The sixth and seventh prohibitions of the Great White Haoling Divine Prohibition correspond to the "major tendons" and the "skin and flesh membranes."
In cultivation methods, tendons are not merely physical tendons in the ordinary sense; rather, it is a vague and broad concept. As the saying goes, muscles, flesh, tendons, and membranes form a continuum—the tendon is that obscure part existing within the flesh, blood, and skin membranes, encompassing a portion of muscle ligaments, meridians, and blood vessels.
Overall, the tendons refer to the middle ground that connects "flesh, blood, bones, skin, and internal organs." As long as something transmits power and serves as a connecting hub, regardless of whether it is a blood vessel, flesh, ligament, or vein, it is considered a tendon.
