Extended data:
Zang-fu organs and fu-fu organs cooperate with each other from the outside to the inside, with one zang-fu organ corresponding to one fu-fu organ, the zang-fu organ belonging to yin as the inside and the fu-fu organ belonging to yang as the outside. The exterior and interior of zang-fu organs are connected by meridians, that is, the meridians of zang-fu organs and fu-fu organs are connected by meridians and qi, so zang-fu organs and fu-fu organs can influence and change each other in pathological changes.
Zangxiang theory holds that the human body connects the five zang-fu organs, four limbs, seven orifices and two yin into an organic whole through the meridian system, and the pathological changes of the five zang-fu organs can be reflected to the outside through the five senses, nine orifices and meridians. Therefore, observing the external manifestations of diseases can help us understand the location of diseases, distinguish the attributes of diseases and pathogens, and grasp the excess and deficiency of dirty qi.
