Huokejin comes from the principle that the five elements are mutually generated and mutually restrained. The ancient Han people believed that there was a mutually restrictive and mutually exclusive relationship among five substances, namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, to illustrate the physiological phenomenon of mutual restraint among zang-fu organs. The order is Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke water, water, fire and gold.

Encyclopedia explanation
Huokejin is a five-element relationship, which is used by Chinese medicine to explain the relationship between heart and lung. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the theory of five elements to compare images and match the five elements with the five internal organs. Heart belongs to fire, lung belongs to gold. In the normal physiological process of human body, Huokejin shows the restrictive relationship between heart and lung, which is mainly reflected in the relationship between qi and blood.
Heart governs blood vessels, and lung governs qi.
Heart is monarch blood, which is divided into two aspects: main blood and main pulse. Main blood mainly plays an important role in the generation and operation of blood, and main pulse means that all meridians in the whole body are dominated by the heart.
The formation of blood needs the mixture of Shui Gu's subtle qi and nature's light qi, which "turns the heart red" in the heart, so the heart and lungs play a synergistic role in the formation of blood.
If the function of the heart governing blood vessels is normal, the respiratory movement of the lungs will be normal. If the heart yang is insufficient and the blood circulation is not smooth, the respiratory function of the lungs will be affected, and symptoms such as cough and chest tightness will appear.
The lung pulse is full, the whole body blood passes through the lung, and the turbid qi is exchanged in the lung, which is not only conducive to the generation of clan qi, but also helpful to the operation of heart blood.
The heart is yang and the lungs are yin.
The heart and lung are in the chest, the heart is the yang in the yang, and the lung is the yin in the yang. Lung qi is mainly restrained by cooling, and heart qi is mainly promoted by warming.
Heart Yang Can warms lung qi, making lung qi not cold. Lung qi mainly descends, if it only descends but does not ascend, it will affect the movement of promoting qi, while heart yang mainly ascends, which can prevent excessive sedimentation of lung qi.
life experience
People with normal heart function have more normal breathing movements. If the heart yang or heart qi is insufficient, the blood circulation will be blocked, the function of the lung to the pulse will be affected, and the normal exchange of blood in the lung will increase the load on the lung, resulting in cough, chest tightness and even hemoptysis. If the patients with clinical heart failure are not treated in time and effectively, there will be congestion in the lungs, leading to abnormal respiratory function. Therefore, the primary heart disease should be actively treated, and the pulmonary symptoms will improve quickly.
If the lung has pathological changes, its function of promoting depression is limited, which will affect the blood circulation function of the heart, so this situation also needs to be treated with both heart and lung.
