鼻塞皆属肺。经云∶肺气通于鼻，肺和则鼻能知香臭矣。又云∶五气入鼻，藏于心肺，心肺有病，而鼻为
之不利也。又云∶西方白色，入通于肺，开窍于鼻，藏精于肺。又云∶肺主臭，在脏为肺，在窍为鼻是也。
〔垣〕金匮真言论云∶西方白色，入通于肺，开窍于鼻，藏精于肺。夫十二经脉三百六十五络，其气血皆
上走于面而走空窍，其精阳气上走于目而为睛，其别气走于耳而为听，其宗气出于鼻而为臭。《难经》云∶肺气
通于鼻，肺和则能知香臭矣。夫阳气宗气者，皆胃中生发之气也，其名虽异，其理则一。若因饥饱劳役，损脾
胃生发之气，既弱其营运之气，不能上升，邪塞孔窍，故鼻不利而不闻香臭也。宜养胃气，实营气，阳气宗气
上升，鼻管则通矣。又一说，《难经》云∶心主五臭，肺主诸气，鼻者肺窍，反闻香臭者，何也？盖以窍言之肺
也，以用言之心也。因卫气失守，寒邪客于头面，鼻亦受之不能为用，是不闻香臭矣。故经曰∶心肺有病，鼻
为之不利。洁古曰∶视听明而清凉，香臭辨而温暖者是也。治法宜先散寒邪，后补卫气，使心肺之气得交通，
则鼻利而闻香臭矣。

Nasal congestion is attributed to the Lung. The Classics state: "Lung Qi connects with the nose; when Lung Qi is harmonious, the nose can distinguish odors." It also states: "The five qi enter through the nose and are stored in the Heart and Lung. When the Heart and Lung have disease, the nose becomes obstructed." Furthermore: "The West corresponds to white, internally connecting to the Lung, opening into the nose, and storing essence in the Lung." Additionally: "The Lung governs smell; in the zang organs it is the Lung, and in the orifices it is the nose."
[Li Dongyuan] *Jingui Zhenyan Lun* (Treatise on the True Theory of the Golden Cabinet) states: "The West corresponds to white, internally connecting to the Lung, opening into the nose, and storing essence in the Lung." The twelve meridians and three hundred and sixty-five collaterals all direct their Qi and Blood upward to the face and through the orifices. Their refined Yang Qi ascends to the eyes to enable vision; their branch Qi descends to the ears to enable hearing; and their Zong Qi (Pectoral Qi) emerges from the nose to enable smell. *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) states: "Lung Qi connects with the nose; when Lung Qi is harmonious, one can distinguish odors." The so-called Yang Qi and Zong Qi are both Qi generated and emitted from the Stomach. Although their names differ, their principles are identical. If excessive hunger or fullness, or labor and fatigue, damage the generating Qi of the Spleen and Stomach, causing the transporting and transforming Qi to weaken and fail to ascend, pathogenic factors will block the orifices. Consequently, the nose becomes obstructed and unable to perceive odors. One should nourish Stomach Qi and consolidate Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi), allowing Yang Qi and Zong Qi to ascend, thereby unblocking the nasal passages. Another perspective: *Nan Jing* states that the Heart governs the five smells and the Lung governs all Qi. Since the nose is the orifice of the Lung, why does it perceive smells? From the perspective of the orifice, it is the Lung; from the perspective of function, it is the Heart. Due to the failure of Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) to guard, Cold Pathogens invade the head and face, affecting the nose so it cannot function, resulting in an inability to smell. Thus, the Classics say: "When the Heart and Lung have disease, the nose becomes obstructed." Zhang Jiegu said: "Clear vision and hearing imply coolness and clarity; distinguishing odors implies warmth." The treatment method should first dispel Cold Pathogens, then tonify Wei Qi, allowing the Qi of the Heart and Lung to communicate freely, thus clearing the nose and restoring the sense of smell.
