Su Wen Wei Lun said: "the twelve meridians, 365 collaterals, his qi and blood are all superficial and empty." Traditional Chinese medicine also classifies different parts of the face as five internal organs, namely, the left cheek belongs to the liver, the right cheek belongs to the lung, the head and forehead belong to the heart, the chin belongs to the kidney, and the nose belongs to the spleen. It can be seen that the relationship between face and viscera and meridians is very close, especially the relationship between heart and face.
