The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is the main function of the five internal organs

1. Organs, including the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, mainly refer to some organs in the chest and abdominal cavity that are full of internal tissues, and their common function is to store essence and qi. Essence refers to the indispensable nutrients that can nourish the internal organs and maintain life activities.

2. The intestines, including the gall bladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, and three focal organs (six intestines), mostly refer to some hollow and cavity organs in the chest and abdominal cavity, which have the functions of digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and excreting dross.

3. In addition, there is also the "Qiheng Intestine", which refers to a class of organs that are different from the general intestines in terms of physiological functions in addition to the five internal organs, including the brain, marrow, bones, pulses, female cells, etc. It should be pointed out that in addition to the anatomy of the physical organs, the viscera in traditional Chinese medicine is more important for the summary of the physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body.

Extended information: 1. The heart is located on the left side of the chest, above the diaphragm and below the lungs, round and pointed downward, shaped like a lotus stamen, and guarded by pericardium. The heart, along with the small intestine, pulses, face, and tongue, constitute the heart system.

The heart, in the five elements, belongs to fire, is the yang organ in the yang, the main bloodline, the hidden consciousness, the master of the five internal organs, and the master of life. The heart corresponds to the summer of the four seasons.

2. The main blood vein of the heart refers to the role of the heart in charge of the blood veins and promoting the blood to circulate in the veins, including the main blood and the main veins. Blood is blood. The vein, that is, the vasculature, also known as the meridian, is the house of blood and the channel through which the blood runs.

The heart and vasculature are connected to form a closed system that serves as the hub of blood circulation. The heart beats regularly and requires three conditions: abundant heart qi, full blood, and good pulses.

3. The lungs, located in the middle of the chest, one on the left and one on the left, are lobulated and loose. It cohabits with the heart on the diaphragm, connects to the trachea, passes through the nose, and communicates directly with the atmosphere of nature. Physiological functions of the lungs:

The lungs are the main qi division of breathing, the main line of water, towards the hundred pulses, and the main joint. The lungs are the breath of the whole body. The qi of the lungs refers to the role of the lungs in presiding over and regulating the qi of all organs in the body.

The heart is the main deity,,, the heart hides the god, and is the center of the human body's life activities. Its physiological functions are twofold: first, the main thinking, consciousness, and spirit.

Under normal circumstances, the mind of the gods accepts and reflects objective external things, and conducts spiritual, conscious, and mental activities. This effect is called "anything". Ren means to accept, to serve, to load, that is, the heart has the role of accepting and processing external information.

With this kind of "any" effect, mental and mental activities will be generated, and judgments will be made about external things. Second, it dominates the activities of life. "The mind is the master of the body, the root of all things" ("Drinking and Eating is Coming, Preface").

The heart of the gods is the master of the life activities of the human body. The five internal organs must be under the unified command of the heart, so that they can carry out unified and coordinated normal life activities. The heart is the monarch, and all the organs and bones are obeyed by the heart.

The heart is hidden by the gods and used by the gods. "The heart is the master of the five internal organs, and the place of the spirit" ("The Soul and the Evil Guest").

The heart is the main bloodline, the main consciousness. The lungs are facing the hundred veins, the division breathes, and the Lord declares that it is the place where the sect qi is generated. The spleen is the main blood, the main transport, and the main ascending. The liver hides blood, and the main solid intake. The kidneys contain the innate essence and are the main reproductive growth.

The six organs are the general name of the six organs of the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, three cokes, and bladder. Fu, in ancient times, also made a house, has the meaning of the treasury, which means that it is closely related to the digestion, absorption, excretion and water metabolism of food and drink, so it is called "six intestines".

The digestion and absorption of food and drink and the metabolism of water and fluid are the result of the synergistic action of multiple viscera. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that in the process of digestion and excretion, food and drink should pass through seven key parts, called "seven chongmen". It can be seen from the theory of "seven punches" in traditional Chinese medicine that traditional Chinese medicine has not only made a more detailed anatomical observation of the digestive tract, but also made a more accurate summary of its physiological functions.

Because the "Seven Punch Gate" is a key part of the digestive tract, when it is diseased, it often causes digestive and absorption disorders of food and drink.

The physiological function of the six organs is to receive and transport water valleys and conduct dross, and their common physiological function is to transmit chemicals without hiding, and they cannot be full. The examination is a big ** collection so "Su Wen: Five Tibetan Treatises" said: "Those who pass on the six organs and do not hide them, so they cannot be full."

