Cognitive differences between Taoism and medical science in the location of "Jiaji"
The differences in the cognition on the location of "Jiaji" between Taoism and medical science are summarized through literature searching. In the medical field
"Jiaji" is generally described as "Jiaji
Xue
(point)"
which is considered as EX-B 2
while
in Taoism
it is expressed as "Jiaji
Guan
(pass)"
focusing on the crucial parts of the body. Medical scholars lay their attention to the distance of "Jiaji" lateral to the spine
in which "
Jia
" (place on both sides) is mostly considered. In comparison
the Taoists emphasize the central axis on the back of human body expressed as "Jiaji
Gu
(bone)" and "Jiaji
Sanguan
(three crucial parts)"
in which
"
Ji
(spine)" is the key. Due to the therapeutic purposes of acupuncture
medical scholars focus on the communication of "Jiaji" with the body surface ultimately. Based on the inner perspective of Taoism
"Jiaji" is connoted to be the three-dimensional structural space located deeply inside of the body. The cognitive differences in the location of "Jiaji" between Taoism and medical science reflect the discrepancy in the cognitive dimensions and approaches to the human body between them
which provide the references for the textual research of "Jiaji" in traditional Chinese medicine.
