Commentary states: The spleen is the official responsible for storage and transport, and the stomach is the mansion where water and grain gather; the qi of the five zang organs and six fu organs all depend on this. If wind-dampness toxic factors invade its meridians, the spleen becomes weak and insufficient to support the other organs, while the stomach qi becomes deficient and rebels upward. Consequently, this causes chest and heart oppression and fullness, inability to swallow food and drink, thereby forming Hong Kong foot (a disease characterized by swelling and heaviness of the lower legs and weakness) accompanied by vomiting and regurgitation.
