五脏之有脾胃。犹五行之有土也。天一生水。得土之五而成六。地二生火。得土之五而
成七
。天三生木。得土之五而成八。地四生金。得土之五而成九。天五生土。复得土之五而成十
。五行无土。不能成五行。五脏无脾胃。不能资五脏。脾胃者。五脏之本也。心肝肺肾不能
容饮食。能容之者。脾与胃也。饮食入于脾胃。而精气行焉。味之咸者。先入于肾。所谓水
得土而成水也。味之苦者。先入于心。所谓火得土而成火也。味之酸者。先入于肝。所谓木
得土而成木也。味之辛者。先入于肺。所谓金得土而成金也。味之甘者。本宫受之。而实所
以调和五脏。所谓土又得土而后成也。夫然后肾水常滋。心火常净。肝木调达。肺金清润
。而周身脉络无不贯通。病无自而作矣。故善保身。惟养脾胃而已。若不节劳即伤脾。而四
肢于是乎倦怠。不节食即伤胃。而中脘于是乎痞塞。湿土之气郁而不发。则鼓胀黄胆之疾成
。湿土之气溃而下注。则痢疾泻泄之病作。而脾胃之症此为极矣。不但已也。脾胃一伤
。则
五脏皆无生气。由是为腰痛。为烦渴。为膀胱胀满。而肾斯病矣。为恍惚。为怔忡。为烦燥
。而心始病矣。为吞酸。为吐酸。为胁胀。为多怒。而肝始病矣。为咳嗽。为喘急。为呃逆
。而肺始病矣。五脏之病。虽亦有自为病者。未可皆归罪于脾胃也。而病之始于脾胃者居多
焉。人其可以不调理脾胃乎。要而言之。饮食劳倦。皆宜有节。而二者之间又以节饮食为至
要盖胃居脾下。饮食之所聚也。而克化之权。则在于脾。脾覆乎胃运阖辟之机。无一时而不
动。胃火上升。脾火下降。气常温暖是以饮食易消。若嗜味而过饱。则充塞胃口。上碍于脾
。脾虽欲动。不能动矣。其能以克化乎。此所以调理脾胃。又莫先饮食之节也。

五脏之中有脾胃，就像五行之中有土一样。天一生水，得到土的五行之气而成为六；地二生火，得到土的五行之气而成为七；天三生木，得到土的五行之气而成为八；地四生金，得到土的五行之气而成为九；天五生土，再得到土的五行之气而成为十。五行如果没有土，就不能成就五行；五脏如果没有脾胃，就不能滋养五脏。脾胃，是五脏的根本。心、肝、肺、肾不能容纳饮食，能够容纳饮食的是脾和胃。饮食进入脾胃，精气便由此运行。味道咸的食物，先入于肾，这就是所谓的水得土而成水；味道苦的食物，先入于心，这就是所谓的火得土而成火；味道酸的食物，先入于肝，这就是所谓的木得土而成木；味道辛的食物，先入于肺，这就是所谓的金得土而成金；味道甘的食物，本宫（脾）受纳它，实际上是用来调和五脏的，这就是所谓的土又得土而后成。这样之后，肾水常滋润，心火常清净，肝木调达舒畅，肺金清润，全身的脉络没有不贯通的，疾病也就无从产生了。所以善于保养身体的人，只在于调养脾胃罢了。如果不节制劳累就会损伤脾，四肢因此倦怠无力；如果不节制饮食就会损伤胃，中脘部位因此痞满堵塞。湿土之气郁结而不能发散，就会形成鼓胀、黄疸的疾病；湿土之气溃散而下注，就会引发痢疾、泄泻的病证，这是脾胃病症的极致了。不仅如此，脾胃一旦受伤，五脏就都没有生气机了。因此出现腰痛、烦渴、膀胱胀满，肾脏就开始生病了；出现恍惚、心悸、烦躁，心脏就开始生病了；出现吞酸、吐酸、胁肋胀满、易怒，肝脏就开始生病了；出现咳嗽、气喘急促、呃逆，肺部就开始生病了。五脏的疾病，虽然也有自身直接发病的情况，但不能都归罪于脾胃。然而，疾病始于脾胃的情况占大多数。人们怎么能不调理脾胃呢？总而言之，饮食和劳倦都应该有节制，而在二者之间，又以节制饮食为最重要。因为胃位于脾之下，是饮食聚集的地方，而消化腐熟的权利，则在脾。脾覆盖在胃之上，运化开阖的机制，没有一时一刻不在运动。胃火上升，脾火下降，气机常常温暖，所以饮食容易消化。如果嗜好美味而过饱，就会充塞胃口，向上阻碍脾的功能，脾虽然想要运化，却无法运动了，它还能进行消化吗？这就是为什么调理脾胃，没有比节制饮食更优先的了。

Among the Five Zang Organs, there are the Spleen and Stomach, just as among the Five Elements there is Earth. Heaven generates Water at One; receiving the energy of Earth (Five), it becomes Six. Earth generates Fire at Two; receiving the energy of Earth (Five), it becomes Seven. Heaven generates Wood at Three; receiving the energy of Earth (Five), it becomes Eight. Earth generates Metal at Four; receiving the energy of Earth (Five), it becomes Nine. Heaven generates Earth at Five; receiving the energy of Earth (Five), it becomes Ten. Without Earth, the Five Elements cannot be completed; without the Spleen and Stomach, the Five Zang Organs cannot be nourished. The Spleen and Stomach are the root of the Five Zang Organs. The Heart, Liver, Lungs, and Kidneys cannot accommodate food and drink; only the Spleen and Stomach can. When food and drink enter the Spleen and Stomach, essence and qi circulate. Salty flavors first enter the Kidney, which is water being formed through earth. Bitter flavors first enter the Heart, which is fire being formed through