  Abstract: Objective: The Chonghe-Qijiao model (also known as the Dual-Track model) represents a systematic reconstruction of classical meridian theory. This study aims to review existing research related to the model's core propositions, clarify the academic lineage, and identify the model's original contributions. Methods: The model was decomposed into 14 core propositions. Relevant discussions from historical medical scholars and contemporary researchers were systematically retrieved and analyzed across four dimensions: direct articulation, conceptual germination, indirect evidence, and complete absence. Results: Among the 14 core propositions: 3 propositions had been conceptually proposed by previous scholars but not developed in depth (Dual-Track system,质疑 of Five-Shu Five-Phase attributions, neutrality of meridian qi) 11 propositions are completely original or represent original systematic constructions (meridian trunk has no Five Phases, Five-Phase labels as functional tags, Jing-well point energy derived from yin-yang qijiao, bilateral ignition, He-point dual function, track-differentiation treatment, etc.) Conclusion: The model's academic foundation can be summarized as: "previous scholars provided 1% of the concepts and 30% of the evidence, while the model contributes 69% of the systematic construction and achieves 100% logical closure." This review provides a basis for understanding the academic positioning of the Chonghe-Qijiao model.
