We came to the conclusion after considering all the information from many kinds of books on the circulation courses, cross-link points, functions and the symptoms of disease of Cho￣ngma｀i.
The results were as follows :
1. The Cho￣ngma｀i that starts from a Uterus flows to Da｀zhu｀ through the inside of vertebra after joining Re｀nma｀i and Du￣ima｀i at Hui｀yi￣n. The Cho￣ngma｀i´s up-line that comes out from Qi｀cho￣ng into a surface of body arrives and is scattered at a chest through an abdomen. One strand of them goes upward again and is connected to a throat and lips area. After coming out from Qi｀cho￣ng, separated down-line is divided into two parts when it arrives a inner part of a heel through the inner part of a leg. One is for an instep, the other is for the sole of a foot.
2. We call it "Sea of Twelve Meridians" or "Meridian´s Sea". Because Cho￣ngma｀i controls all of Meridian by acquired "Basic energy" as getting Stomach´s energy, Kidney´s energy and air-energy, and there are responsible of physiological phenomenon control. And also we name it "Sea of Blood", because it starts from and provides a nutrition to Uterus.
3. All of these four Meridian such as Re｀nma｀i, Kidney Meridian, Stomach Meridian and Spleen Meridian are ones that flow around the part of a chest and an abdomen. Cho￣ngma｀i makes energy and blood circulation of a chest and an abdomen be stronger and be controlled. Therefore it makes viscera, bowels and body surface be warm and given a nutrition. So Cho￣ngma｀i becomes "Sea of Viscera and Bowels".
4. Cho￣ngma｀i provides a nutrition for ligament and muscle and makes legs get warm as making energy and blood circulate from head to foot. If Cho￣ngma｀i is energetic, hair is completely easy to grow.
5. To see in pathological phase, Cho￣ngma｀i´s failure or weakness causes like a chest pain, stomachache, heart attack, a menstrual irregularity and sterility and so on. And also if Cho￣ngma｀i is damaged, it happens that giving a nutrition for lips area is stopped, and then mustache doesn´t grow any more.
