The significance is that it introduces a new functional system in human body and develops new field of scientific research; and it annotate biological foundation and therapeutic mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which provides medical biological foundation for modern channel research of traditional Chinese medicine; it proposes a suggestion for development strategy of traditional Chinese medicine.
