The Meridian and Collateral Diagram is one of the most important ÓñßÀs of Traditional Korean Medicine. A ÓñßÀ is a picture made on a two-dimensional surface using lines and colors to portray an object or an image. Meridian and Collateral diagram is a ÓñßÀ of the human body with indications of acupoints and meridian passageways and have different names such as ÌèúëÓñ, âÃúëÓñ, öÝ϶Óñ, Ù¥ÓÑÓñ, ÔÞìÑÓñ, in accordance with its classification. The documental basis of the Meridian and Collateral Diagram is the Internal Classic and the very first Meridian and Collateral Diagram confirmed through textual evidence can be found in Êçûó's "øÙÚÓí íÚëë". The Korean µ¿Àεµ in existence today, called 'ÔÞìÑÙ¥ÓÑñýÓñ', exists in two versions; a hand-copied version and a wooden engraving block version. It displays all the locations of the acupoints located on the anterior side of the human body, labels the names of the acupoints, and specifically distinguishes ÑÃã·úë and ðûòúë of the eight meridian vessels.
