TCM views the human body as an interconnected system of energies and functions. It emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang, as well as the flow of Qi (vital energy) through pathways known as meridians. Each organ is not only a physical entity but also has associated functions and emotions. For example, the liver is connected to anger and the heart to joy. This holistic view contrasts with the reductionist approach of Western medicine, which often focuses on specific organs or tissues.
