The Heart
Simjang
한글 심장 · Pinyin Xin Zang
The sovereign among the officials — a lotus bud hung under the lung, ruling summer and fire, joy and the tongue, the vessels and the sweat, and the spirit that leaves it at death
心臟
The second organ chapter, in the same fourteen headings as the liver's with one added. The heart is a lotus bud not yet open, twelve nyang, hung point-down beneath the lung, with seven holes and three hairs in it — and the number of holes, the tradition said, is the measure of a person's wisdom, seven in a sage and one in a fool. It rules summer and the days byeong and jeong, fire and heat and the colour red, the tongue and the vessels and the complexion, joy and sweat and laughter. Its injury is worry and thought; its disease is pain in the chest, sorrow, and sudden dizziness; its vacuity is grief and its repletion laughter that will not stop. The chapter's added section is the Lingshu's question of why the heart's channel alone has no transport point: because the heart is the sovereign and cannot receive evil, and what strikes at it strikes the pericardium instead. The treatment is sourness to gather it and saltiness to soften it, and the six formulas are three to feed it and three to drain it — including Danxi's coptis with a pinch of cinnamon, which makes the heart and kidney meet in a moment. The signs of its end are a face black as lacquer and the eyes staring while the head shakes.
3.1 The Form of the Heart 心形象

The heart weighs twelve nyang, has seven holes and three hairs within, holds three hop of essential juice, and governs the storing of the spirit.
Clinical note임상 주석
Twelve nyang is about half a kilo, and a heart weighs about three hundred grams. The seven holes and three hairs are the Nanjing's, and the next passage says what they were held to mean.

A person of the highest wisdom has a heart with seven openings and three hairs; of middling wisdom, five openings and two hairs; of lesser wisdom, three openings and one hair; an ordinary person, two openings and no hair; a fool, one opening; the lowest fool, one opening and very small. Where there is no opening the spirit has no door to go in and out by.
Clinical note임상 주석
Intelligence as anatomy — the more holes in the heart, the wiser. The idea is old enough to be in the Shiji, where Bi Gan's heart is cut out to see whether a sage's has seven holes, and the Bogam records the scale without comment. 心竅, the heart's openings, is still the tradition's word for the clarity of the mind, and 開竅 is what the acorus formulas do.

The cords of the five viscera communicate with the heart, and the heart communicates with the cords of the five viscera; the heart's cord and the cords of the five viscera are joined, and so when the five viscera are diseased the heart is affected first. Its cord attaches above to the lung. A branch of it goes from between the two lobes of the lung backward through the spine to the kidney, from the kidney to the bladder, and runs alongside the bladder's membranes to the place of urination — this is the lowest part.
Clinical note임상 주석
A cord from the heart to every organ, and one branch running down the spine to the bladder. The tradition's account of the great vessels, and the reason it gave for the heart being affected first in any disease: every organ is wired to it.

𩩲骬 is the xiphoid process — the Bogam glosses it as 心蔽骨, the bone that shields the heart — and the Lingshu reads the heart from it as the liver was read from the ribs.

A small heart is easily injured by worry; a large one, worry cannot injure. A high heart crowds into the lung, is oppressed 悗 is the same as 悶 and forgetful, and hard to open with words; a low one is easily injured by cold and easily frightened by words. A firm heart is at ease and holds fast; a brittle one is prone to wasting thirst and heat in the centre. An upright heart is harmonious and hard to injure; a tilted one wavers in its grip and has no steady charge.
Clinical note임상 주석
難開以言, 易恐以言 — hard to reach with words, easily frightened by them. The Lingshu's heart is the organ that words act on, and its size decides how. The Ojangyukbu chapter's 1.7 gave the five organs' characters; this is the heart's alone.

Fear, drowsiness, dreams of long journeys with the mind coming apart — the Lingshu's picture of a depleted heart, and the Dreams chapter took its dream of travel from here. The last line splits the psychoses by yin and yang: 癲 the withdrawn kind and 狂 the manic.

3.10 The Hand Lesser Yin Has No Transport Point 手少陰無輸

Translation영역
The Yellow Emperor said: why does the hand lesser yin channel alone have no transport point? Qi Bo said: the lesser yin is the heart's channel. The heart is the great master of the five viscera and six bowels; it is the emperor and the lodging of essence and spirit. The viscus is firm and solid and cannot admit evil; if it admitted it the heart would be injured, the injured heart would lose the spirit, and with the spirit gone there is death. So all evils that are in the heart are in the heart's wrapping network — the pericardium, the channel of the heart's master. Hence the lesser yin has no transport point. The Emperor said: if the lesser yin has no transport point, does the heart not fall ill? Qi Bo said: its outer channel falls ill and the viscus does not, so one takes its channel alone, at the end of the sharp bone behind the palm that is, the point Sinmun.
Clinical note임상 주석
The section the heart has and no other organ does. The Lingshu's rule that the heart cannot be diseased — anything that reaches it kills — and so the pericardium takes its illnesses and its needling. Sinmun (神門, HT7) is the one point the heart's own channel gets, and every chapter that needles for the heart uses it.
The claim is the Body chapter's 1.8.2 — the sovereign must be bright — turned into an anatomical rule: the emperor is not touched.

Clinical note임상 주석
Sour to gather, salty to soften — the heart's two rules, as sweet and acrid were the liver's at 2.10.1. 心苦緩, the heart suffers from slackness: the organ of fire is hurt by being let go, and sourness pulls it in.
