肝窍于目，心窍于舌，脾窍于口，肺窍于鼻，肾窍于耳，五脏之精气开窍于头上，是谓五官。
手之三阳，自手走头。足之三阳，自头走足。头为手足六阳之所聚会。五脏阴也，阴极生阳。阳性清
虚而亲上，清虚之极，神明出焉。五神发露，上开七窍，声色臭味，于此攸辨。官窍者，神气之门户也。
清阳上升，则七窍空灵。浊阴上逆，则五官窒塞。清升浊降，一定之位。人之少壮，清升而浊降，故
上虚而下实。人之衰老，清陷而浊逆，故下虚而上实。七窍之空灵者，以其上虚。五官之窒塞者，以其
上实。其实者，以其虚也。其虚者，以其实也。
肝属木，其色青，其臭臊，其味酸，其声呼，其液泣。心属火，其臭焦，其味苦，其声笑，其液汗，
其色赤。脾属土，其味甘，其声歌，其液涎，其色黄，其臭香。肺属金，其声哭，其液涕，其色白，其臭腥，
其味辛。肾属水，其液唾，其色黑，其臭
腐，其味咸，其声呻。盖肝主五色，五脏之色，皆肝气之所入也。入心为赤，入脾为黄，入肺为白，
入肾为黑。心主五臭，五脏之臭，皆心气之所入也。入脾为香，入肺为腥，入肾为腐，入肝为臊。脾主五味，
五脏之味，皆脾气之所入也。入肺为辛，入肾为咸，入肝为酸，入心为苦，肺主五声，五脏之声皆，肺气
之所入也。入肾为呻，入肝为呼，入心为言，入脾为歌。肾主五液，五脏之液，皆肾气之所入也。入肝为泪，
入心为汗，入脾为涎，入肺为涕。
肝开窍于目，心开窍于舌，脾开窍于口，肺开窍于鼻，肾开窍于耳。五脏的精气上注于头部，形成五官。
手部的三阳经（手阳明大肠经、手少阳三焦经、手太阳小肠经），从手部走向头部。足部的三阳经（足阳明胃经、足少阳胆经、足太阳膀胱经），从头部走向足部。头部是手足六条阳经汇聚的地方。五脏属于阴，阴气极盛则转化为阳气。阳气性质清轻虚空而趋向上升，当清虚达到极致时，神明便由此产生。五种神志表现显露，向上开启七窍（眼、耳、鼻、口、前后二阴，此处主要指头面七孔），声音、颜色、气味、味道，在此得以辨别。官窍，是神气出入的门户。
清阳之气上升，则七窍空灵通畅。浊阴之气上逆，则五官闭塞不通。清阳上升、浊阴下降，这是固定的规律。人在年少壮实之时，清阳上升而浊阴下降，所以头部空虚而下部充实。人在衰老之时，清阳下陷而浊阴上逆，所以下部空虚而上部充实。七窍之所以空灵，是因为上部（头部）处于“虚”的状态；五官之所以闭塞，是因为上部处于“实”的状态。所谓的“实”，是由“虚”转化而来的；所谓的“虚”，也是由“实”转化而来的。
肝属木，其色为青，其气味为臊，其味为酸，其发声为呼，其分泌液为泪。心属火，其气味为焦，其味为苦，其发声为笑，其分泌液为汗，其色为赤。脾属土，其味为甘，其发声为歌，其分泌液为涎，其色为黄，其气味为香。肺属金，其发声为哭，其分泌液为涕，其色为白，其气味为腥，其味为辛。肾属水，其分泌液为唾，其色为黑，其气味为腐，其味为咸，其发声为呻。
大概而言，肝主管五色，五脏的颜色，都是肝气进入的结果。进入心变为赤色，进入脾变为黄色，进入肺变为白色，进入肾变为黑色。心主管五臭，五脏的气味，都是心气进入的结果。进入脾变为香气，进入肺变为腥味，进入肾变为腐味，进入肝变为臊味。脾主管五味，五脏的味道，都是脾气进入的结果。进入肺变为辛味，进入肾变为咸味，进入肝变为酸味，进入心变为苦味。肺主管五声，五脏的声音，都是肺气进入的结果。进入肾变为呻吟声，进入肝变为呼叫声，进入心变为言语声，进入脾变为歌声。肾主管五液，五脏的津液，都是肾气进入的结果。进入肝变为泪，进入心变为汗，进入脾变为涎，进入肺变为涕。
The Liver opens into the eyes, the Heart opens into the tongue, the Spleen opens into the mouth, the Lungs open into the nose, and the Kidneys open into the ears. The essence and qi of the Five Zang organs ascend to the head, forming the five sensory organs (Wu Guan).
