Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Remember how 6 of the meridians are classified as Yin and 6 are classified as Yang? For example, the Liver is the Yin Wood meridian, and the Gallbladder is the Yang Wood meridian. The Kidney is the Yin Water meridian, and the Bladder is the Yang Water meridian. The organs also are classified as Yin and Yang. The solid organs (Zang) like the liver and kidneys are classified as Yin, and the hollow organs (Fu) like the Gallbladder and Bladder are classified as Yang. Zang organs are Yin; Fu organs are hollow. The other 3 pairs are: Zang heart and Fu small intestine. (Fire) Zang spleen and Fu stomach (Earth) Zang lung and Fu large intestine (Metal) The Fu organs really are hollow when compared to the Zang organs. Right now the terminology and concept of Zang (Yin) and Fu (Yang) organs aren't going to mean a lot to you. But later on this will. Note: All organs because they are Interior are considered Yin. But of these 12 organs, 6 are considered Yin and 6 Yang when compared among themselves. Just like with the meridians. Meridians are considered Yang because they're closer to the surface of the body than the organs are. But of the 12 meridians, 6 are Yin and 6 are Yang when compared to each other. Everything is relative. At the present time this won't make a lot of sense to you and seems like much to do about nothing (who cares?). But later on, as you learn more, it will all start to fit together. Victoria --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
