The spleen is located behind the rib arch of the left upper abdomen, adjacent to the gastro-splenic ligament, spleen-renal ligament, diaphragm and spleen-colon ligament.

Three functions of the spleen: the spleen governs the transport and transformation, the transport and transformation of water and liquid, and the subtlety of Shui Gu. The spleen can transform the food it eats into nutrients (Shui Gu subtle) and transport them to all parts of the body. The spleen can transfer the absorbed excess water to the lungs and kidneys in time, and convert it into sweat and urine for excretion.
Spleen governing ascending Qing: spleen transports essence to the head of heart and lung, and generates qi and blood to nourish the whole body. The function of clearing spleen is normal, so that the organs will not sag.
Spleen governs blood: Spleen governs blood by sucking blood from spleen. Ensure that blood flows in meridians without overflowing veins.
The digestive tract is a long muscle tube, starting from the mouth, continuing to the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and finally to the anal canal.
The stomach is in charge of reception. The stomach is the place of Shui Gu, which is called the sea of water valley. Food is chewed into fine particles in the mouth and then swallowed, and then enters the stomach through the esophagus.
The stomach governs corruption. After food enters the stomach, gastric juice is secreted to help mix and stir, and ground into semi-liquid chyme, which is convenient for digestion and absorption.
Spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of vitality. All life activities and viscera functions of the human body depend on the supply of qi and blood, and the spleen and stomach are the "roots of qi and blood yin and yang" and the source of qi and blood.
Qi and blood in the human body mainly come from two parts, one is congenital and comes from parents; The other part comes from acquired food nutrition, and the growth, development and health of the human body depend on this part of qi and blood. The key to transforming food into qi and blood lies in the transportation of spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are responsible for receiving and transforming Shui Gu's essence (nutrients), and then distributing and nourishing the whole body.
