The main function of the mind and the mind

The meaning of consciousness refers to the mental state, consciousness, thinking and activity. From the point of view of modern medical physiology, human's mental activity is dominated by the brain. 

The brain view of ancient China, such as the "classic" that the brain is "smart house", "Ming - that the brain is the house of God", Wang Qingren emphasized the human machine memory, not in the heart and brain. So why is the study of brain function attributable to heart? A is mainly due to Chinese Tibet because of the theory as the five internal organs as the center of the motherland medicine machine body and the external environment in the overall balance of the environment, is the basis for the existence of human body to the balance, coordination, unity, is the main contact and conduction on the "leading role" and to achieve. The mind is the commander of human life and occupies the first place in the Zang and Fu organs. It can not only on the outside world for storing essence without leakage, alternations between emptiness and Tibet to reflect, to produce a spirit including moving, and the body organs, leading role, regulation for the main, the viscera. But the brain also must depend on the efforts of John Ruyang, in order to play its function, that is to say as was the material basis of blood, and blood is the heart and. It is obvious that the function of the mind is closely related to the function of the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, the heart is full of Qi and blood, but the mind is clear, quick thinking, energetic. If the event of disease, often palpitations, insomnia, upset, or frightened Ti delirium, coma, or anger over sugatagarbha symptoms. Such as the lack of heart Yang, see palpitation and fear; heart Yin deficiency, palpitation and irritability, insomnia, forgetfulness, heart yang hyperactivity, see crying endlessly or mad, evil into the pericardium or see blinded judgment, Shenhun delirium, tongue stiff tongue and other symptoms. From the clinical medication point of view, "Qingxin purging fire", "clear the camp and open the mouth" drugs have the effect of sedation and refreshment. Therefore, the ancients attached the mental activities of the brain to the heart, called "the heart to hide the gods", "the heart, the spirit, the house."". It can be seen that the "heart" in Chinese medicine, in addition to the function of the circulatory system, also includes some functions of the central nervous system. The so-called "heart governs the mind", which is equivalent to the function of the brain.
