经络对于人体来说，有平衡阴阳、营养全身的能力，所以经络学在中医里拥有至高的地位。专家提示，只要我们平时能经常想着它，就不必在病时抱佛脚了。

Meridians and collaterals have the ability to balance yin and Yang and nourish the whole body, so meridians and collaterals have a supreme position in traditional Chinese medicine. Experts suggest that as long as we often think about it, we don't have to crave for illness.

经络的重要性

Importance of meridians

有人称之，经络在人体像个互联网。经脉深藏在人体内，把持着各个脏腑的家政大权;络脉是经脉上的细小分支，彼此通联直达体表，虽然看不见摸不着，但俨然像个庞大的互联网。穴位是网上的一个个站点，气血是通行在各站的机车，永远高挂“免停”牌，一旦停了，只能由医生来兼任网管了。

Some people say that meridians are like an Internet in the human body. The meridians are hidden deep in the human body, holding the power of the various internal organs of the household; the meridians are small branches of the meridians, connected directly to the surface of the body, although invisible, but like a huge Internet. Acupoint is a site on the Internet, Qi and blood is the locomotive passing through the stations, always hanging the "stop-free" card, once stopped, can only be part-time by the doctor network management.

提示：中医认为，血是运送营养物质的基础，气是营养物质产生的动力，而经络行使的是运送气血的职能，只有贯通全身，才能濡养所有器官和组织。如果气血分配不均，就要纠正局部偏盛或偏衰；一旦脏腑染病，所属的经络穴位会发生相应改变，从而在人体体表上有所反应。

It is suggested that blood is the basis of transporting nutrients, Qi is the power of producing nutrients, and meridians and collaterals perform the function of transporting Qi and blood. Only through the whole body can all organs and tissues be nourished. If the distribution of Qi and blood is uneven, it is necessary to correct local excessive or partial decay; once the viscera is infected, the meridians and acupoints that belong to them will change correspondingly, thus reacting on the surface of the human body.
