Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the physiological function of the spleen, which is regarded as "the foundation of the latter day". Modern medicine believes that the spleen is the largest immune organ in the human body, and has the functions of making blood, breaking blood and storing blood. However, the spleen is not a particularly important organ for human life. In ancient times, the spleen was called a "mysterious organ", indicating that its exact function was not yet understood. Aristotle had already pointed out that the spleen was not necessary for the maintenance of human life. This observation has remained essentially unchanged to this day, which shows that its origins go back a long way. This understanding is very different from the understanding of the function of the "spleen" in Chinese medicine.
