Meridian

Their discovery dates back to the physician Hua Tuo.

*A different but related hanzi 脉 is also translated as 'meridian' and is used in the terms Meridian Opening and Meridian Opening Spirit Cliff Fruit.
* 脉 meaning vein, is also used to translate the term nadi, which are the channels through which energy (such as prana) flows through the body. It is also used in the term 脉轮 meaning chakra, referring to various points throughout the body. See Nine Star Hegemon Body Art for an example diagram of focal points.
