Xiang(象)-thinking and Naming of Fiver Zang Viscera
but are determined by Xiang(象)-thinking. The side of these Chinese character such as Gan(干) of the liver(肝)
Bei(卑) of spleen(脾)
Fu(巿) of lung(肺) and Qian(臤) of kidney(肾) not only represent the pronunciation
but also are the main source of the meaning of four zang viscera. According to the anatomical structure observation and the thought of the five internal organs
the ancients used the method of image-like thinking to use the specific image of the "Gan"and "Fu"in life and the specific function of "Bei"and "Qian"images were used to name zang viscera.In view of this
the close relationship between object thinking and the establishment of Chinese medicine can be deeply understood.
