[tcm-facts]

Wu-zang (五臟) liu-fu (六腑)

Wu-zang represents the 5 central organs of the body: the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Liu-fu: gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, san-zhao

Each wu-zang is a complimentary pair to a liu-fu, so if sickness occurs in one of the wu-zang, the corresponding liu-fu will show symptoms too.

More on each wu-zang and liu-fu later, so stay tuned for future posts!

Teach Me How to Forget Her

Skinny clouds float in the sky, And thin Breeze billows across the earth. Ah! The wind tousles my hair, Tell me, how do I forget her?

Moonbeams kiss the sea surface, And Wave Crests caress the moonlight. Ah! Silver night as sweet as honey, Tell me, how do I forget her?

Fallen Petals tenderly flow, And Fish beneath gently follow. Ah! What are you saying Swallow? Tell me, how do I forget her?

Withered trees tremble in the cold zephyr, And Wildfire blazes under dusk azure. Ah! Some unset sun still shines from the west, Tell me, how do I forget her?

-Liu Fu

天上飘着些微云， 地上吹着些微风。 啊！ 微风吹动了我的头发， 教我如何不想她？

月光恋爱着海洋， 海洋恋爱着月光。 啊！这般蜜也似的银夜。 教我如何不想她？

水面落花慢慢流， 水底鱼儿慢慢游。 啊！ 燕子你说些什么话？ 教我如何不想她？

枯树在冷风里摇， 野火在暮色中烧。 啊！西天还有些儿残霞， 教我如何不想她？
