We could summerize the concept of the right and left mentioned in Nai-Gyung and some literature of oriental medicine as follow At first the right and left is a directional right and left which implys left-liver-right-lung(ñ§ÊÜéÓøË), left-yang-right-eum(ñ§åÕéÓëä), secondly it is also the road of eumyang which implys man-left-woman-right(Ñûñ§åüéÓ), left-blood-right-ki(ñ§úìéÓѨ), left-sinsu-right-myungmon(ñ§ãìâ©éÓÙ¤Ú¦), and left-right of pulse. left-liver-right-lung(ñ§ÊÜéÓøË), left-yang-right-eum(ñ§åÕéÓëä) and man-left-woman-right(Ñûñ§åüéÓ) are expressions of the movement of yang which is a core of chang, at the same time, left-blood-right-ki(ñ§úìéÓѨ), left-sinsu-right-myungmon(ñ§ãìâ©éÓÙ¤Ú¦), and left-right of pulse are expressions of the eum in response to the movement of yang. (go up and down of water and fire) Finally, both a directional right and left and a road of eumyang mean a road of going up and down of eumyang so, this is very important index in circulation and keeping ballance of eumyang (ki-Hyul:Ѩúì) in the human body therefore, we can treat a disease with acupuncture in the use of this charater, for example when a disease occurs in the left side, we can treat it with acupuncture in the right side, the same applys to right.
