Презентация на тему 三焦the triple warmer (sanjiao)

“triple warmer” is a large bowel containing all the

internal organs.
如明‧張介賓說：「三焦者，確有一腑，蓋脏腑之外，軀殼之內，包羅諸脏，一腔之大腑也。」
For instance, Zhang Jiebin, a medical man in the Ming dynasty, said, “Triple warmer is, in fact, a bowel. It is outside all the viscera and bowels but within the body, contains all the other organs and is the largest bowel within the body cavity.”

the term “triple warmer” is also used to locate

the body parts.
即膈以上的部位為上焦，包括心、肺；膈以下、臍以上的部位為中焦，包括脾、胃；臍以下為下焦，包括肝、肾、大小肠、膀胱、女子胞等。
The upper warmer is the portion of the body cavity above the diaphragm which houses the heart and the lung. The middle warmer is the portion between the diaphragm and umbilicus (navel) which houses the spleen and the stomach. The lower warmer is the portion below the umbilicus which houses the liver, the kidney, the urinary bladder, the intestines and the uterus.

it can be clearly seen that the liver is

an organ within the middle warmer.
但中医認為，肝肾同源，关係密切，故將肝肾同劃歸下焦。
But it is said that the liver is an organ within the lower warmer. Why? Because TCM believes that the liver and the kidney have the same source (a common source) and a close relationship, thus puts the liver into the lower warmer (together with the kidney).

of triple warmer control the activities of the qi

of the human body.
分开來說，上焦主呼吸、主宣发 (实指心、肺的功能)，即把積於胸中的「气」宣布、布达全身，若霧露之溉，故稱「上焦如霧」；
The upper warmer controls respiration, and activates the flow of vital energy, blood and body fluid (referring to, in fact, the functions of the heart and lung), i.e., it disperses pectoral qi accumulated in the chest to all parts of the body just as fog and dew moisten the earth. This is why TCM says that “The upper warmer is like a sprinkler for distributing nutrients and qi.”

in transportation and transformation (referring to in fact, the

functions of the spleen and stomach), i.e. it ferments water and food and transports and transforms food essence in order to produce vital energy and blood. Therefore, it is likened to a fermentation tun, where food is digested.

clear fluid from turbid fluid and discharges urine and

stool, (referring to, in fact, the functions of the kidney, the small intestine, the large intestine and the urinary bladder). These two physiological functions mentioned above are characterized by excreting wastes downwards and outwards. It is said that the lower warmer works like gutters, to filter and drain off waste and superfluous water.
