5.22

Large intestine (大膓): Read with the fanqie 除 + 良. The Bohu tong says: 'That there are the large intestine and the small intestine: [the small intestine] is the receptacle of the heart, and the large intestine is the receptacle of the lungs.' The Shiming says: '膓 (intestine) is the receptacle within the belly that circulates Qi.' In the Gujin zhengzi, 膓 derives from 肉 with 𬀷 providing the phonetic. The five viscera and six receptacles each have their respective associations.
