Yang deficiency of LV and HT: Should we ignore them as oddities?

[Guest guest]

Hi Par, All,

 

In THEORY, each organ has a Yang and Yin aspect. So, in THEORY, each

organ should have the possibility of having a Yang Xu and a Yin Xu.

 

In PRACTICE, because the concept of LV Yang Xu and LU Yang Xu are

rare in the literature (as assessed by WWW hits - see below), should we

ignore them completely?

 

If not, would those of you literate in Chinese care to summarise the Chinese

data for LV & LU Yang Xu for the List?

 

The relevant URLS are:

LV Yang Xu: " " : http://tinyurl.com/yry6fm (555 hits)

and

HT Yang Xu: " " : http://tinyurl.com/37ksfv (535 hits)

 

Google-searches suggest that the CONCEPT of liver-yang-xu and lung-

yang-xu are rare, relative to the CONCEPTS kidney-yang-xu, spleen-yang-

xu and heart-yang-xu.

 

The number of Google hits for the CONCEPT of Yang Xu for each of the 5

Zang organs are summarised below in decreasing citation order:
