摘要:
The term“zang xiang”first appeared in the classical text,Huangdi Neijing(Canon of Internal Medicine).Literally“zang refers to organs inside the body;xiang means image orphenomenon.Therefore,zang xiang refers tO the internal organsand the external manifestations of their physiological and patho-logical states.”[1]Nevertheless,the“zang”in Traditional ChineseMedicine does not exactly represent the anatomical organs.butsystematic groupings of physiological phenomena.
The theory of zang xiang mainly concerns two major typesof organs:the zang-organs and the fu-organs.“That is why it isalso known as‘the theory of zang-fu organs.’Zang-fu is a col-lective term for internal organs;there are five zang-organs andsix fu-organs.The common function of the five zang-organs is tostore essence,iing,which is refined food nutrient responsible formaintenance of lire activities.”[1]The common function of thesix fu-organs is“transmission and transformation;in charge ofdigestion.assimilation and elimination.[2]
“Body functions are attributed mainly to the five zang-organs——usually translated as viscera or solid organs:theHeart,Lung,Liver,Spleen,and Kidney.Understanding of theirfunctions was derived from external observation rather thananatomical study and bears little relation to standard Westernunderstanding.
