What is the "seasonal order" of meridians and its invalid refutation?

Yu Juan, a female teacher of Fudan University who died of cancer, quoted a statement about the solar terms in the twelve meridians in Why I Got Cancer.

From 5 pm to 7 pm, the kidney meridian is in season.

7-9 pm, pericardium sutra season.

At 9- 1 1 in the evening, "San jiao Jing" is just in time.

At night11-1is a time of courage.

65438+ 0-3 am, ugly liver meridian is in season.

3-5 am, the lung meridian is in season.

From 5 am to 7 am, it is the season of Shi Mao's large intestine meridians.

People trained in modern medicine are crazy about this seasonal statement:

From the perspective of western medicine, the liver is always running. The liver is an important metabolic organ, which also secretes bile and stores glycogen. Blood will be metabolized by the liver, which is called detoxification. For example, after drinking in the morning, metabolism and detoxification will not begin until the evening.

The official account of WeChat, WeChat of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, has posted such rumors.

The premise of this criticism is that the season is understood as "on duty", and if you are not on duty, you will not work. However, the current season is different from the shift change, and the improper order is still playing a role. The current season means that a country is more active in the alternation of the rotating presidency of the United Nations.

Yu Juan himself understood it this way:

Season means duty. In other words, these organs have played a major role in these days.

* * From 23:00 to 3: 00 the next day, it is the strongest period of liver activity and the best period of liver detoxification.

("Detoxification" has been rumored to be a concept of modern medicine, not a term of Chinese medicine, but used by charlatans to explain Chinese medicine. )

20 17 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine talks about how the biological clock controls the genes and mechanisms of the body. Its findings include the time when the human body has the highest temperature, the highest blood pressure and the fastest response.

I don't think that the discovery of the Nobel Prize in Biomedicine proves the correctness of "meridian stream" and "meridian season".

However, it reminds us that if we want to refute the "seasonal meridians", we must first accurately understand that "seasonal meridians" means that a certain meridian is most active at a specific time.

"The liver works 24 hours a day" is not enough to refute "the meridians are in season". Only by proving that "the liver is not the most active at 1 to 3 o'clock in a day" is an effective refutation of "meridians in season".

As for the fact that the liver is not equal to the liver meridian, let's leave it there first.

The premise of refuting is to accurately understand the other party's argument, not to refute it under the premise of misunderstanding, and the result is "digging up your own buried body" and being complacent.
