The Four Medical Dictionaries Mantang Figures 11 and 12: Human Context

Figure 11 Human Body Veins (Front)

(1) This diagram is drawn based on the relevant content of Chapter 4 of “Discussing the Blue Liuli of this Collection” in the “Four Medical Classics Blue Liuli”.

(2) The main diagram shows that the veins of the human body are centered on the umbilical cord. The veins form the brain marrow from the navel upwards, and the “dementia” dementia attaches to the brain marrow and produces “bacon”, so bacon exists in the upper part of the human body. The veins form a lifeline from the center of the umbilical cord, and “jealousy” exists by attaching to the lifeline, producing “Chiba”, so Chiba exists in the middle of the human body. The veins form the reproductive organ veins from the navel downward, and the “greed” desire attaches to the reproductive organs and exists, producing “longs”, so the bulges exist in the lower part of the human body.

(3) There are three types of pulses in the human body, the black vein is located in the front, the lifeblood vein is in the middle, and the white vein is located in the back.

(4) The bleeding sites in this figure are marked with red numbers.
