Five Zang-organs Harmonize Pitch: How the lost theory and technology of Huang Di Nei Jing can be applied to the modern clinical treatment

摘要

The phrase "Five Organs Harmonize Pitch" is from Su Wen Chapter 10 of Huang Di Nei Jing which states that five Organs harmonize pitch can be realized'. The theory of Five Organs Harmonize Pitch considers that the five organs: spleen, lung, liver, heart and kidney, each provide a pitch, or musical vibration. The five organs are relative to the five pitches of Chinese traditional music, Gong(do), Shang(rei), Jiao(mi), Zi(sou) and Yu(la). The five musical scales are the five pitches of the ancient Chinese five-tone scale and also relative to the five elements, earth, gold, wood, fire and water. These five elements and Ying-Yang are the important fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
