Blood and body fluids qì xuè jīn yè · 气血津液

Xue (Blood) and Jin Ye (fluids) are described as the material, nourishing side of the body, paired with Qi as the moving, warming side. The phrasing is almost always relational: "Qi moves Blood, Blood carries Qi."

Thin fluids are said to moisten skin and muscle; thicker fluids nourish joints, marrow and the sense organs. In TCM reasoning these categories explain dryness, swelling and poor circulation patterns — again as a model, not as laboratory findings.

血与津液被描述为身体"物质、滋养"的一面,与"气"的推动、温煦一面相对。经典中的表述几乎总是关系式的:"气行血,血载气"。

清稀的津液润养肌肤肌肉,稠厚的液则滋养关节、骨髓与官窍。中医用这些范畴来解释干燥、肿胀、运行不畅等证候——同样是一种模型,而非实验室发现。
