That's a lot of bullshit! How is it not the heart? That's what the ancients knew about the heart before there was any knowledge of Western medicine or Western medicine! Chinese medicine is first and foremost empirical medicine, and when you come across the activity of your beloved's little heart touching and beating, the ancients considered it to be the heart in conscious activity! So attribute a lot of modern brain activity to heart function! Then this part of the function of the problem, such as heart fire and insomnia with Huanglian clear heart heat to achieve therapeutic purposes! The patient did get better, and became more convinced of the presumption that the heart is the master of the mind! So here's the problem. Western autopsy reveals that the heart is an engine!

Going back to TCM theories would not be compatible with the function of the heart! So we turn around and instruct TCM that the heart in TCM refers to more than just the heart! It also includes some of the functions of the brain. In other words, the current theories of TCM are theories that have been modified after exposure to the natural sciences of Western medicine! It is also fully consistent with the theory of Chinese medicine from practice, with traditional Chinese culture and philosophy summarized in the scientific theory, the theory is formed to guide the clinical, when the clinical has been corrected and verified in turn to improve the theory! Chinese medicine theory is not set in stone, but also in the continuous improvement and revision, its revision is mainly focus on the results, focus on practice, as long as the heart, spirit and mind of the disease through the Chinese medicine theory of the heart, go to the heart of the drug treatment, we still summarize him but for the function of the heart! For example, many reports of patients after heart replacement surgery, personality, diet and lifestyle habits to give more than one belongs to the brain's functional changes ... perhaps natural science and modern medicine and then progress, will find that the heart does have the function of the spirit of God! For example, the conclusion that the appendix is not useful, Western medicine does not also change the view? At present, Western medicine also has a lot of cases that can not be explained and can not be explained, such as Chinese medicine meridians...

So the heart, in modern Chinese medicine, is the heart! But not exactly the heart, is a series of functions summarized attributed to the heart function! And through clinical practice indeed according to the heart treatment can achieve the therapeutic purpose of the heart function! Including the functions of other TCM organs as well! There is no need for Chinese medicine people to avoid modern medicine, and there is no need to deny the theory of Chinese medicine! Because when one understands the origin of TCM theories, one also understands that TCM theories can be questioned...It is only since ancient times that there have been different schools of TCM, and innovations in TCM...

A great god can't be said to be a great god, and I wouldn't dare to call myself a great god.

The heart in the phrase "the heart is the master of God's brightness" cannot be said to be equivalent to the heart in the anatomical sense. Rather, it is the overall function of the syncopal pericardium meridian and the lesser yin heart meridian, which include the heart. In other words, these two meridians influence and regulate human consciousness and judgment.

The heart rules the gods:
My understanding is that the Divine is the way of intention, direction, plan, program, and the Lord of the Heart is the switch that makes the decision to act or not to act to do and to implement. It is a bit like the qigong feeling of the intention following the thought.

fault

The theory that the heart is the master of God is mainly based on the belief that the "heart" in Chinese medicine is a comprehensive functional unit and is not equivalent to the "heart" in modern anatomy.

The argument is that if the heart does not dominate the divine, then the spleen does not dominate the transportation but the immunity, and the liver does not dominate the excretion but the transportation. In this way, the theory of Chinese medicine Tibetan image will also be completely different. After cardiac surgery patients can appear mental disorders and cardiac magnetism can interfere with brain magnetism research also provides support for this view.

Where is the "heart" of Chinese medicine?

Jindong's note: In terms of the functions of the heart, the heart, which is the main blood vessel, is located in the upper thoracic cavity, and the heart, which is the main spirit, is located in the brain and belongs to the five viscera.

If you read the Nei Jing, you will find that the heart (five organs) of Chinese medicine refers more to the heart (five organs) of yin and yang and the five elements, and not exclusively to the heart (five organs) of flesh and blood anatomy.

In terms of the Nei Jing, the Yin-Yang and the Five Elements is the tool for the derivation of the core theoretical system of Chinese medicine. Speaking of yin and yang can not be separated from the five elements, speaking of the five elements can not be separated from the four seasons, it is "yin and yang, five elements, four seasons, heaven and earth, the way of all things also". Ancient people paid great attention to the "unity of man and heaven", medical doctors talk about "man and heaven" of the whole, that is, people should be on the sky, in order to be compatible, similar, harmonious and unified and consistent. Therefore, the heart of Chinese medicine (five organs), more refers to the yin and yang five elements of the heart (five organs), that is, Chinese medicine "does not focus on the anatomy of the relationship between the five elements".

Such as "Su Wen - six sections of the Tibetan elephant theory" said: "the heart, the birth of this, God's change, its Hua in the face, its full in the blood, for the sun in the sun, through the summer gas." Here there is yin and yang, there are the four seasons, there is blood, there is God and other "heaven and man accordingly" content.

