Construction and Scientific Exploration of the Belt Channel Network Hypothesis:A Modern Interpretation of the Functions of Girdling and Regulation of Qi Movement of Belt Channel
Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and modern scientific research, and in accordance with the core functions of the Belt Channel in girdling and regulation of
qi
movement, a preliminary framework of the Belt Channel network hypothesis is constructed. It is proposed that the Belt Channel network consists of three synergistic subsystems, fascial biomechanics, neural conduction, and endocrine metabolism. Structurally, it is based on a "biomechanical ring" formed by the transversalis fascia and the core muscle group. Functionally, it integrates signals through the lumbosacral plexus and the autonomic nervous system, and is capable of regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axis and immune homeostasis. Compared with other longitudinal meridians, the uniqueness of the Belt Channel network lies in its dual regulatory effects in coordinating somatic and visceral girdling and in maintaining systemic homeostasis. By integrat
ing the traditional theory of the Belt Channel
with mechanisms identified in modern research, this study provides new insights into the modern interpretation of the Belt Channel
functions in girdling and regulation of
qi
movement, as well as the expansion of its clinical applications.
