CORE DEFINITION

The lung acts like a prime minister, assisting the monarch (the heart) in governing the entire body. It manages the rhythm of respiration and the movement of qi and blood (governing regulation).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

System clock. The speed of the heartbeat, the depth of breathing, and the distribution of body fluids are all controlled by this 'metronome' of the lung. Edema and arrhythmia often indicate that the 'prime minister' has failed in its duties, causing the rhythm to become disordered. Governing regulation is not only about treating respiration but also about adjusting the overall rhythm.

The lung assists the heart in issuing commands, governs the qi of the whole body and respiration, and regulates the rhythm of qi, blood, and body fluids (governing regulation), just as a prime minister oversees all officials and coordinates the rhythm, ensuring that the heart's blood vessels and the body's rhythms are orderly.
