Functions of Lungs (Metal)
Governs Qi and Respiration
The first way that the Lungs govern Qi is by taking in air or Pure Qi and exhaling used, impure, or Dirty Qi. This constant exchange in the cycles of breathing maintain the correct function of all body's physiological processes that need Qi.
The Lungs are also responsible for the actual formation of Qi. Food Qi (Gu Qi 谷气) is taken by the Spleen and directed to the Lungs where it combines with inhaled air (with help from Yuan Qi [元气] of Kidneys) to form Zong Qi (宗气), which is also called Qi of the Chest or Gathering Qi.
The Zong Qi regulates involuntary movement of Heart and Lungs in turn is nourished by the Qi of the Heart and Lung. The Lungs then spread this Qi all over the body
Simultaneously formed: "Upright" or "normal" Qi (Zhen Qi) which is divided into Ying and Wei parts.
Lungs open to the Exterior, hence are called the "Tender Organ" because they are vulnerable to attack by exogenous pathogens.
Think for a moment, which configurations of bazi chart can lead to a person out of breathe easily ?
They're basically moments in which you're in touch with the meaning of life,
when your relationship to the rest of the universe makes sense.
