Basic Overview

Sanjiao Meridian of Hand-Shaoyang (SJ.)

One of the twelve meridians. It was first recorded in the medical book of the Mawangdui Han Tomb unearthed in Changsha. Among them, the Type A version of "Silk Book·Meridian", namely "The Book of Moxibustion of the Eleven Meridians of the Foot and Arm", calls it "the Shaoyang Meridian of the Arm (pulse)"; the Type B version, namely "The Book of Moxibustion of the Eleven Meridians of Yin and Yang", calls it "the Ear Meridian (pulse)". "Lingshu Meridians" calls it "the triple burner hand Shaoyang meridian". It is now commonly known as the Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, or simply the Triple Burner Meridian.

The hand Shaoyang triple burner meridian flows from 9 to 11 pm (the hour of Hai)

The pericardium meridian is responsible for blood, and the triple burner meridian is responsible for qi, and they are the main channels for the circulation of blood and qi in the human body. Arthritis of the upper limbs and edema caused by poor water flow in the human body are all diseases treated by the triple burner meridian.

The Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian and the Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian are exterior and interior to each other.

Meridians

The two versions of "Silk Book·Jingmai" record that the course of this meridian runs from the hand to the head and enters the ear, which is similar to the record in "Lingshu·Jingmai" about the upper limb. The Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian starts at the end of the fourth finger (ring finger, little finger and ring finger), ascends between the fourth and fifth metacarpal bones, along the back of the hand to the back of the wrist joint, then ascends between the ulna and radius (the two bones on the outside of the arm) on the outside of the forearm, passes through the elbow joint, ascends along the outside of the upper arm to the shoulder joint, crosses with the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian and runs behind it, enters the supraclavicular fossa (queac pelvis), spreads in the middle part of the chest cavity (Tanzhong), spreads in the pericardium, descends through the diaphragm, and from the chest to the abdomen belongs to the upper, middle and lower triple burner organs.

Its branches are from the middle part of the chest cavity, ascending from the supraclavicular fossa (jugal fossa), then to the neck, connecting with the back of the auricle, going straight upward and out of the upper corner of the auricle, from then bending downward to the cheek and then to the lower part of the eye socket.

Another branch of the meridian enters the ear from behind the auricle, then exits in front of the auricle, passes the Kezhu master point, crosses forward at the cheek, reaches the outer corner of the eye (sharp canthus), and connects to the foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian.
