ABSTRACT
The article made a study on the earliest literature and the initial time of the "Five Orbiculi" theory in TCM. By analyzing the masons for different locations of "Five Orbiculi" recorded in ancient TCM books, the author argued against that the term of "Five Orbiculi" originated from ancient India and the "Five Orbiculi" theory was a product with the combination of traditioinal Chinese and Indian cultures. The author further put forward that the "Five Orbiculi" theory most probably was a Chinese traditional medical innovation under the influence of Internal Classic of Medicine, a great development to the theory recorded in Miraculous Pivot On Serious Confusion.