The three Yang meridians of the hand (Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian) travel from the hands to the head. The three Yang meridians of the foot (Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian) travel from the head to the feet. The head is the gathering place for the six Yang meridians of the hands and feet. The Five Zang organs belong to Yin; when Yin reaches its extreme, it generates Yang. Yang Qi has the nature of being clear, light, and void, tending to ascend. When clarity and emptiness reach their peak, Shen Ming (Spiritual Illumination) emerges. The five Shen (Spiritual activities) manifest outwardly, opening the seven orifices upwards. Sounds, colors, odors, and flavors are distinguished here. The sensory organs and orifices are the portals for Shen Qi (Spirit Qi).
When Clear Yang ascends, the seven orifices remain empty and agile. When Turbid Yin rebels upward, the five sensory organs become obstructed. Clear Yang ascending and Turbid Yin descending is a fixed principle. In youth and vigor, Clear Yang ascends and Turbid Yin descends, resulting in emptiness above and fullness below. In old age and decline, Clear Yang sinks and Turbid Yin rebels, resulting in emptiness below and fullness above. The emptiness and agility of the seven orifices are due to the "emptiness" above. The obstruction of the five sensory organs is due to the "fullness" above. This "fullness" arises from "emptiness," and this "emptiness" arises from "fullness."
The Liver belongs to Wood; its color is Green (Qing); its odor is Pungent/Fishy (Sao); its flavor is Sour; its vocalization is Shouting (Hu); its fluid is Tears. The Heart belongs to Fire; its odor is Scorched (Jiao); its flavor is Bitter; its vocalization is Laughing (Xiao); its fluid is Sweat; its color is Red. The Spleen belongs to Earth; its flavor is Sweet; its vocalization is Singing (Ge); its fluid is Saliva (Xian); its color is Yellow; its odor is Fragrant (Xiang). The Lungs belong to Metal; its vocalization is Crying (Ku); its fluid is Nasal Mucus (Ti); its color is White; its odor is Fishy (Xing); its flavor is Acrid/Pungent (Xin). The Kidneys belong to Water; its fluid is Spittle (Tuo); its color is Black; its odor is Putrid (Fu); its flavor is Salty; its vocalization is Groaning (Shen).
Generally speaking, the Liver governs the five colors; the colors of the Five Zang organs are all results of Liver Qi entering them. Entering the Heart becomes Red; entering the Spleen becomes Yellow; entering the Lungs becomes White; entering the Kidneys becomes Black. The Heart governs the five odors; the odors of the Five Zang organs are all results of Heart Qi entering them. Entering the Spleen becomes Fragrant; entering the Lungs becomes Fishy; entering the Kidneys becomes Putrid; entering the Liver becomes Pungent/Fishy. The Spleen governs the five flavors; the flavors of the Five Zang organs are all results of Spleen Qi entering them. Entering the Lungs becomes Acrid; entering the Kidneys becomes Salty; entering the Liver becomes Sour; entering the Heart becomes Bitter. The Lungs govern the five sounds; the sounds of the Five Zang organs are all results of Lung Qi entering them. Entering the Kidneys becomes Groaning; entering the Liver becomes Shouting; entering the Heart becomes Speech; entering the Spleen becomes Singing. The Kidneys govern the five fluids; the fluids of the Five Zang organs are all results of Kidney Qi entering them. Entering the Liver becomes Tears; entering the Heart becomes Sweat; entering the Spleen becomes Saliva; entering the Lungs becomes Nasal Mucus.
