How it's used
Refers specifically to systemic circulation in a medical or health context. It is frequently used when discussing overall body health, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine or general wellness advice. While it sounds technical, it is commonly understood by laypeople in Hong Kong.
Examples
The doctor said my blood circulation is very poor.
Exercising can promote blood circulation.
Related words
Common phrases
promote systemic circulation
poor systemic circulation
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general circulation or blood flow, which are often referred to more simply as 血氣 or 血液循環. Using 大循環 in casual conversation about everyday blood flow might sound overly clinical or like you are reading from a medical textbook.
