What is the meaning of Chize
ChiZe:Chi,the Unit of length,refers to small,Ze, pool.The name of Chize point means the small pool build by the rain from LU 4 point(Xiabai). Why does the rain only build small pool instead of large? This is because the different meridians of the body belong to different directions and regions. The lungs should be autumn, which belongs to the west. After the long summer,the land is dry (the muscles of the spleen are drier than other). Most of the rain from Xiabai point is absorbed by the spleen soil, so it only build a small pool,Hence the name.
