From the perspective of traditional martial arts, what attributes do the five internal organs correspond to?

From the perspective of traditional martial arts, the five internal organs correspond to lung, liver, wood, spleen, soil, kidney, water and heart respectively.

The five elements are wood, fire, earth, gold and water, representing five attributes. They are abstract concepts and cannot understand concrete things. In traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements are used to describe the functions and relationships of the five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney). Note that the five zang-organs here are also a functional concept (called Tibetan image), which is not limited to the specific anatomy of the five zang-organs.

Wood-growth, vitality, softness and smoothness.

Fire-warm, rising and bright

Soil-biochemistry, fertility and acceptance

Gold-Cleanliness, Purity and Fusion

Water-cold, cool, moist, flowing downwards.

The relationship between birth and mutual resistance of five elements

The solid line indicates mutual generation; The dotted line represents the phase diagram.

Common growth means that one thing can promote, encourage and nurture another thing (for convenience of description, the living are called mothers and the living are called children). Mutual restriction refers to the restriction and restriction of this thing on the growth and function of another thing. Mutual resistance is a common normal phenomenon in nature. Without life, there is no reason for development, and without control, it will be harmful. Both are important. Don't think it is good to live with each other, but it is not good to resist each other. Gigantism is an example of uncontrolled growth.

Mutual growth and mutual restriction are two inseparable aspects. Without life, there is no occurrence and growth of things; Without grams, it is impossible to maintain the balance and coordination of the development and change of things.

The relationship between the five internal organs

(1) The five internal organs develop mutually: the liver makes fire with wood, such as the liver storing blood to help the heart; If the heart gives birth to spleen, fire gives birth to earth. For example, the yang of the heart can ask the spleen. Spleen gives birth to lung as soil gives birth to gold, such as spleen transporting the essence of Shui Gu, which can benefit lung; Lung and kidney are golden raw water. When the lung qi is clear, the body fluid will drop and nourish the kidney. Kidney generates liver as aquatic wood, such as kidney storing essence and nourishing liver yin and blood.

(2) Mutual restraint between the five internal organs: the decline of lung (gold) can inhibit the hyperactivity of liver (wood) yang, that is, Jin Kemu; The liver (wood) is smooth and the spleen (soil) is depressed, that is, wood can be soil; The transport of spleen (soil) can prevent the overflow of kidney (water), that is, soil can overcome water; Tonifying kidney (water) and yin can restrict the hyperactivity of heart (fire) yang, that is, water can overcome fire; Heart (fire) yang heat excessively restricts lung (gold) clearing, that is, fire can kill gold.

However, it must be pointed out that the theory of five elements has certain limitations in explaining the balance relationship between zang-fu organs. This is because the five zang-organs correspond to the five elements only to extract some characteristics of the five zang-organs, and the five elements can not explain all the phenomena in the world, but only part of the relationship.
