Abstract
In this paper, we study the reason why Zuyangming (stomach meridian) travels the body through yin territory in contrast with the other eleven main meridians governed by the quantitative–qualitative yinyang synchronicity of meridians and territories to discover. Zuyangming meets this principle only partially (in face and leg) and that is why we attempt to decipher the reasons for this exception in the thoraco–abdominal trajectory. Ancient traditional medical texts describe the internal and external routes of meridians and the relations between the spleen–stomach pair, which Su Wen 8 transforms into spleenstomach, mentioning the membranous binding (connective tissue today) which unifies both viscera. In addition, the embryological studies of the human fetus provided information on yuan—source of life—and the development of tissue (fascia and membranes) during fetal organic evolution, allowing us to understand many of the classic ideas about life, health and disease. Reflections in this paper conclude that Zuyangmin internalizes its resplendent yang energy, and thus compensates for the predominant presence o yin energy (yin organs in yin territory), keeping the inter organic harmony of energy blows.