Then again, the Su Wen - Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun says: "Heat is born in the south, heat begets fire, fire begets bitterness, bitterness begets the heart, the heart begets blood, blood begets the spleen, and the heart dominates the tongue, which is heat in the sky, fire on the earth, pulse in the body, heart in the hide, red in the color, levitation in the sound, and laughter in the voice. ....... " Here are the five elements and the five elements of the "heaven and man corresponding" holistic view (heaven and earth, man, the three talents) analogous deduction.

Another example is the "Su Wen - The Treatise on Prohibition", which says: "The liver is born on the left, the lungs are hidden on the right, the heart is on the surface, the kidneys are in the interior, and the spleen is the enabler." Here is the distribution of the five organs of the human body, i.e., the left liver, the right lung, the upper heart, the lower kidneys, the center of the spleen of the "heaven and man corresponds to the" holistic view and the "left ascending, right descending," the laws of the heavenly way of operation and change. The distribution of the five organs is related to the first diagram of the Ling Shu - Nine Palaces and Eight Winds.

The anatomical location and shape of the heart is known to the ancients, but the classic works such as "Nei Jing" and "Nanying" did not record, while in Xu Shen "Shuowen Jiezi" there is clear evidence.

Shuo Wen Jie Zi - Xin Bu says: " Xin , the human heart, the earth is also hidden. In the body, like shape." Can be seen, the heart is a pictogram, when the ancients know where the heart, how its shape, and then created the word heart, but "Shuowen" does not explain the meaning of the word. The "heart" of the original meaning, as Liu Xi "interpretation of the name - interpretation of the shape of the body," said: "the heart, the fiber is also, the knowledge of the fiber, nothing is not coherent (heart) also." This and the Dunhuang medical book remnants of the "Ming Tang five viscera theory" recorded in the "heart of the annihilation (fiber), the so-called annihilation (fiber) of things micro, nothing does not pass through the heart," consistent, but also with the "Spiritual Pivot - this God" said that "so that any object is called the heart," the same meaning, that is, the heart of the original meaning of the brain and the brain "The original meaning of the heart is related to the brain.

Anatomically speaking, the heart is located in the upper thoracic cavity, "the heart weighs twelve taels, there are seven holes and three hairs in the heart, holds the essence of the juice of the three, the main hidden God." (Difficult Classic - Forty-two Difficulties) "The heart is shaped like an unshaved lotus flower, with nine holes in it to guide the gas of heavenly truth and the universe of God" (Wang Bing note). The periphery of the heart is wrapped in a pericardium, called the pericardium. Above the pericardium there are veins, called the pericardium, also known as the heart of the main veins. Such as the "Spiritual Pivot - evil guest" said: "the heart of the main vein ...... up into the chest, the inner network in the heart vein (package) ...... pericardial complex, the heart of the main vein also."

"Hand Shaoyin pulse, from the heart, out of the heart system, under the diaphragm and small intestine", "Ling Shu - meridian" chapter this "heart", when the heart position.

"Small intestine hand sun pulse ...... into the lack of basin, complex heart, through the pharynx under the diaphragm against the stomach, belonging to the small intestine", "Ling Shu - meridian" chapter this complex "heart", also when it refers to the location of the heart.

The Suwen-Pingren Weather Lecture says: "The large complex of the stomach, called Xuili, passes through the li and the lungs, and comes out from under the left breast, and its movement should be in the clothes, and the pulse zongqi also." The Xuli, located under the left breast, is where the tip of the heart beats, and within it is exactly where the heart is located.

The Suwen-Jin Gui Zhen Rhetoric says, "The back is Yang, and the Yang of Yang is the heart." Wang Bing notes: "The heart is the Yang reservoir and is located in the upper Jiao." Because "the back is the capital of the chest" (Su Wen - The Essence of the Pulse), the heart is said to be located in the chest cavity of the upper jiao.

因“心主脉”（《素问·宣明五气篇》、《灵枢·九针论》）、“心之合脉也”（《素问·五藏生成篇》），而“脉者血之府也”（ Suwen - Pulse Essence and Subtlety (素问-脉要精微论)), "All blood belongs to the heart" (素问-五藏生成篇), and Suwen - Six Sections of the Theory of Hidden Elements (素问-六节藏象论), which says that "the heart is ...... filled with the blood" (素问-六节藏象论). "Su Wen - impotence theory" also said "the heart of the body's blood", so the later will be one of the heart function is summarized as "the heart of the blood", and inherited. This is the function of the physical anatomy of the heart, which is located in the upper thoracic cavity.

