ZhaiShuangQing Beijing university of Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        What is the zang-fu organs? The theory of the understanding of the concept of viscera and even for the later today by TCM theory. First, think viscera shall be in the human body, in particular is located within the angiographic, such as "the spirit of coffins · bulge" cloud: "the zangfu lurking within the chest abdomen also, if the magazine of the ban, want not dirty." Second, the viscera all have certain form, such as "the spirit by the coffins · water" said: "the dirty brittle, setting the established the size of the large is......." The form of record visible in the spirit hub · intestines and stomach "and later was the difficult ErNan by · forty of the text. Third, the function of the zang-fu organs nowadays. Dirty to reservoirs, had hidden things, including the essence and natural look; And setting criterion with transfar is given priority to, the function that receive, including the body fluid and etc. Dirty for cloudy, setting for Yang. Such as "the spirit hub Ben dirty" say: "the five zang-organs, so mankind are hidden spirit soul. The function of extraordinary fu-organs, so do the body fluid also." Fourth, viscera each have a of the form energizing the meridians therein. So you have the element asked · meridians when "" the sun dirty", "lunar dirty" title. At the same time "classic" think "dirty" for fundamental human body, the human body has a "dirty" as the center, according to the function of a certain rule on activities, certain levels of contact, including setting, body, opening, China the function of the system, activities. With only the meaning that can be called "viscera". The concept of the zang-fu organs, the classic "in a dominant position, and is widely used in the later, still guides the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

        "Classic" of the zang-fu organs still exist in another concept, namely "form viscera" concept, although it belongs to distinguish the zang-fu organs, organs and determine the early products, is now no longer use, but it does exist widely in neijing and note home of annotated, should be "classic" era of a traditional doctrine, so the study traditional Chinese medicine, and to study the theory of traditional Chinese medicine theory and the to learn who were formed cannot not know.

        Put forward the theory of "form dirty" concept, such as "the meat asked three part 9 · wait theory" said: "form dirty four, five, and for god dirty nine dirty to should be." This and similar can also be seen in the grain asked · six section of visceral theory "and so on the article. God dirty, mainly refers to the heart the lungs kidney, be like indisputable. And to the understanding of the dirty form is very different, wang bing refers to: "form dirty four person, a community, two, three, four and fresh babbled breast shape into dirty, so. How to name." And ZhangZhiCong note: form the dirty, dirty tangible also, "small intestine stomach and colon bladder also". Later the zhang said, such as "the meat asked comments assemble", "yellow emperor suggested plain question", and so on. But from the meat asked · three part nine wait theory "said," the precious days, two, three, and therefore the three, three three to nine, nine wild. Everything should have three department, ministry has nine wait ", and "the three parts, each with the day, each have, various someone, and for nine, is... nine points nine wild, wild for nine dirty nine, so god dirty, dirty form five to four" to see, here's nine dirty when refers to the three part nine wait wait the viscera undoubtedly. And the article say again: "so the day to wait the liver, the kidney to wait, a person with syndrome of spleen and stomach gas", the central "day to wait, wait to in the lung of the gas, a person with heart syndrome", the upper "day to wait tau kok gas, with tongue of the gas, people wait to wait and gas. Nine dirty when it refers to the liver, kidneys, spleen, lung, chest, tau kok, good, unnoticed. Known in early nine dirty "classic" existed before, such as the rites · disease medical "yue:" two of the nine of the opening of the change, and in nine of the dirty move." As for why call form dirty, wang bing speak more clearly, he said: "the so-called form the dirty, all the pieces, such as the virtual and unyielding, including dirty with the thing, so the clouds form dirty also", "form into dirty, so how to name". Obviously, the so-called form dirty is refers to form in the outside, intuitive and he hide the essence storage and the like. So the dirty concept and different today. Belong to this kind of concept of the theory of the zang-fu organs have their cases, such as "the meat asked · pulse to subtle theory" cloud: "husband, the body of the five zang-organs strong. The head of the smart setting back in the setting of.................. the waist of the kidney heart-sweetening knees reinforced the bone marrow of setting... the setting... had the strong, strong death. Life lost" The five zang-organs "for this article, the note home for more than five release god dirty, and li today without the ancient books read essays, which has the different view that this period of set of use is form the concept of the zang-fu organs. The follow-up to the meal asked · end of "talking about the Lord and always, with five god dirty and head, the main two months, this phenomenon to five elements theory is to explain the impassability, in fact it's dirty head into the form of five, five god dirty and form dirty tied for regardless of a reflection. This phenomenon and that was still is not perfected the concept, but also more chaos. It can also be used as evidence the following example, "huai south son · roll seven · spirit xun is talking about the five zang-organs and corresponding weather said:" for cloud, lung for bravery gas, liver, kidney for the wind for rain, spleen ray." But "huai south son · a · form four volumes of" talking about five party and viscera and five-color fit the liver cardiopulmonary kidney with column stomach. This is the setting bravery, mingling with the organs of the stomach, dirty, and regardless of the setting for reflection.

