Concerning the study of the relationship between the zang-fu organs and mind

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        "Classic" is a variety of medical schools, all kinds of product of the combination of theory, as shown in the viscera and mind on the problem of relationship, it is "heart god" and "completely hidden god" different. "Heart hidden god" and "completely hidden god" theory, both the theoretical connotation and theoretical basis is different, but there is also some similarities.

        Traditional Chinese medicine to accept Chinese ancient philosophy "for the heart thinks" the understanding, and combined with the traditional social system possible system concept, formed a "classic" Robinson to phase of fu organs, its center Lord god, for the monarch of the thoughts. As the grain asked · spirit secret DianLun Syria of cloud: "the heart of the monarch, the gods out, how", "the Lord is the next Ann, this is the life, the health have not dangerous, think the world is big prosperous; and the Lord unknown is the way, make twelve are shut impassability, form is big injury to health, thought TianXiaZhe Yang is, the sore crisis"; The grain asked · six section hide like theory "cloud:" the heart of life, this, god the change also "; The coffins · evil spirit guest "cloud:" the heart, the big five zang-and the spirit of the Lord, which also gave ", etc. Not only that, "classic" also believe that the people's cognitive activities and in mind, such as "the spirit hub Ben god" cloud: "so as the heart of things", to have the meaning of "heart, meaning" with ideals, because-and save the thought of "change, because think far" for concentrations of trust and place, because that's term." So the Lord god has said heart and spirit of work, the human body for governor.

        The theory of ancient Chinese philosophy in the inheritance of each know, advocating for the gods, the heart of the officer at the same time, this paper also puts forward "completely hidden god" point of view, such as "the meat asked · declared five gas", "spirit hub Ben god" and the "spirit hub · 9 needle" points out that the "heart hidden god", "liver storing the soul", "lung hidden spirit", "spleen meaning" and "the kidney stores ambition", from five viscera holistic perspective and mind of the viscera unscrambling the relationship. Because of the corresponding five organs of the god, the concept cross each other and mutual tolerance based, and five of the generation and adjustment is god the entirety of the overall coordination of the relation of foundation, the meaning of the five zang-organs it hidden god is to put the five zang-organs as a whole, the mind activity (mainly refers to the cognitive, thinking, will process) as a inseparable whole, for five viscera holistic understanding coordination and complete to the master of the cognitive process role. Five of the god of gods, soul, and spirit, meaning and he divided into five line, attributable to the five zang-organs, only from cognitive, thinking, in the process of some psychological activities will have different characteristics, give analogy and into, is with the five elements to this process characteristics of the description, but not to know, thinking, will process the essential contents of the phase and strictly classified. Therefore, a description that may be considered as it is to show the people's cognitive, thinking, will process also have some characteristics of the five elements, and in all the participation of the zang-fu organs as the foundation, in fact it is also emphasizes the overall coordination of the five zang-organs it dominate the role. So the Lord god for the heart can say the officer's thought, reflected the social system and the philosophy of the thought of "monism"; And with five line characteristic analysis of human body, made for the five zang-organs, the mind will belong to the five zang-organs activities, the an "pluralism" thought, both when the "classic" medical schools of different period reflect.

        Even so, but "heart god" and "completely hidden god" also have similarities.

        First of all, both an emphasis on form. "Classic" think god in shape for foundation, at the same time and dominate the shape, form and god went to the health of the person is. No matter be "heart god", or "completely hidden god", also are emphasized this point. The former not only proposes the human spirit by the psychological activity heart, and the shape of human body five zang-and the heart of the monarch also take for official, reveals the unity of mental and physical, psychological and physiological, form and organic integration as one god. Completely hidden within the essence, is a important basis of human mind activities, such as "plain question should be like big · Yin and Yang of" said: "people have the organs of the five gas, anger, sorrow with birth could care." So when it happened five of ups and the actual changes, can affect the person's mental activities, and produce change, so completely hidden god is also in a form based on this theory.

