This Chapter Deals with Zhang And Fu Viscera and also with extraordinary organs. this concept understanding is very important in TCM.
while the things to be kept in mind is:-
Zang-and-fu-viscera in traditional Chinese medicine are considered not only anatomical units, but also conceptually are a part of the body' s physiology and pathology.
Therefore though the modern name for the organ: heart, lung, spleen, liver, kidney, are utilized in TCM today. However, the explanations of their physiological functions are widely different from those of modern medicine.

well this chapter deals with six Fu and Triple Jiao. let me give some brifing about it before reading this chapter.
Six fu :-The six fu contains the gallblander,the stomach,the large intestine,the small intestine,the urinary bladder and the triple jiao.their common characteristic is excretion without storage,that is to say,to digest and transmit water and food and to discharge the waste.since the six fu has to be emtpy to perform transporting and transforming food function well,the moving styles of qi of six fu should be downward and unobstructed.
The Triple-Jiao:- The term “triple jiao” is a peculiar phrase in the visceral manifestation theory of TCM. It collectively refers to the upper- jiao, middle- jiao, and lower- jiao, and is one of the six fu-viscera.its meridian connects with the pericardium, with which it is externally-internally related.

This chapter is about lungs.
As we know that The lung is located in the thorax and connects with the trachea while opening into the nose. It communicates directly with the_outside world through the lung system.
In TCM It occupies the uppermost position among the viscera and is known as "florid canopy" ,of which its original meaning denotes the delicate umbrella shape for carriage of ancient emperors. here, the lung is a main organ controlling respiration and gas exchange.
In TCM The lung is known as "florid canopy", communicating directly with the outside world. The lung is one of the five zang-viscera, pertaining to the interior. It, however, differs from the four zang-viscera in that it is not only situated in The thorax cavity, occupying the topmost position among the five zang-viscera, and known as the appellation of "florid canopy"; but it also communicates with the natural world through the throat and nose. Wind, cold, dryness, heat evils in the natural world, especially warm-heat evil-qi, mostly attack the lung via the mouth and nose.This leads to the pathological changes and failure of lung-qi and defense-qi in dispersion as well as the dysfunction of opening of the lung.

Some things might be hard for you to understand in TCM if you are not taught by a teacher having good knowledge in it, but if you go through it again and again or you could catch it's principle it would be much easier.....hope it wont be boring.. enjoy
