Extended data

The five internal organs, namely heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, are collectively called. In the meridian theory, the heart envelope is also regarded as dirty, so it is also called six dirty. The physiological characteristics of the five internal organs are metaplasia and storage of essence, and can hide the spirit, so it is called "Shen Zang". Although the functions of the five internal organs have their own divisions, they are coordinated with each other, and * * * is the same as the life-sustaining process. The physiological activities of the five zang-organs are closely related to the changes of natural environment and mental and emotional factors.

The heart is one of the five internal organs, located in the chest, between the two lungs, above the diaphragm, and protected by pericardium. It is round and pointed down, like an unopened lotus.

The main physiological function of the heart is to control the blood vessels and store the gods. Because the heart's main blood vessels and functions of storing gods dominate the whole life activities of the human body, it is satisfied as "the official of the monarch", "the foundation of life" and "the great master of the internal organs". The physiological characteristic of the heart is that it is bright for the yang.

The heart is combined with the pulse in the body, its brilliance is in the face, its orifices are the tongue, its ambition is joy, and its fluid is sweat. The heart meridian of hand shaoyin and the small intestine meridian of hand taiyang belong to the heart and small intestine, which are exterior and interior. The heart belongs to fire in the five elements, and it is the yang in the yang, which corresponds to the summer air in nature.

The lungs are located in the chest, one on the left and one on the right, covering the heart. The lungs are lobulated, two on the left and three on the right, and five on the * * *. The lung is connected with the throat and nose through the lung system (trachea, bronchus, etc.), so the throat is called the portal of the lung and the nose is the orifice outside the lung.

The main physiological function of the lung is to control qi to breathe, to move water, to feel the pulse, and to attend the festival. The basic operation form of lung qi is to declare the origin and descend to the depression. The lung occupies the highest position among the five internal organs, covering all the viscera, so it is called "Hua Gai". The lungs are delicate and not resistant to the invasion of cold, heat, dryness and dampness; The lung is connected with the nose and the fur, which is closely related to nature and vulnerable to external evils, so it is called "delicate and dirty".

The lung is combined with skin in the body, its flower is in the hair, its orifices are in the nose, its ambition is in sorrow (worry), and its fluid is in tears. Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian belong to the lung and large intestine, which are exterior and interior. The lung belongs to gold in the five elements, and it is the yin in the yang, which corresponds to the autumn atmosphere in nature.

The spleen is located in the middle jiao, below the diaphragm and to the left of the stomach. Su Wen Taiyin Yangming Lun says: "Spleen and stomach are connected by membrane".

The main physiological function of spleen is to transport and control blood. The spleen and stomach live together in the middle energizer, which is the main organ for the human body to digest, absorb and distribute the subtle food. After a person is born, the continuation of life activities and the metaplasia and enrichment of essence, qi, blood and body fluid all depend on the subtlety of the spleen and stomach, so it is called "the foundation of the day after tomorrow". The movement characteristic of temper is the main elevation. Spleen is too damp soil, and it is also the main transport of water and liquid, so it likes dryness and hates dampness.

Spleen combines muscles in the body and dominates the limbs, while the orifices are the mouth, which is in the lips, thinking in the mind and saliva in the liquid. The spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin and the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming belong to the spleen and stomach, and they are exterior and interior. Spleen belongs to the soil in the five elements, which is the most yin of the yin, and corresponds to the qi of long summer, flourishing at four o'clock.

The liver is located in the abdominal cavity, under the diaphragm and inside the right flank.

The main physiological function of the liver is to drain and store blood. There is a saying in Clinical Guide to Medical Records and Liver Wind that the liver uses Yang instead of Yin. The physiological characteristics of the liver are that it is active in ascending the body, and it is fond of reaching the goal while being depressed, so it is called "just dirty". "On the Secret Code of Su Wen Ling Lan" said: "The liver, the officer of the general, makes a plan."

The liver is combined with tendons in the body, and its brilliance is in the claws, its purpose is in the orifices, its ambition is in anger, and its fluid is in tears. The gallbladder is attached to the liver, and the liver meridian of Foot Jueyin and the gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang belong to the liver and gallbladder, which are exterior and interior. The liver belongs to the wood in the five elements, is the yang in the yin, and corresponds to the natural spring.

The kidneys are located on both sides of the lumbar spine, one on the left and one on the right. "Su Wen pulse to subtle theory" said: "waist, kidney house."

The main physiological functions of kidney are: holding essence, holding water and holding qi. Kidney is called "the innate essence" because it stores the innate essence, controls reproduction and is the origin of human life. Kidney is refined into kidney qi, which is divided into yin and yang. Kidney yin and kidney yang can support, promote and coordinate the yin and yang of the whole body, so kidney is also called "the foundation of yin and yang of the five internal organs". Kidney stores essence, which leads to stinging, and is also called the essence of sealing.

The kidney combines bones in the body, produces marrow, and opens the brain. Its exuberance is in the hair, its orifices are ears and two yin, its ambition is fear, and its fluid is saliva. Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin and Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang are collateral to kidney and bladder, which are exterior and interior. The kidney belongs to water in the five elements, which is the yin in the yin, and corresponds to the winter qi in nature.
