This is a question you can go and read, Chapter 67 of the Great Treatise on the Five Operations in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. This details the theory of yin and yang, and the theory of the five elements of the five viscera and six bowels are described in detail. There is this passage in it.

Heat is born in the south, and heat begets fire. Fire begets bitterness, bitterness begets heart, heart begets blood, blood begets spleen.

This one sentence covers heaven and earth, yin and yang, and human physiology. Is it consistent with human physiology? Nowadays, scientific research does not have a full understanding of the physiological functioning of the human body, so how do you say it is consistent with physiology or not.

We'll spare you the big points and make some simple ones for your amusement.

The heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, that is, Chinese medicine made an analogy understand?

The heart in Chinese medicine is not the heart of Western anatomy, it is the entire blood circulation system. That is to say, the heart in Chinese medicine theory is the blood vessels that have a connection with the heart blood are all belong to the attribute of fire.

Then say the spleen, the spleen not only refers to the spleen, and muscle are the spleen's category, the spleen to live in the muscle well. Spleen in Chinese medicine belongs to the earth.

Now having learned that the heart and the spleen are both relatively large systems, let's talk about fire producing earth. There are blood vessels in the muscles, there is blood, and this blood is in the muscles, bringing oxygen, nutrients to the muscles, allowing the spleen system to work well, to maintain movement well, to maintain the power to break down food, and the circulation of the blood also takes away the nutrients in the food that the spleen breaks down, and in this way it is fire that produces earth.

Since the spleen is the master of muscle, basically it is the whole body that takes up a large portion of the body, and only the blood vessels can reach all the muscles, and to help the muscles is to belong to the category of raw.

The evolution of the fertilized egg should be the heart followed by the spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver.

In line with the heart for the fire, the heart is responsible for promoting the flow of blood to all parts of the body, the spleen is responsible for the body's muscles, the fire to promote strong, abundant blood flow, the human body muscle firmness, skin smooth. Good color. In addition, there are blood vessels supplying blood to the stomach and spleen directly from the heart. Anatomically, the arteries supply blood vessels to the spleen and stomach. You can check the anatomical counterpart.

I think this is a metaphor used in Chinese medicine theory to understand the relationship between the heart and the spleen, and there is no necessary connection between fire and earth, but there is a necessary connection between the heart and the spleen. This is how the ancients thought about the relationship between the two. Because of the ancient hetu luoshu propaganda, and later the birth of gossip, and yin and yang five elements to understand things based on the theory of these theories in a long time to guide people's thinking to understand things and their laws of development. So a new knowledge on the dominant theory on the set, in order to be able to make their new knowledge to be recognized. But?

In fact, let's not talk about the fact that the heart is fire and fire produces earth. Just say that the heart has a great positive influence on the spleen on the line. Today's scientific society, the year turned intellectuals hear the heart belongs to the fire, the spleen belongs to the earth, fire born of the earth, sounds mysterious hee hee, but also yin and yang gossip on the belief that the unscientific cheating fortune-telling, from the mind to reject. In fact, although the theory of Chinese medicine experience is not science.

The doctrine of the five elements in Chinese medicine is not supposed to be a study of wood, fire, earth, gold and water per se; it does not refer to the five substances in nature.

Wood is said to be straight Fire is said to be inflamed Earth is said to be harvested Gold is said to be from the leather Water is said to be run down, Chinese medicine uses five substances to correspond to the five viscera like, mainly used to do the classification tool For the convenience of the explanation It is the philosophical theory of Chinese medicine; the

Chinese medicine believes that man is a product of nature, our body and the natural universe is inseparable, the five organs of the phytogenetic relationship as nature's spring (liver) summer (heart) long summer (spleen) autumn (lungs) winter (kidney) seasonal nourishment and promotion of the relationship; the heart gives birth to the spleen, we can be understood in this way: the prosperity of the summer to promote the long summer food to further growth into fruitful so that there will be a good harvest in the fall!

not matching up

No Chinese medicine, just the five elements.

The original meaning of the five elements, one is not in line with the reality, the second is not logical. For example, what is born of the earth, normal people with feet know that the earth is born of wood, but the five elements of the provisions of the earth is born of gold, think about it makes sense, and then think about it, not only born of gold, what line can be born, earth is born of wood, born of gold, born of fire, born of water, all can. According to this kind of thinking, the five elements can be a life of four, can also be a gram of four, which completely knocked down the saints formulated by the dogmatic idealistic rigidity of the cycle of birth and death framework. If so, the ancient doctrine of the five elements collapsed, what is the point? Unceremoniously, the five elements is a sage coaxed mortal trap!

The heart beats constantly, generating heat and kinetic energy. Heat is transferred from the lungs down to the small intestine, otherwise the heat would go all the way up to the brain.

When the small intestine becomes hot, it causes the water in the bladder to evaporate, while at the same time and the nutrients absorbed in the small intestine, nourishing the spleen and stomach.

The heart and the small intestine are mutually exclusive.

Chinese medicine is not the average person can learn, it is the theory of profound and unfathomable, a people can never figure out. Yin and Yang, five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, in addition to Chinese medicine to understand, there are also fortune-telling, feng shui immortal, in order to make it clear. So don't ask for treatment, ask also don't understand.