The heart is the master of spirituality, also known as the heart is the master of divinity (Suwen Linglan Mysteries: "The heart is the official of the sovereign, and divinity comes out of it."). This function is located in the brain and belongs to all five organs.

The brain is the capital of Qiheng, the sea of marrow, located in the skull, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica - Xinyi" says that "the brain is the capital of the First Spirit". Read "Nei Jing", "Nang Jing" will find that the function of "brain as the capital of the First Spirit" belongs to the five viscera and the president is in the heart. This is why the five organs are also known as the "Five Divine Hides" ("Suwen - Six Sections of the Tibetan Elephant Theory").

The five viscera harbor the five gods, as stated in "Su Wen - Xuan Ming Wu Qi Chuan", "the heart hides the spirit, the lungs hide the prana, the liver hides the soul, the spleen hides the will, and the kidneys hide the will".

The five viscera harbor the six gods, specifically referred to as "the heart hides the spirit, the lungs hide the prana, the liver hides the soul, the spleen hides the will, and the kidneys hide the essence and the will", as stated in the "Spiritual Pivot - Nine Needle Treatise".

The five viscera harbor seven gods, specifically referred to as "the liver hides the soul, the lung hides the prana, the heart hides the spirit, the spleen hides the will and the intellect, and the kidneys hide the essence and the will," as stated in "The Book of Difficulties - Thirty-four Difficulties".

The five organs hide the five gods, the "Spiritual Pivot - Ben Shen" is expressed in this way "the liver hides blood, blood sheds the soul", "the spleen hides camp, camp sheds the will", "the heart hides veins, veins sheds the god", "the lungs hide qi, qi sheds the prana", "the god hides essence, essence sheds the will". "The lungs store qi, and qi sheds prana, and the gods store essence, and essence sheds will.

Chinese medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and the "heart" of Chinese medicine is the "heart" of traditional Chinese culture! That's why we have "Don't forget the original intention", "Think big", "Three hearts, two minds", "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." "happy heart", "happy mood", "distracted", "mental health" and other Chinese "Heart"! What does this "heart" have to do with anatomy? What if we replace it with "brain"?

Chinese medicine theory 'the heart of God' said the heart has two meanings, one is the Western medical anatomy of material existence of the heart, that is, the heart, is visible and touchable. The second is the heart of God here that is a general reference to the great annoyance thinking, the heart of God, the sky has three treasures of the sun, the moon, the stars, people have three treasures of essence, gas, God.

Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own strengths and weaknesses, human development to the present, science and technology in the development of human thought is also changing, especially in the last three years, human beings are affected by the new crown service situation, can not deny that Chinese medicine and Western medicine play a role, there is no good and bad points, can only harmonize the organic combination, in order to achieve the purpose of saving the life of the injured and curing the disease.

Chinese medicine viscera not only refers to the organs, but also includes its meridians belonging to the function, you if you learn through the Chinese and Western medicine, familiar with the ancient and modern medical cases, you will know how Chinese medicine is ahead of the curve! In Hao Wanshan teacher of traditional Chinese medicine lectures, on the talk of many of these medical cases, and the verification of Chinese and Western medicine! Only those who do not understand and have ulterior motives will deliberately mislead others!

Also yes and no, wasn't that clearly explained in the screenshot you posted?

Yes: is meant to include this specific heart organ.

No: it means that the concrete mind is only one part of it, and the main Divine Spirit is the other part.

According to the theory of Chinese medicine, the heart is the heart of God, which is 100% of the heart! However, the theory of Chinese medicine on the human body is the perception of the overall view of the other organs and all the tissues of the human body problems, will affect the gods, affect the heart, affect the consciousness, so, Chinese medicine believes that all the tissues of the human body are closely linked to each other to play a supportive role, Chinese medicine treatment advocates the repair of restoration and correction of the bias of the Western treatment advocates excision, a hundred.

I can't help but meditate and think after reading everyone's understanding of the 'heart is the master of God's light' and the understanding of the thesis.

For shallow learners of Chinese, they simply cannot understand the classical studies of Chinese medicine.

The theory of Chinese medicine is based on respecting the role of nature in general for human beings!

Therefore, the deepest mysteries of Chinese medicine become the nonsense of shallow learning.

The heart is the master of the divine. First, the most one-sided perception is that the heart is a term for the individual.

Chinese medicine has actually never been a holistic concept in its overview of the mind. (Needless to say)

If you analyze Chinese medicine with the so-called scientific concepts, it will not work at all.

Where does science come in? What is a subject without a whole?

Therefore, the heart is the master of the gods, and the ancients articulated this conclusion in terms of man and nature as a whole!

This mind means the principle of human activity. Therefore, it is in the same vein as mindfulness.
