The lung is at the head of the five internal organs, with leaves, two on the left and three on the right. The five on the * * * are the canopies of the five internal organs, while the yang in the sky is clear, and it enters the body through the breath of our lungs and communicates with our lungs. It means throat, and the local gas usually refers to the gas of grains. We eat the rustic flavor of grains through diet and enter the body from the throat.
The relationship between man and nature, the clear air in heaven enters the lungs. Clear air in the sky is inhaled into the lungs through the nose, throat and trachea, and exchanged with turbid air in the body in the lungs; At the same time, the inhaled clear gas is combined with Shui Gu's essence in the body to generate ancestral gas, which accumulates in the chest and is the driving force of respiratory movement and blood circulation. Because the fresh air from the outside is inhaled into the lungs, the lungs feel the symptoms of six evils and epidemic diseases, and form a variety of exogenous diseases in the early stage.
The throat is the road to Shui Gu. The throat is at the back, leading to the six internal organs. The throat is the way of Shui Gu, and the earth's qi is cloudy and turbid, which communicates with the throat. Through the sharing of the previous content, we all remember that liver belongs to wood, as we analyzed earlier, wind-borne wood, wood produces acid, and acid produces liver. The wind is in the sky, the wood is on the ground, and the liver is in the dirty.
The fact that the lungs control breathing means that the lungs are places for gas exchange. For example, "Su Wenyin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" said: "The weather is connected with the lungs." Through the respiratory function of the lungs, clean air is continuously inhaled, turbid air is discharged, and innovation is brought forth, thus realizing the gas exchange between the body and the external environment and maintaining the life activities of the human body.
Traditional Chinese medicine application:
In fact, the function of lung controlling breathing is the concrete manifestation of lung qi function in the process of gas exchange: lung qi announces and turbid qi exhales; When lung qi drops, clear qi can be inhaled. If the spread and decline of lung qi are coordinated and orderly, breathing will be even and unobstructed. There are clinical manifestations of abnormal breathing when lung qi does not rise or lung qi does not fall, but the clinical manifestations are different.
The lung governs the generation of qi in the whole body, which is reflected in the generation of clan qi. Qi in one body is mainly composed of innate qi and acquired qi. Zongqi belongs to acquired qi, which is produced by the combination of natural clear qi inhaled by lung and grain qi produced by spleen and stomach transporting Shui Gu essence. Zongqi is produced in the lungs, accumulated in the "sea of qi" in the chest, ascending in the throat and promoting the breathing of the lungs.
