摘　　要：In the long history of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),meridians play essential roles as the critical network to regulate the normal physiological functions of the human body.They are regarded to be the channels connecting the internal organs with the body surface and various parts of the body.Although there are many studies and doctrines trying to reveal the nature of meridians for their validation in TCM,the mechanism underlying the meridians remains unclear.Herein,based on our macroscopic quantum state concept of ion channels(i.e.,sub-nanometer scale channels),we propose a quantum principle of meridians.The acupoints and organ symptom are in a macroscopic coherence state of the ion channels in meridians.By applying TCM treatments(e.g.,TCM massage,acupuncture,moxibustion,and electroacupuncture)on the acupoint,the corresponding organ symptom could be well regulated with help of quantum meridian state.
