Objective: With the fractal theory, the running routes of external meridians are studied and meridian phenomenon is described; Methods: According to acupoint distribution of heart meridian in the existing national standard meridian-collateral diagram, with Visual C++ 6.0 software debugging program, a simulation is run. Results: The fractal images of meridians are drawn and verified by Matlab. Conclusion: The meridian is the overall thinking system of ancient people to know physiological and pathological rules of human body. The digital meridian will produce more concise rules, describe details of meridians which the ancients have never depicted, and guide the future meridian research.%目的:使用分形理论研究经络的体表循行描述经络现象;方法:根据现行国家标准经络图中手少阴心经的穴位分布数据,使用Visual C++ 6.0软件调试程序进行模拟;结果:绘制出经络的分形构型图像并经Matlab校验;结论:经络是古人认识人体生理病理规律的整体思维体系,数字化经络将从中提炼出更简洁的规律,描绘古人未曾刻画的经络细节,指导未来的经络研究.
