It is stated that the Spleen resides in the Central Region (Zhongzhou) of the body. As the "Lone Zang" (Gu Zang), it irrigates and nourishes the four surrounding organs. When Spleen Qi is abundant, all four other Zang organs receive adequate nourishment; however, when the Spleen is deficient and afflicted by pathogenic factors, Qi rebels upward to invade the Heart, resulting in particularly severe pain. Ancient formulas describe this pain as urgent and piercing, like being stabbed with a needle or awl, which constitutes the syndrome of Pi Xin Tong (Spleen-Heart Pain).
