What are the names of human organs?

The naming and function identification of zang-fu organs and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine is very different from that in modern medicine, which cannot be separated from yin and yang, five elements, ten branches and twelve branches. Tracing back to the source, we can know that Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the roots of academic theory of TCM.

At present, many concepts in the academic theory of traditional Chinese medicine are vague, with vague semantics and unclear connotation and extension. Such as Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Heaven and Earth, Qi and other terms, their connotations and extensions often change with the change of context, so it is difficult to express them in precise language, especially in modern scientific terms. This requires us to clarify and decompose the precise connotation that can be expressed in modern scientific language from the category of ancient traditional science in China.

Modern medicine uses reductionism to accurately express and explain the terms of this subject. Can't Chinese medicine use reductionism? The answer is yes and necessary. However, because Chinese medicine and modern medicine are two different medical systems, the restoration of Chinese medicine must not be restored to the tissues, organs, cells and molecules of modern medicine, but should be restored to the five elements of Yin and Yang. Because the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians in TCM is closely related to Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Ten Branches and Twelve Branches, if the academic theory of TCM is compared to a big tree, then Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the roots of this big tree. As a "root", each line directly corresponds to each pair of zang-fu organs and their affiliated meridians. Such as wood corresponding to the liver and gallbladder; Fire corresponds to the heart and small intestine; Soil corresponds to the spleen and stomach; Gold corresponds to lung and large intestine; Water corresponds to kidney and bladder (see figure). "Ten Branches" and "Twelve Branches" are two sets of calendars that were born in Huang Xi period.

These two calendars, the 10 day in the 10 year, and the 10 day in the 10 year in the 12 year, are connected with the five elements of yin and yang, because China's traditional scientific thought holds that the five elements of yin and yang are the five basic attributes of the qi of heaven and earth, which are embodied in spring and summer. Four seasons, ten years and twelve years are based on the fundamental attributes of the qi of heaven and earth, and the operation law of the qi of heaven and earth is inspected and marked in different periods.

December of the lunar calendar is not the lunar calendar we use now, but is based on the law of the moon's round and round. It is based on the 24 solar terms to determine the month, every two solar terms for a month, a month is about 30 days. This calendar divides the tropical year into twelve months, then into four seasons, and each season is divided into three months. These twelve months are the twelve months that Su Wen said directly correspond to the human the twelve meridians, that is, "Chen Mao is built in spring, noon is built in summer, permission is built in autumn, and Haizi is ugly in winter." Twelve veins, that is, the pulse of three yang in the hand and three yang in the foot. Corresponding to the luck, so participate in it. " [ 1]

The calendar in October of the tenth year is also divided according to the 24 solar terms. Because the October calendar of ten droughts has been lost for a long time in the history of the Central Plains, it has only been handed down in the very closed areas of the Yi people.

The October calendar of Yi nationality is a very old calendar, which was still used in some very closed areas before liberation. This calendar divides a year into ten months, each with 36 days. Earth, copper, water, wood and fire match the "male and female" moon respectively. Yi people call these ten months ten "mending mo" (male and female), and mark them with Tugong, Mutu, Tonggong, Mu Tong, Shuigong, Jellyfish, Mugong, Jiang Mumu, Huogong and Huomu. These ten months are divided into five seasons, and summer is earth; Copper in autumn; Water in winter; Spring is wood; Spring and summer turn into fire. Han people regard spring as wood, summer as fire, autumn as gold, winter as water, and the turn of summer and autumn as earth. The two statements are basically the same. Earth, copper, water, wood and fire are the five elements of the Han nationality, because the "gold" mentioned by the Han nationality originally refers to "copper". Male and female, heaven and earth and yin and yang are synonymous words [2]. Mr. Chen also confirmed in the Ten-Day Examination that in ancient times, the name of October was recorded by ten dry days [3]. Namely, Jiamu, butadiene, pentadienyl, heptyl and non-decyl.

According to the textual research of Mr. Chen, an expert in the history of natural science, the October calendar of Yi people is the oldest calendar in China, which was used in Xia Dynasty more than 4,000 years ago. The October calendar of the Yi people is an October calendar inherited from the Xia Dynasty. Moreover, the five elements of the Yi October calendar are male and female, which are basically consistent with the five seasons of the Han nationality. This ten-year-old October calendar is "Su Wen?" 9? 9 "Theory of Dirty Qi Law" points out: "Liver governs spring, ... its day A and day B; ..... Heart dominates summer, ... Its day is C-D; ..... Spleen governs summer, and ..... Its day is Wuji; ..... Lung governs autumn, ... Its day is Geng Xin; ..... Kidney governs winter, and .............................. ",in which Party A, Party B and Party D ... refer to Party A, Party B and Party D ... Su Wen's main point is that the qi of five internal organs is related to the qi of five o'clock. Like the five seasons, the five elements of Yin and Yang divide the twenty-four solar terms into five. October 10 drought year; In December of the twelfth century, the twenty-four solar terms were divided into ten and twelve on average. As a traditional Chinese medicine, zang-fu organs and meridians directly correspond to yin and yang, five elements, ten movements and ten days, and twelve movements and twelve months, because the movement of qi and blood in human body is related to the movement of qi in heaven and earth, and the rules of the two movements are the same.

From the above analysis, we can see that Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the roots of academic theory of TCM, which is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of ancient traditional science in China. In modern academic terms, the academic theoretical system of TCM is based on the highest achievement of ancient traditional science in China. Only by analyzing the inseparable relationship between the theories of zang-fu organs and meridians and the theories of yin and five elements in the academic theory of traditional Chinese medicine can we truly restore the academic theory of traditional Chinese medicine Talking about the development and innovation of academic theory of TCM without the traditional science in ancient China is like removing the nourishment from the fertile soil of the traditional science in ancient China. Only the big tree of TCM will lose its vitality, but it is just self-deception.
