Commentary states: The eyes belong to the Liver (Gan, 肝). The Liver receives blood to enable vision; thus, the visual function of the eyes must rely on blood. If injury by external objects causes the blood vessels to scatter and become disordered, then corrupted blood invades the eye, pouring into the pupil, damaging vision. If not treated early, it may lead to blindness; hence, it is called "Blood Pouring into the Pupil" (Xue Guan Tong Ren, 血灌瞳仁).
