阴阳五行、藏象与子午流注Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Zang-Fu Systems & The 24-Hour Qi Clock
Traditional Chinese Medicine views the human body as a microcosm of nature (天人合一). Rather than isolating anatomical parts, it tracks how Vital Substances (Qi 气, Blood 血, Jing 精, Fluids 津液) transform and circulate through five interconnected functional systems.
中医学以“天人相应”整体观为核心，不孤立看待局部解剖，而是通过阴阳消长、五行生克制化，洞察气、血、精、津液在五脏六腑与十二时辰中的动态流转。

Wood Phase (Mù)
Zang: 肝 (Liver) · Fu: 胆 (Gallbladder)Wood represents germination, upward growth, flexible expansion, and free-flowing movement (曲直). In the body, Liver Wood ensures the smooth, unobstructed flow of Qi, Blood, and emotions.
“木曰曲直”，象征春天草木萌发、向上向外舒展之性。在人体对应肝胆，主疏泄、喜条达而恶抑郁，统领全身气机之畅达与血液之贮藏调节。
