This then, seemed a perfect 'discovery' with which to juxtapose a much older concept, also based on observation, hypothesis and reckoning; the 'phenomenal' channel of information known as the: 'Chinese Clock'. (taken from 'Japanese Acupuncture - A Clinical Guide' by Stephen Birch and Junko Ida. Paradigm Press, 1998) "Ling Shu 15 and Nan Jing 1 describe the continuous circulation of qi in these channels. Starting at CV-12, the qi passes through the channels starting at the lung, then passing through the channels of the large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, kidney, triple burner, gall bladder, liver, and back to CV-12. The circuit also exhibits the following biorhythm, where each channel has an ebb and flow, peaking in two hour period, and ebbing in the opposite two hour period."
