Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this paper is to study the metaphor that the liver is the admiral from which strategic planning is derived in ??Suwen Linglanmidianlun?? in relation to Liver function.
Methods : Annotations to the verse along with descriptions of strategic planning in classical texts and their relation were examined.
Results : Previous annotators described the Admiral organ and Strategic Planning separately, in which it is difficult to fully explain the totality the two. They cannot be separated from each other, and only when they are in dependence of each other can they become complete. Liver function as described in classical texts and contemporary text books such as detoxification and sterilization all embody this meaning of strategic planning of an admiral.
Conclusions : Reinterpretation of the Liver function based on an integrated understanding of the Liver as described in ??Suwen Linglanmidianlun?? is required. This will allow for better understanding of what the metaphor means, and to better connect this description to Liver physiology for an integrated understanding of the Liver itself in Korean Medicine.
