as well as their relationship with the regular meridians. He rectified the miss-understanding on the courses of Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel determined by the ancient medical masters, and had a further analysis on some different views, such as the running course of Governor Vessel and the flowing direction of meridian qi in Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel. He proposed that the nutrient qi flew up to down in Governor Vessel and down to up in Conception Vessel. His research and discovery much perfected the theory of the eight extra meridians and provided a significant instruction for the research on the eight extra meridians in the later generations.
