One can often observe such diagrams. In this case it is possible to say that there arose a pair of "wonderful" meridians.

One meridian proves to be in Excess, the other in deficiency. It we compare two trigrams which a pair of wonderful meridians is submitted to, for instance, IV pair.

It is obvious that these both trigrams are the results of one digram's development

and they differ only in opposite top lines. However we should interpret these lines from the point of view of mathematics they show the opposite state of "wonderful" meridians which form a pair.

 From trigram level the system of organs turns into the previous level of development Tai Chi (the Great Limit).

There are four energy seas (the energy Sea, the Sea of Blood, the Digestion Sea, The Bone Marrow Sea) in theory and practice of China medicine. In the west acupuncture they are usually correlated to four types of temperament.

One should assume, that if a pair of "wonderful" meridians with the same meaning appears in the pulsegram these meridians form a new system. This is called "A sea" in China medicine and is presented by means of a diagram on the basis of correspondence of organs to definite phenomena and textures:

4). Kidney R checks bone marrow.

The authors should like to suggest the following scheme of four seas in the Fu-Xi Order:
