Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi All & Hi Shinjiro, Shinjiro Kanazawa <kanazawa wrote: > Does someone know what " Du (or dou: Chinese character means > 'metropolis') Mai " or " Du (Chinese character means 'metropolis') > Qi " is? Shinjiro Kanazawa, L.Ac. I am no expert on Chinese, but I presume that Du Mai or Du refers to the dorsal modline Vessel, Governing Vessel, and that Dumai Qi or Duqi refers to the Qi stored in that reservoir. I have read that the Eight Mai (Ren, Du, Chong, Dai, Yinqiao, Yangqiao, Yinwei and Yangwei), or Extraordinary Vessels, have no Qi-Xue circulation per se, but act as Reservoirs for Qi-Xue that circulates in the 12 Main Channels.
