根據中國傳統醫學,經絡具有溝通表裡,聯繫臟腑器官,通行氣血,感應傳導及調節人體各部份之功能。然而以現代眼光來看,經絡是以系統和整體的觀點來加以看待,因此若想要更近一步了解經絡特性,便需要融入更多現象來探討經絡特性。 本研究主要研製一新型經絡量測系統,並以王唯工教授所提的「共振理論」概念為基礎,來探討經絡間特徵頻率的相關性。實驗中以20位正常人做為研究對象。受測時間為每天下午3-7點,所用頻率分別為30、80、100、150、200、400Hz,採雙電極模式來量測經絡阻抗並求其特徵頻率。 結果顯示本系統除了不會受施測壓力因素影響量測結果,且其量測穩定性良好,在長時間量測後,依然能準確的量測阻抗值。研究中所量測的經絡特徵頻率大部分都集中於低頻20~50Hz,此現象也同樣發生在聲訊號與電磁波在經絡傳導上。手部六條經絡特徵頻率量測結果心經為32.53±12.59、大腸經30.91±10.99、肺經44.11±13.03、心包經41.64±10.68、三焦經35.66±14.15、小腸經29.04±9.42。在心經與其他經絡之間的相關性方面,發現無特定的倍率關係但均可以4-6階的Gaussian equation來加以表示。
According to the traditional Chinese medicine, the meridian system transports the blood, the chi and nutrition, communicating with the organs and systems of the body. From a modern perspective, meridians are treated with views of the system and the whole. Hence, in order to understand the meridian properties further, the research about meridian need to embody more phenomena. The purpose of this study was to develop a new type measurement system of meridian, and researched the relationship between the characteristic frequency of meridians using "Resonance theory" developed by W.K. Wang. In this research, twenty healthy adults were recruited for the experiment, and were measured meridian impedances at frequencies of 30,80,100,150,200, and 400Hz between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The results showed that the system will not be influenced by the measuring pressure factor, and it has excellent reproducibility and stability. In this study, most of characteristic frequency of meridians was on low frequency between 20Hz to 50Hz, and this phenomenon was also found that the propagation of an electromagnetic wave and sound signal in meridian. The characteristic frequency of meridian was 32.53 ± 12.59Hz for Heart meridian, 30.91 ± 10.99Hz for Large Intestine meridian, 44.11 ± 13.03Hz for Lung meridian, 41.64 ± 10.68Hz for Pericardium meridian, 35.66 ± 14.15Hz for Triple Heater meridian, and 29.04 ± 9.42Hz for Small Intestine meridian. There was no ratio relationship between Heart meridian and other meridians. However, the relationship can be presented by using 4-6 order Gaussian equation between Heart meridian and other meridians.
