序言 The best way to learn Traditional Chinese Medi-cine（TCM）is by referring to its original texts.Agenuine understanding of its classical texts is a trueknowledge of TCM.Father Claude Larre and Elisa-beth Rochat de 1a Vallde have done a good job intheir work previously,published.Their devotion toChinese culture and effort of teaching Chinese clas-sics deserve well—beloved and great appreciation.Based upon their commentary on the texts，somecomplementary and further illustrations of HuangdiNeijing，that is the best representative text of TCM，are offered in part one and two，often in direct quota-tions from their work.Believing with Thoreau that“anything living is easily and naturally expressed inpopular language，”I strive to communicate schol-arship with crisp narrative and sometimes playfulspirit.[10]
The theories of Chinese medicine have come froman accumulation of enormous experience and thenhave guided its practice in reverse.Thus its theoriespossess practicability in nature.Part Four introducessome practical significance of the Chinese Hearttheory.Several simple and useful methods that aremy personal hygiene can be practiced to prevent tension and diseaes.

The term“zang xiang”first appeared in the classical text，Huangdi Neijing（Canon of Internal Medicine）.Literally“zang refers to organs inside the body；xiang means image orphenomenon.Therefore，zang xiang refers tO the internal organsand the external manifestations of their physiological and patho-logical states.”[1]Nevertheless，the“zang”in Traditional ChineseMedicine does not exactly represent the anatomical organs.butsystematic groupings of physiological phenomena.
The theory of zang xiang mainly concerns two major typesof organs：the zang-organs and the fu-organs.“That is why it isalso known as‘the theory of zang-fu organs.’Zang-fu is a col-lective term for internal organs；there are five zang-organs andsix fu-organs.The common function of the five zang-organs is tostore essence，iing，which is refined food nutrient responsible formaintenance of lire activities.”[1]The common function of thesix fu-organs is“transmission and transformation；in charge ofdigestion.assimilation and elimination.[2]
“Body functions are attributed mainly to the five zang-organs——usually translated as viscera or solid organs：theHeart，Lung，Liver，Spleen，and Kidney.Understanding of theirfunctions was derived from external observation rather thananatomical study and bears little relation to standard Westernunderstanding.