earth. Sour flavors first enter the Liver, which is wood being formed through earth. Pungent flavors first enter the Lungs, which is metal being formed through earth. Sweet flavors are received by their home palace (Spleen) and actually serve to harmonize the Five Zang Organs, which is earth being formed through earth. Only then does Kidney Water remain moist, Heart Fire remain pure, Liver Wood remain smooth and unobstructed, and Lung Metal remain clear and moist, ensuring that all meridians and collaterals throughout the body are connected, and diseases have no origin. Therefore, those who excel in preserving health focus solely on nurturing the Spleen and Stomach. If one does not moderate labor, the Spleen is injured, leading to fatigue in the four limbs. If one does not moderate diet, the Stomach is injured, leading to fullness and blockage in the Zhongwan region. If the Qi of Damp-Earth stagnates and fails to disperse, disorders such as abdominal distension (Gu Zhang) and jaundice (Huang Dan) arise. If the Qi of Damp-Earth collapses and flows downward, dysentery (Li Ji) and diarrhea (Xie Xie) occur. These represent the extreme of Spleen and Stomach disorders. Moreover, once the Spleen and Stomach are damaged, the Five Zang Organs lose their vital Qi. Consequently, lower back pain, vexation and thirst, and bladder fullness occur, indicating Kidney disease. Confusion, palpitations (Zhong Kong), and irritability occur, indicating Heart disease. Acid regurgitation, vomiting acid, hypochondriac distension, and excessive anger occur, indicating Liver disease. Cough, wheezing, and hiccups occur, indicating Lung disease. Although diseases of the Five Zang Organs may originate independently, they cannot all be blamed on the Spleen and Stomach. However, most diseases begin with the Spleen and Stomach. How can people neglect regulating the Spleen and Stomach? In summary, both diet and labor should be moderated, but among the two, moderating diet is paramount. The Stomach resides below the Spleen and is the gathering place for food and drink, while the power of digestion lies with the Spleen. The Spleen covers the Stomach, and its mechanism of transportation and transformation operates continuously without pause. Stomach Fire ascends, Spleen Fire descends, and the Qi remains warm, facilitating easy digestion of food. If one indulges in rich flavors and overeats, it clogs the stomach opening and obstructs the Spleen from above. Although the Spleen wishes to function, it cannot move, and thus cannot digest. This is why, in regulating the Spleen and Stomach, nothing takes precedence over dietary moderation.
