It is my understanding that no one talked about entering channels of herbs till around 1000 AD, long after the SHL was written. If it appears that zhang zhong jing was using principles of entering channels in his formulas, this is probably coincidence. these attributions were made after the fact. from our modern hindsight, this appears to be the case, but who knows what he was actually thinking. For all we know, he was an empiricist, pure and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
