Description |
From an edition published in 1537 (16th year of the Jiajing reign period of the Ming dynasty). The large intestine is one of the sixfuviscera. At the top, it meets the ileocecal conjunction (lanmen- Barrier Portal), where it communicates with the small intestine and at the base it meets the anus (gangmen- this includes the colon and rectum). The large intestine channel of handyangmingpasses through the lung, with which it stands in an external-internal relationship. Collected Gems of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Vol. 1, states: 'The large intestine weighs 1jin(Chinese lb, c. 500 gr.) and 2liang(Chinese oz., c. 50 gr.). It measures 2zhang(1zhang= c. 3 1/3 metres) and 1chi(Chinese foot) in length, 4cun(Chinese inches) in breadth, and 1cunin diameter. It is coiled in 16 convolutions to the right of the navel. It can hold 1dou [1dou= c. 10 litres] of grain [i.e. solids] and 7½sheng(1sheng= c. 1 litre) of water [i.e. liquid]. Wellcome Images |
