According to the theory of five elements, he corresponds various organs and physiological functions in the human body to the five elements, among which the spleen belongs to the soil and is mainly used for transportation and irrigation.
As an important theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of five elements divides the human body into five five internal organs, namely liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, and the five elements corresponding to the five internal organs, namely wood, fire, earth, gold and water. Among them, the spleen belongs to the earth and transports everything. Its main function is to digest and absorb food, transform it into qi, blood and body fluid, and nourish the whole body.
Zhang Jingyue mentioned in The Analects that the spleen is dirty soil, so all the five internal organs have temper, and the spleen governs the whole body. He emphasized the importance and function of the spleen, which not only has the function of transporting Shui Gu, but also transports subtle substances to all parts of the body and nourishes the five internal organs, so it is called "filling all directions".
Zhang Jingyue also emphasized the importance of the Five Elements Health-keeping Method, arguing that keeping healthy requires balancing and coordinating the Five Elements. He proposed that the five zang-organs are the main living organs, and all the five zang-organs have five elements of qi. Therefore, health care needs to pay attention to the balance of the five internal organs and reconcile the five elements.