Therefore, at the entrance of the water valley, the stomach is solid and the intestine is weak; If you eat it, your intestines will be solid and your stomach will be weak. It is clearly pointed out here that the function of the six internal organs is to transmit the water valley and excrete the dross, which should be real and false, and cannot be often filled without excretion. For example, the production and excretion of bile, the conduction of food and drink, and the excretion of urine and urine all reflect the physiological characteristics of the six intestines.

In recent years, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has been used to treat acute abdomen, using the theory of "using the six intestines", using the method of clearing heat and detoxifying, and using the method of clearing heat and detoxifying, and making the intestines diarrheal fever and other methods conservative, and has achieved obvious curative effects, so that many patients can avoid the pain and sequelae of surgery. It should be pointed out that the theory of "using the six organs for use" is only aimed at the functional characteristics of the six intestines, and in fact, the passage of the six organs is too much or too little, which is also pathological.

The six-organ type is a general term for the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and three cokes. Their common physiological function is "chemical transmission", and their physiological characteristics are "laxative but not hidden", "solid but not full". The food and drink enters the stomach through the esophagus, and through the decay of the stomach, it spreads to the small intestine, and through the small intestine to distinguish the turbidity, and its clear (subtle, jin liquid) is absorbed by the spleen, transferred to the lungs, and distributed throughout the body for the needs of the life activities of the viscera meridians; The turbidity (dross) is distributed to the large intestine, and through the conduction of the large intestine, the stool is formed and excreted from the body; The waste fluid is vaporized by the kidneys to form urine, which penetrates into the bladder and is excreted from the body.

In the process of digestion, absorption and excretion, the food must pass through the seven key points of the digestive tract, that is, the "seven punch door", which means the seven punch portals, "the lip is the flying door, the teeth are the door of the household, the epiglottis is the suction door, the stomach is the cardia gate, the lower mouth of Taicang is the pylorus, the large intestine and small intestine will be the appendix gate, and the lower door is extremely low, so it is called the seven punch door" ("Difficult Scripture: Forty-four Difficulties").

The physiological characteristics of the six organs are the sheng and the water valley, which has the characteristics of passing down and inspecting the branches of his subordinates. "Those who have six internal organs pass on the incarnation but do not hide it, so the truth cannot be full. Therefore, the population of the water valley has a solid stomach and a weak intestine.

If you eat it, your intestines will be solid and your stomach will be weak" ("Su Wen: Five Organs Separately"). Each intestine must be emptied of its contents in a timely manner in order to maintain the smooth flow of the six intestines and the coordination of functions, so there is a saying that "the six intestines are used for the passage and the reduction is smooth". Highlight the words "pass" and "down", if the pass and drop are too much or too late, they are all pathological.

The five organs, namely the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, are collectively called.

In the meridian theory, the pericardium is also called the six organs. The common physiological characteristics of the five organs are metaplasia and storage of essence and qi, and can hide the gods, so they are called "divine organs". Although the functions of the five organs have their own functions, they are late in coordinating with each other to maintain the process of life.

The physiological activities of the five organs are closely related to changes in the natural environment and mental and emotional factors.

The Tibetan elephant theory holds that the human body is an extremely complex organic whole, and the various components of the human body are structurally inseparable, functionally interrelated, metabolically interrelated, and pathologically influenced by each other. The Tibetan elephant theory is centered on the five internal organs, and through the meridian system, "the internal organs belong to the internal organs, and the external channels belong to the limbs", connecting the six internal organs, the five bodies, the five senses, the nine orifices, and the limbs and hundreds of bones into an organic whole.

The five internal organs are a general term for the internal organs of the human body, and they are also a metaphor for the internal situation of things. The five organs refer to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and the six organs refer to the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, three cokes, bladder, and gall bladder.

Traditional Chinese medicine divides the important organs in the human body into two categories: viscera and viscera, and the theory of viscera is called the doctrine of "zànɡ elephant". 藏, through "dirty", refers to the internal organs of hiding (cánɡ); An elephant is a sign or image. This means that although internal organs exist in the body, their physiological and pathological changes are manifested externally.

Therefore, the viscera theory of Chinese medicine is a theory that studies the laws of internal organ activity and their interrelationship by observing the external signs of the human body. In traditional Chinese medicine, viscera not only refers to the anatomy of the physical organs, but more importantly, it is a summary of the physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body.
