Heart: the main blood, the main mind. Happiness lies in the mind, sweat in the liquid, pulse in the body, brilliance in the face, strangulation in the tongue. Keep your spirit in your heart. Lung: controlling qi, regulating breathing, promoting development and decline, regulating water channels, and treating pulses. Worry in the heart, cry in the liquid, skin in the body, hair in the hair, nose in the orifices. The lung hides the spirit. Spleen: the main transport, clearing up, regulating blood. Think in your head, drool in liquid, combine muscles in your body and dominate your limbs, in your mouth and in your lips. Spleen hides meaning. Liver: the main drain, the main storage of blood. Anger is in my heart, tears are in the liquid, tendons are in my body, and claws are in my eyes. The liver hides the soul. Kidney: governing essence, water and qi. Fear of the heart, saliva in the liquid, bone in the body, marrow in the main bone, flowers in the hair, ears and yin in the orifices, kidney in reproduction. Kidney storing ambition.
1, the heart governs the blood vessels, the mind, the joy in the heart, the sweat in the liquid, the pulse in the body, the brilliance in the face and the tongue; 2. The lung governs qi, breath, full pulse, declaration of descent, worrying about the heart, crying in liquid, and fitting the body and skin. Spleen governs the movement and transformation of blood, clearing blood, thinking about God, salivating in liquid, collecting in body muscles, opening in limbs, opening in lips, storing blood in liver, and being angry with God. Zang, tong "dirty", refers to the internal organs hidden inside; An elephant is a symbol or image. That is to say, although the internal organs exist in the body, they have signs of physiological and pathological changes. Therefore, the theory of zang-fu organs in traditional Chinese medicine is to study the law of zang-fu activities and their relationship by observing the external signs of human body.
Zang-fu organs and zang-fu organs are distinguished according to their different functions. Zang-fu organs, including heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney (five internal organs), mainly refer to some organs with rich internal tissues in the chest and abdomen, whose * * * same function is to store essence. Essence refers to an indispensable nutrient that can nourish viscera and maintain life activities. Fu organs include gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple energizer (six fu organs), which refer to some hollow organs in the chest and abdomen, and have the functions of digesting food, absorbing nutrition and excreting dregs. In addition, there are "odd and constant fu organs", which refer to a kind of organs with different physiological functions from ordinary fu organs, including brain, marrow, bone, pulse, daughter cells and so on. It should be pointed out that the zang-fu organs in traditional Chinese medicine not only refer to anatomical organs, but also summarize the physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body. Therefore, although the names of organs in modern medicine are mostly the same, their concepts and functions are not completely consistent and cannot be equated.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the organic whole of human beings is an extremely complex unity with the five internal organs as the core, with the five internal organs as the leading factor, the six internal organs as the coordination, and the body tissues and organs as the network connection, forming five systems. This is a part of the system theory of traditional Chinese medicine 1 Heart and lung: the heart governs blood and the lung governs qi. The maintenance of functional activities of human organs and tissues depends on the circulation of qi and blood to transport nutrients. Although the normal operation of blood is dominated by the heart, it must be driven by lung qi, and the ancestral qi accumulated in the lung must be injected into the heart pulse to reach the whole body smoothly.
2. Heart and liver: The heart is the driving force of blood circulation, and the liver is an important organ for storing blood. Therefore, the liver has sufficient blood storage, which can not only nourish the tendons and veins, but also promote the normal activities of human limbs and bones. If liver blood deficiency is due to lack of heart blood, blood can not nourish tendons, and symptoms such as muscle and bone pain, hand and foot contracture and convulsion appear. Another example is that liver depression turns into fire, which can disturb the heart and cause anxiety and insomnia.
3. Heart and spleen: Spleen is subtle and needs the help of blood to be transported to the whole body. And this painstaking effort must rely on the subtle energy of Shui Gu absorbed and transferred by the spleen. On the other hand, the heart governs blood, the spleen governs blood, and the function of the spleen is normal to control blood. If the temper is weak, it will lead to blood not following menstruation.
4. Heart and kidney: Heart and kidney interact and restrict each other to maintain the relative balance of physiological functions. In the physiological state, the heart yang drops, the land yin rises, and the upper and lower parts intersect, and the combination of yin and yang is called "the intersection of heart and kidney". Under pathological conditions, deficiency of kidney yin can not help the heart, and it will lead to hyperactivity of heart yang, which is called "disharmony between heart and kidney".
5. Liver and spleen: the liver stores blood, and the spleen governs the transport and transformation of Shui Gu's subtle blood. If spleen deficiency affects hematopoiesis, it may lead to liver blood deficiency and dizziness. The liver likes overstretching and hates depression. If the liver qi stagnates and crosses the spleen, abdominal pain and diarrhea will occur.
6. Liver and lung: the meridians of the liver penetrate fat and inject into the lungs. There is a certain connection between them. The rising of liver qi and the falling of lung qi are related to the ascending and descending operation of human qi. If liver qi goes up and lung qi goes down, chest tightness and shortness of breath can be seen. Liver-fire invading the lungs can also be seen in chest pain, hemoptysis or blood in sputum.
7. Liver and kidney: kidney stores essence, liver stores blood, liver blood needs kidney essence to nourish, and kidney essence needs liver vegetables to be continuously supplemented. The two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Deficiency of kidney essence can lead to liver blood deficiency. On the contrary, liver blood deficiency will affect the generation of kidney essence. Deficiency of kidney yin and liver dystrophy can lead to deficiency of liver yin, leading to hyperactivity of liver yang or hyperactivity of liver wind, such as dizziness, tinnitus, tremor, numbness and convulsion.
8. Lung and Spleen: Spleen transports Shui Gu's essence to the lung and combines it with the essence inhaled by the lung, thus forming total qi (also called lung qi). The strength of lung qi is related to the subtle movements of the spleen, so the spleen is full of qi. When spleen deficiency affects the lungs, symptoms such as eating less, being lazy, prevaricating and coughing can be seen. Clinically, the method of "invigorating spleen and benefiting lung" is often used. Another example is chronic cough, thin and white sputum, easy to cough up, fatigue, and eating less. Although the disease is in the lungs, the disease is in the spleen. We must use the method of "invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm" to achieve the effect. The so-called "lung is the storage of phlegm and spleen is the source of phlegm" reflects the relationship between spleen and lung.
Spleen and kidney: Spleen-yang relies on the warm nourishment of kidney-yang to play its transport and transformation role. Yang Can due to kidney deficiency makes the spleen yang weak and abnormal in transport, which will lead to morning diarrhea and indigestion. On the other hand, if the spleen is yang-deficient, it will also lead to kidney yang deficiency, cold vines in the waist and knees, edema and so on.
10. Lung and kidney: the lung dominates the descending, the water channel is opened, and the water flows downstream to the kidney. Kidney governs body fluid, which evaporates from kidney yang, so that the body fluid in the middle is clear and reaches the lung, and the function of body fluid metabolism is completed by the transport of spleen yang. Dysfunction of lung, spleen and kidney, and dysfunction of an organ will cause water retention and edema. Lung governs breathing, and kidney governs qi intake. Both viscera have the function of maintaining the ascending and descending of human qi.
