[Probing into origination of the Governor Vessel from recording of Taisu].
Based on the recording of the Governor Vessel in Taisu (Commentary on Huang di's Internal Classic), deeply analyze and probe cognition and feature of the Governor Vessel in Taisu, and compare with other related literatures in Huangdi's Internal Classic and Classic on 81 Medical Problems, discovering that cognition of the Governor Vessel in Taisu is more early than the theory of the Governor Vessel handed down from ancient times, infer that the Governor Vessel recorded in Taisu possibly is early model of the theory of the Governor Vessel handed down from ancient times. Further studies discover that cognition of the Governor Vessel in Taisu is related with clinical practice of "spinal cord method", which possibly is clinical basis of origination of the Governor Vessel.