        "Form setting" one word, although "classic" does not appear in the original, but the meal asked · pulse to subtle theory "in the back, the knee, the waist and the application of it is. Clearly put "form setting" person, when push wang2 bing, in his note the grain asked · air-pocket theory of "setting yu seventy-two acupuncture point", said: "setting, refers to the nine form, and quickly setting also." Nine form setting? The author has not yet from literature to check, but from the name implies, the concept of dirty with form in a class of, all to point to human body shape has parts. Nine dirty is according to person should be nine wild, and nine form is human body shape should also setting nine wild classification, according to the spirit of coffins · 9 needle "stated:" please said the size should be nine wild also, left foot, the day WuYin year should have ugly. Left the vernal equinox, the day should be a threat. The left hand should be the beginning of YiMao, its day. A throat JiSi wu-cheng head should be the summer solstice, the first day afternoon. Right hand should be c autumn, the third day e "not a threat. Right, the day XinYou should be autumnal equinox. Right foot should be the beginning of winter, its th e defensibly has hai. Kao waist under should be the winter solstice, the opening day RenZi quickly under the mediastinum. Three dirty, the big campaign should be zhongzhou, big campaign where a day and too e yourself." We think, the so-called nine form may be setting this said the north east should be left to the full, gen house should be in the east of the palace of earthquake is a threat, and should be left south east of the palace of all left hand, and should be in the positive LiGong south prints over parts, should be in the southwest of the palace of kun right hand, and should be confirmed in the west of the palace is a threat, should be in the northwest of the right of the right foot, dry house should be just north of the camp in the waist to the next place and opening in the belly of the house should be in.

        The grain asked · completely when "" the intestines and" different from other chapters of the theory of "intestines," including lack of bravery, for bravery belong to "hide and not purge"'s constant of the setting, and not in the store of the setting. Since it is so, so the "extraordinary fu-organs" including what? In addition to this article of the roll call "stomach, e., small intestine, triple warmer, bladder" five setting outside, according to the article is the original text, when there is barely door. From the text see next, "the store setting" words that the waters of door, concept is unified; Look from the function, barely door to make "food may not long Tibet", also accord with "the alternations between emptiness and hide" concept quickly, so in Chang in the vanilla renewal school book "point out:" barely door for one of the store also setting, are quickly." For one of the door barely heart-sweetening, actually it is "form viscera" the use of the concept.

        The theory of "form viscera" concept is now no longer use, we think it belongs to distinguish the zang-fu organs, organs and determine the product early, because its are not perfect, more chaos, and the performance of the organs and shape parts will be viscera, do not accord with the theory of the dominant position of the viscera definition, and therefore is not paid attention by later generations. The grain asked · when five "opens with discusses the alchemist at that time of viscera concept of differ, confusion know, said" yellow emperor asked yue: more than the alchemist, or to smell dirty, or by brain for stomach for dirty, or think setting. Dare to ask more instead, all is the term. Do not know its ways, may smell its said." As strange as the constant heart-sweetening concept, shape also is at that time a concept and the understanding of the subject, and the process of the development of the concept of belongs to a certain stage of the product, which is the classic "era and the families of the concept of theory.
