Dialectical Guidance: Because the channels and collaterals wind around some parts of the network of the viscera and internal organs, therefore, the locations of the channels and collaterals as well as the focus of a particular disease can be deduced according to the pathological changes of the relevant parts.
Clinically, it is possible to group the channels and collaterals of a particular disease dialectically based on the specific syndromes associated with the related internal organs in the network.
