The seven emotions qī qíng · 七情

Joy, anger, worry, pensiveness, grief, fear and fright are described as affecting the organ systems — anger the Liver, pensiveness the Spleen, fear the Kidney, and so on.

This is one of the parts of TCM that modern readers find easiest to take seriously, because the observation that emotional states affect physical health is not controversial. What is specific to TCM is the mapping and the vocabulary.

喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊被描述为会影响脏腑系统——怒伤肝、思伤脾、恐伤肾等。

这是现代读者最容易接受的部分之一，因为"情绪影响身体"本身并无争议。中医的特殊之处在于它的对应关系与术语体系。
