Umbilical point, also called "Shenque" in Chinese medicine. It is connected with the the twelve meridians of the human body, and the internal organs are interlinked. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the navel is the "gateway" between the heart and kidney. It is often praised as a "fortress" of health care by health care experts. In Li Zheng's Tuina Manipulation, he said: "The human body has a navel, and there is a Beichen in the sky, so it is called Shu Tian, also known as Shenque, which is the point of arrogance and the root of life-saving." "The navel is connected to the five internal organs, and the door of the true god is also called Shenque." Shenque, also known as Shehe and Weihui, was born in Renmai, which is connected with the palace, while Renmai, Dumai and Chongmai are all out of the cell, with one source and three points, and have the function of commanding all qi and blood. Shenque is a sea of yin veins, similar to the Du meridian, and * * * manages the meridians of the human body, so the umbilicus is connected with the meridians. According to the principle of mutual root of Yin and Yang, it has the function of nourishing Yang by Yin. This point is connected with Mingmen, which is the source of congenital and the root of life.
Huiyuan Acupuncture has a profound description of Shenque point: "Shenque is abandoned by God. The upper part is the sky, the lower part is the earth, and the middle part is the people. There are Shu Tian and Yushu on both sides, with water on the top, vaginal intercourse and air sea on the bottom, and navel in it, such as a door. Supernatural forces are innate. When parents intersect to form a fetus, the innate umbilical cord is like a lotus stem, tied to the mother's life door. Born with water and kidney, it looks like an unopened lotus. It follows the five elements and is passed from mother to mother. When the fetus is full in October, God pays attention to the navel, an adult, and the name is Shen Jue. "
Shenque is the key point of ren meridian, which always leads people to a yin meridian, running in the middle of the chest and abdomen, connecting the heart and lungs, dredging the spleen and stomach, and dredging the kidney. Shenque is the confluence of meridians and qi and blood, and the center of human body intersection. The ancients always attached great importance to the navel, known as "the navel is the foundation of the internal organs and the vitality is the root of the dirty". The navel is the gateway to the internal organs, and the exterior is the gateway to cold and evil. It has the functions of distributing qi and blood around and all over the body, strengthening spleen and kidney, restoring yang and rescuing adverse flow, regulating stomach and intestines, promoting qi circulation and promoting diuresis, dispersing stagnation and regulating menstruation. This shows the importance of navel in human body.
