The theories of Shushu in the literature of Qin and Han periods are reorganized and expositions of foreigner scholars about ancient way of thought are consulted, and compared with the recordation about the ebb-flow of ying-qi and the length of meridians in ancient medical books to probe into the relationship between Shushu and these recordation. It is found that the ebb-flow of ying-qi and the length of meridians are completely conform with the principle of Shushu, i. e. the ebb-flow degrees of ying-qi and the length of meridians all are deduced from Shushu for building the close inseparable response relation between nature and humans. Because Shushu can not be verified, modern scientific methods are not suitable to the study on the ebb-flow of ying-qi.
整理秦汉文献中的数术理论，参考国外学者对古代思维方式的论述，并与古代医书中关于营气的循行和经脉长度的记载相比较，以探讨数术与这些记载之间的关系。研究发现，营气的循行和经脉长度与数术的原理完全相符，即营气的循行度数和经脉长度均从数术推导而来，以此建立人与自然之间紧密不可分割的对应关系。由于数术无法验证，现代科学方法不适用于对营气循行的研究。
