ZhaiShuangQing Beijing university of Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        "Classic" are not the same number of viscera, also accord with the families of the theory of the doctrine of nature, have several views, here basically comply with dirty, only for setting of the definition of the number of zang-fu organs were discussed, such as "form dirty four, god dirty five" and tang dynasty wang2 bing so-called "nine form setting", all from "heaven corresponding" view that understanding, but the "form" of interspersed, it does not conform with the "classic" dominant "and" definition, in traditional Chinese medicine also failed to get further development, so not discuss here. "Strange constant government office of" though an the zangfu category, but also because of its do not accord with dirty, setting the definition of, so also no longer are discussed.

        11 viscera said

        "Classic" mentioned in "the derrnatopathy", including the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lung, kidney, e., small intestine, bravery, triple warmer, bladder this eleven organs. Obviously, this theory in the study of the dominant in position, is also the subject of 11 viscera said content. Such as "the meat asked · gold, want not really speech" cloud: "liver, spleen, heart, lung and kidney Yin, are completely of the stomach, colon and bravery, small intestine, bladder, triple warmer are quickly Yang." The spirit hub · division preach "is cloud:" five zang-and the cover for the lung, heart... for the Lord of the liver, and the Lord for...... the spleen, the Lord will be for health... the Lord for the kidney, the stomach for extraordinary fu-organs..., the sea of... with the long, with nasal tunnel syndrome of the large intestine. Long, thick lips, people wait in small intestine. The hardest job, which is the fruit of the bravery. Nostrils in the outside, bladder. Nasal discharge column, the central up about this so wait, but are quickly." This in the theory of mainstream holds in the point of view, and also for the match after five viscera attachment five setting said, with five said quickly laid a foundation.

        Twelve viscera said

        The grain asked · spirit secret DianLun Syria "cloud:" the heart of the monarch, the official also how the gods. Lung, phase of the officer, put to quarter fu. Liver, how out of general officer, MouLv out. The bravery of how the officer, determination, chung out. Shan how the princes, the officer, joy out of spleen and stomach and stillness. The official, the five out of up her barns. The large intestine, and how the officer, change a small intestine, the stillness. By the official, and formed a kidney, the stillness. The top official, the Ji artful out. The person, how should the day of the waterway out, how the bladder, states. The officer, how the body fluid, gasification is able to hide out all this will do. The officer, not twelve is also lost." Twelve viscera is said by the element asked · spirit secret DianLun Syria "article puts forward, points out that people had twelve viscera, in addition to the above 11 viscera Shan. In the theory of Shan in having different meaning, the spirit of coffins, sea, "said:" the Shan for gas sea ", that is, bosom; The coffins · bulge spirit of "said:" Shan the heart of the Lord reigns, also ", that is, the heart envelope. In addition, the spirit hub · meridians "and so on the article twelve meridians and viscera intentional envelope and no Shan emergencies. The YiPian · thorn method plain question of "also said:" the Shan, I make out the joy, how intrusive, heart shed envelope, "says that in Shan have evil thorn heart envelope, according to other organs and all the arguments of the sting, it can be seen that Shan heart of the envelope.

        The theory of heart that worked only generation (heart order, generation by evil, heart functions to protect the heart. As the spirit and coffins · guest "say:" so the evil lies in the heart of the heart, all is envelope ", in no other special function. Therefore, Chinese medicine in each viscera function discussed, most of the envelope into heart heart discussion, and think it is the heart of a subsidiary organ, so whether in the theory of parallel and in the book, the heart envelope by too much attention is not, and did not occupy twelve said the main position, and still 11 viscera said primarily.

        In addition, the difficult to the "in" classic "and the basis of twelve said much in this paper. Such as "the difficult the · 36 difficult" cloud: "dirty each have one ear, kidney, what also unique both? However, not all patients both the left kidney. The kidney, the right for a way for the way, and the gods. The essence, the original up gas is also; man to hide fine, and the woman, is home to the kidney. A also." And as the difficult the · 38 difficult "cloud:" five zang-organs also have six dirty, refers to the kidney two dirty also." "The difficult in the thirty-ninth difficult by ·" cloud: "the words have five, dirty heart-sweetening six, who also ran quickly: what? Who, there are five setting also also have six dirty. Completely of the act, refers to the kidney two dirty also. The left is right kidney, the way the term spirit. Mingmen, the man up with Tibetan essence of life; also, the woman in the cell, with gas and kidney, so the words have six. Setting also dirty five, who also ran: what? The five zang-organs, the setting is also a setting, but do not belong to the five zang-organs, so there are five words setting how." Visible, "the difficult of the twelve viscera is divided into two renal dirty, left for kidney, the right way for the view. The kidney and mingmen opposition, think way is a separate viscera, but from the difficult to the "mentioned" refers to the way of the spirit, which is to give, the man, pure, and the woman, to hide in, the gas and kidney cells connected "to see, here say the function of the way, as part of the kidney function. That is worth, from "the difficult of the discussion, we can see that the organs of the understanding of different, these are all about early in the number of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and existing in different views reflected.

        13 viscera said

        The king so old "it hard to know" think six dirty quickly for twelve, and add a setting cell, the zang-fu organs for 13. In the theory of cells in the actual three concepts, urine cell darling, darling heart envelope, women's hearts cell. The king so old cell as a setting, with urine cell concepts such as he cloud: "bladder inside the cell of the country", "the chamber of the bladder, the".

        The author believed that, "the move is hot at the bladder" language up the meat asked · gas jue theory ", to "cell" interpretation, the traditional opinion basically has two kinds: one think of pure room with women's cell means, such as WuKun, ZhangJieBin, etc.; The second think of a bladder and cells, such as the transplant horse, the king shoe, etc. These are not the best explain the ban. Take an examination of "cell" word, "classic" have a variety of meanings, one for heart envelope. Such as "the meat asked · paralysis theory of" sorrow will kill you, the cell network off ", accordingly, this "cell" when for heart envelope. The heart of the pulse envelope with less because of the phase list hand Yang, "diaphragmatic, calendar winding down because of the", bladder is located in middle, forming a heart monarch, heart and bladder channels (between contact. As Yang on good note the grain asked · paralysis of time of cloud: "heart sorrow will kill you makes it to heart the collaterals and drink, the hand in the injury, still less sun be the spirit from heart, blood loss on hand collapse less, Yang meridians" urinetoplasma ratio ", emphasizing the blood from the envelope on hand to the bladder under less Yang veins, and also illustrates the heart monarch, thermal envelope heart, envelope heat in the way to move the bladder. The theory of the original said "the move is hot at the bladder, the Long, or blood". Long refers to voiding difficulties, is not what urine block, by bladder gasification adverse to do so. Bladder gasification depends not only on their own organs, and and heart, heart the envelope. The qing dynasty famous doctors CaoRenBo think: the yue: the move is hot at the bladder is Long, or blood, so the red fire and medicinal scattered's Dan and lights. ChengGuoPeng think "heart blood, it is hot, the Lord is hot at the left, Yin bladder blood folly and drowned out how"; "The mind, Lord of the donkey-hide gelatine scattered". Thus, it is easy to see these clinical everybody, though not explicitly pointed out that "cell", or "heart envelope", but it is on the line to medication, and effective in practice prove this the correctness of the contention.

        To sum up, 13 viscera in major controversy said "cell", "cell" or urine for bladder cells for a part of, or for heart is included in within quickly envelope, therefore, 13 viscera said cannot be established. In short, the viscera in number, "classic" formation period mainly has 11, 12 and viscera said said two kinds.
