Attachment: Classification of the Five Elements of Human Beings

The Zang Fu theory is centered around the five zang organs, combined with the six zang organs, connecting the five bodies, five senses and nine orifices (eyes, tongue, mouth, nose, ear, anterior yin, posterior yin), and five senses, forming a "five zang organ system" as a whole. Essence, qi, blood, and body fluid are the basic substances that make up the human body and are also the material basis for the functional activities of the organs.

Five organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Six organs: gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple energizer.

Qi Heng's organs: brain, marrow, bone, pulse, gallbladder, and female bag.

Five viscera

1. Heart: The heart is the official of the monarch and the ruler of the gods. The heart governs the blood vessels, and its beauty lies in the face. Enlighten the tongue. If the heart is harmonious, the tongue can understand the five flavors.

The pericardium, also known as the pericardium, is a layer of membrane that surrounds the periphery of the heart, with distinct veins distributed on the membrane. Guard the heart and transmit the commands of the heart master.

2. Liver: The liver stores blood. Master catharsis, regulate mental emotions, and promote digestion and absorption. The liver governs the tendons, and its glory lies in the claws. Open your mind to the eye. If the liver qi is connected to the eyes and the liver is in harmony, the eyes can distinguish the five colors.

3. Spleen: responsible for transportation and circulation, regulating blood, muscles, and limbs. The opening is in the mouth, and its beauty is in the lips.

4. Lungs: governing qi, regulating breathing, promoting hair, and covering the skin and hair externally. Main suppression and lowering, regulating water channels. If the opening is in the nose and lungs, then the nose can sense the odor and fragrance. Related to throat and voice. (Jin Shi does not sound, Jin Po does not sound).

5. Kidney: stores essence and qi, regulates reproduction and development. Nourishing and warming various organs and tissues. Main water. Primarily accepting qi. Dominating the bone, generating marrow, and filling the brain, its brilliance lies in the hair. Enlightening the ear and regulating the two yin.

Mingmen: The location is between one inch and five centimeters each in the kidneys (far behind the navel, above the spine). The gate of life is the kidney yang. Without this, the kidney cannot become strong, but the skills cannot be developed. Without this, the bladder cannot transform the qi of the three jiao, but the waterways cannot be developed. Without this, the spleen and stomach cannot evaporate water and grain, but the five flavors cannot be developed. Without this, the liver and gallbladder cannot make decisions and plan. Without this, the large and small intestines cannot change, but the two are closed. Without this, the mind is dizzy, and everything cannot be responded to.

Six Organs

6. Gall: Attached to the liver, connected to the liver, and working together with the liver to relieve stress. The gallbladder stores' semen '(bile). Due to the purity of bile, it is also known as the "viscera of the essence". In clinical practice, symptoms such as palpitations, timidity, insomnia, and excessive dreaming are often treated by the gallbladder.

7. Stomach: Located under the diaphragm, connected to the esophagus above and the small intestine below. It is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. The upper mouth is the cardia, known as the epigastrium; The lower mouth is called the pylorus and is called the lower cavity: between the upper and lower cavities, it is called the middle cavity. The main function is to receive and ripen water grains.

8Five viscera

7. Large intestine: The upper end is connected to the small intestine, and the exchange point is called the appendix; The lower end is the anus. The physiological function is to pass down the waste residue.

8. Bladder: Located in the lower abdomen, it receives water injected from the kidneys and the triple energizer, and has the function of storing and excreting urine.

9. Triple focal point: The general term for upper, middle, and lower triple focal points. Because it is not a specific organ, but a summary of the upper, middle, and lower parts of the human chest and abdomen, as well as the internal organs they are located in, it is also known as the "solitary organ" or "external organ". The main function is to run water and liquid, apply the original qi, preside over various qi, and promote the functional activities of the viscera by regulating the gasification of the human body. Pathologically, upper coke disease includes lesions in the heart and lungs, middle coke disease includes lesions in the spleen and stomach, and lower coke disease mainly refers to lesions in the liver and kidneys.

The relationship between the organs

Digestive function is completed through the synergistic effect of the stomach, small intestine, and gallbladder; The absorption function is mainly in the small intestine, and is also related to the large intestine and triple energizer; The excretion function is completed by the combined action of the bladder, large intestine, and triple energizer.

Pathogenesis

In the struggle between the physiological functions of the human body's internal organs and the body's ability to resist diseases, known as qi, and the external environment (various pathogenic factors, known as qi), qi is in a temporary advantage.

Pathogenic factors

12Pathogenic factors

2. Seven emotions: Joy: Excessive joy affects the lungs. Anger: It not only damages the liver, but also other organs. Worry: Sorrow can damage the lungs, but it can also damage the spleen. Thinking can harm the mind (heart), but it can also harm the spleen. Sadness: Sadness can also occur due to changes in the internal organs, leading to symptoms of sadness.

10. Zhengqi:Pathogenic factors

Struggle between good and evil:It refers to the mutual struggle between the body's disease resistance and pathogenic evil during the occurrence and evolution of diseases.

The outcome of the struggle between good and evil determines the onset of the disease:If the positive wins the evil, there will be no disease; if the positive declines, there will be disease

The positive energy is stored inside, and evil cannot be interfered with. "When evil is gathered together, its qi will inevitably become weak.

Palpation
Six principles of pulse diagnosis: floating, sinking, delayed, counting, smooth, and astringent. Floating pulse dominates external syndrome, sinking pulse dominates internal syndrome, slow pulse dominates cold syndrome, number pulse dominates heat syndrome, slippery pulse dominates deficiency syndrome, and astringent pulse dominates empirical syndrome. Repeated diagnosis: inconvenient to use and no longer commonly used. Cut and press the arteries that can be touched throughout the body, including the head (upper), hands (middle), and feet (lower), with each part divided into three stages: heaven, earth, and human. Three part diagnostic method: inconvenient to apply and no longer commonly used. The person on the head welcomes (to indicate stomach qi), the inch mouth on the wrist (to indicate twelve meridians), and the tarsal yang on the feet (to indicate stomach qi). When the condition is critical and there is no pulse at the mouth, it is often diagnosed as the survival or death of the stomach qi due to the presence of Ying and Qiyang. Cunkou diagnosis method: Divide the back of the wrist into three parts: cun, guan, and chi, with each part divided into three stages: floating, middle, and sinking, collectively known as the three stages and nine stages. Each hand has an inch, a guan, and a chi, forming a total of six meridians.
