脾胃論

Gao Li’s 脾胃論 invites listeners into a classic exploration of the spleen and stomach—the foundational organs of health in traditional Chinese medicine. Part scholarly exposition, part medical manual, this audiobook traces how脾胃 (spleen-stomach) qi governs digestion, fluid metabolism, the five tastes, and the balance of yin-yang across the five viscera, drawing on canonical ideas from the Huangdi Neijing and later commentators. Rich in physiological theory and clinical insight, 脾胃論 explains why many diseases are traced back to digestive imbalance, how emotions and seasonal factors influence stomach qi, and why dietary and lifestyle regulation are central to longevity. The text uses vivid maritime metaphors—referring to the “digestive sea” and channels of flow—so it reads like a science work that sometimes feels as expansive as a sea story, blending empirical observation with philosophical depth. Ideal for students and practitioners of TCM, historians of medicine, or curious listeners interested in holistic digestive health and classical medical thought, this audiobook offers a rigorous yet accessible guide to ancient dietary therapy and pathogenesis. Listen to deepen your understanding of how classical Chinese science conceptualized the body’s central processing center and practical strategies to preserve health.
