The stomach governs the limbs and the lungs govern the fur.
Zangxiang theory is the core content of the theoretical system of Huangdi Neijing and the most basic part of traditional Chinese medicine. In short, the main content of Zangxiang theory is the discussion of zang-fu organs. Liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney are the five internal organs, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and bladder, and triple energizer is the six internal organs. The theory of Tibetan images centers on the five internal organs, connecting the body, five senses and nine orifices, forming five systems of human life activities.
The heart is the master of human activities and occupies the primary position in the zang-fu organs, so it is the monarch.
The main physiological function of the heart is to control blood vessels, make blood flow around veins and nourish the whole body. If the heart qi is insufficient, the blood flow is not smooth or the blood vessels are empty, it will lead to pathological phenomena such as palpitation.
The lung is the prime minister, and its physiological function is to control the breathing of qi. Under normal physiological conditions, the fluctuation of lung qi makes the airway of the whole body unobstructed, and the gas inside and outside the body can be exchanged, which plays a regulatory role in the operation and excretion of water and fluid in the body. If there is something wrong with the function of the lung, it is not only the pathological changes of the lung itself, but also the symptoms of phlegm and edema.
The liver is a general, and its main function is to excrete and store blood. The liver is a powerful and impatient general with the characteristics of ascending and initiative. Regulate qi, promote spleen and stomach transport, and regulate emotions. When its function is normal, it is an important guarantee for the spleen and stomach to operate. If there is something wrong with the liver function, there will be chest ribs, breasts, abdominal distension, pain and discomfort, headache, depression or irritability.
Spleen is the official and logistics minister of Cang. It is responsible for transporting, clearing and controlling blood. Spleen function is normal, human digestion and absorption function is sound, and human health is good. If the spleen function declines, it will cause diarrhea or dry stool, loss of appetite, fatigue and emaciation.
The kidney is a powerful official, and the kidney is in charge of storing essence and controlling body fluid. Essence is the basic substance that constitutes the human body. "Essence is also the foundation of life." The rise and fall of kidney essence plays a decisive role in human growth and reproductive function. At the same time, essence nourishes and moistens all kinds of viscera and tissues. Once the renal function is out of balance, there will be kidney deficiency, such as irritability, night sweats, dizziness, tinnitus, backache and knee weakness.
The stomach is the sea of water valley and the source of five internal organs.
If all diseases are ineffective, you can consider treating your stomach.
Deficiency of spleen and stomach leads to ignorance.
Five flavors into the stomach, each has its own fun. Therefore, acid enters the liver first, bitter enters the heart first, sweet enters the spleen first, pungent enters the lung first, salty enters the kidney first, and long-term qi supplement often materializes.
According to the relationship between the five elements, we can know that "too salty and sad, too bitter and hurt the liver, too sour and hurt the spleen, too sweet and hurt the kidney, too bitter and hurt the lungs". Therefore, there are five prohibitions in Huangdi Neijing: bitter liver disease, salty heart disease, sour spleen disease, bitter lung disease and sweet kidney disease.
Heart hates heat, lung hates cold, liver hates wind, spleen hates dampness and kidney hates dryness.
Zangxiang is the function of the five internal organs.
Although the five zang-organs are deeply hidden in the body, the ups and downs of their functions can be reflected on the body surface through meridians and corresponding body surface organs. By observing these external symptoms, we can understand the functions of the five zang-organs
The heart began to understand the tongue, so "the tongue is the official of the heart."
The liver begins to understand the eye, so "the eye is the official of the liver."
The spleen opens its mouth, so "the lip is the official of the spleen."
The lungs began to understand the nose, so "the nose is the official of the lungs."
The kidney knows the ear, so "the ear is the official of the kidney."
