Language Points 1. the Chapter of Six Sections of Discussion on Visceral Manifestation in Su Wen 《素问●六节藏象论》 2.“ xiang means image. The viscera are stored inside the body and the image is manifested outwardly. For that reason, it is called visceral manifestation. ” “象,形象也。藏居于内,形见于外,故日藏象。” 3. The common physiological function of the five zang-organs is to transform and store essence ; while that of the six fu-organs is to receive , transport and transform water and food 五脏的共同生理特点,是化生和贮藏精气;六腑的共同生理特点,是受盛和传化水谷。 4. So in the Chapter of Special Discussion on Five Zang-Organs in Su Wen, it was described that “the so called five zang-organs refer to organs that only store essence but not excrete it; thatis the reason why they can be full but not solid. The six fu-organs are in charge oftransporting and transforming food, so they can be solid but not full. The reason is that thestomach becomes full and the intestines remain empty when food is taken into the stomachthrough the mouth; the intestines become solid and the stomach gets empty when food istransported downward. That is what to be full but not to be solid and to be solid but not to befullmeans.” 所以《素问●五藏别论》说:“所谓五藏者,藏精气而不泻也,故满而不能实。六腑者，传化物而不藏,故实而不能满也。所以然者,水谷人口,则胃实而肠虚;食下，则肠实而胃虚。故曰,实而不满,满而不实也。” 5.“Essence is characterized by fullness and food by solidness. Since the five zang-organs only store essence, they can just be full, but not solid; the function of the six fu-organs is torесеіvе fооd аnd but nоt tо ѕtоrе еѕѕеnсе , thеу саn оnlу bе ѕоlіd but nоt full. 精气为满,水谷为实。五脏但藏精气,故满而不实;六腑则不藏精气,但受水谷,故实而不能满也。” 6. The eight-chi human body may be measured on the surface. After death, the body may be dissected and the texture of the zang-organs, the size of the fu-organs, the capacity of theintestines , the length of the arteries, the condition of the blood can also be observed . 八尺之士,皮肉在此,外可度量切循而得之,其死，可解剖而视之。其脏之坚脆,腑之大小,谷之多少,脉之长短,血之清浊....皆有大数。” 7. viscera inside the body must manifest themselves externally. “有诸内,必形诸外。’ 8. This is due to the fact that the viscera in the theory of visceral manifestation is not only a simple anatomical concept, but also a concept that generalizes the physiology and pathology of a certain system. 这是因为藏象学说中的脏腑,不单纯是一个解剖学的概念,更重要的则是概括了人体一系列的生理和病理学概念。