        Second, advocate overall coordination of the five zang-organs dominate the mind activity. Completely hidden god by the five zang-organs theory is overall coordination of the master mind activity, this in any doubt. See this amendment on the Lord god theory.

        As a special study of the human body of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), although accept the ancient philosophy about "heart Lord" understanding, but in its said material foundation, basically lies in blood and chakras. Such as "the meat asked · six section hide like theory" gratified "filling in the blood," the element asked · paralysis theory "said:" the Lord of the heart and blood vessels ", etc. Pulse, actually did camp of flesh, Yin and Yang road, as the spirit hub Ben dirty, "said:" the meridians, so do the flesh and Yin and Yang camp." Meridians entire distribution, of viscera inside, outside network segments, is all the tie of the whole body contact between. And one of the important function meridians is to deliver a message, as WangHongTu in the "yellow emperor research dacheng · meridian research of cloud:" meridians are transfer information function, the meridians is the human body each part of the information transmission between nets, also is the body of the signal transmission way." So the meat asked · spirit secret DianLun Syria, called it "make way", wang bing note its cloud: "clouded in the way of that." Such a information nets, whole body internal form the contact between the nets by heart Lord, so the Lord a heart gods dominate human behavior of one of the material foundation activities. Blood, and its main function is to embellish body nourish affect each other, all skin and muscles, bones and viscera and all the tissues and organs, all depend on blood supply to nutrition, can maintain its function activities, as the spirit · camp health will coffins "said:" to serve the biological, deep-seated influence this." The theory of the generation of heart and blood that there is a close relationship between, the grain asked · meridians when "cloud:" feed gas into the stomach, oil and gas, compares her pulse. In" Here the "pure", that is, the function for a subtle virtuous role to walk on the blood of veins. Blood red, and the heart of HuoSe Lord red, the "classic" think "mind blood" (the plain question should be like big · Yin and Yang of "), the spirit hub · never gas "say:" sheng take juice, change and got the red, is refers to blood ", the coffins · camp health will spirit "is the cloud:" this who suffer indignities, secrete dross, steamed, the subtle, fluid of the note in the lung veins, but into blood." If the, the blood also is the heart of the Lord one of important material base. The pulse is contact of the zang-fu organs road, is the key to transfer information, dominate the heart arteries, is a master of the organs of the harmonious relationship between; The blood is the internal function activities foundation, the heart blood, it holds the five viscera holistic activities, so can say the Lord god theory also advocated heart organs of the overall coordination of the master mind activity.

        Third, both contain heavy "in" ideology. Heavy "medium" thought of Chinese traditional culture is one of the important thoughts, including "the king center, outside the person who body" (" wenxuan · · · han WangZiYuan four children speak's theory ") is more far-reaching influence. And the ancients thinks, the person of the heart of the human body in the middle of the (that is the center of the of the five zang-organs), as the "shuo wen jie zi" heart release said: "the public, soil, the body hidden in", and to release the names of other zang-fu organs, no "of the body" of the language, and therefore the "in" can only be understood as "in the middle of the" meaning. The · ceremonies.from written ", "lu shi chun qiu · 12 discipline" all say: the central soil "offering first heart", KongYingDa dredging: "the central ZhuXin", and with the anatomy of the heart center for release that people attached great importance to the heart, it will be called "the sovereign of the official", as the key of the organs of the person. "Heart Lord" idea formation and this has close relationship. Completely hidden god theory is stressed is completely of the overall coordination of the master mind activity, but which also exist key place. We think "completely hidden god" theory of substance, is emphasized that the key is to focus on the spleen, its theoretical basis to taste the sheng, still in five line of the earth, is completely of the angry machine of the movement of center, is the hub of the five zang-organs angry machine contact to give priority to. Visible, although both aspects different, but the theory of ideological root produced have in common.

        To sum up, "heart god" and "completely hidden god" belong to two different theories, each with its theoretical connotation and the theoretical basis, so can neither mutual confusion, confused, also not simple to use a theory to deny another theory. And the two have certain common, so for us to deeply explore the essence of the zang-fu organs and mind relationship, perfection and further developing TCM theory was provided a feasibility basis.
