In the Chapter 56 of Plain Questions, it says,”Skin is the place where the meridians are distributed.

Under normal conditions, the system of the meridians and collaterals functions to transport qi and blood and regulate the balance between yin and yang of the whole body.

Transversely and longitudinally, they cross with each other in both the interior and exterior of the body. “Nutrient qi flows inside the meridians and defensive qi runs outside the meridians,”thus the interior and the exterior, the upper and lower portions and the left and right sides of th
