Liver and gallbladder (肝膽: the first character has the fanqie 古安 \[gu + an / gān\]. The essence of wood. The Baihu tong says: "It resembles wood having leaves." Wang Shuhe says: "The liver and gallbladder form a viscera-bowel pair; their diagnostic manifestation is in the eyes, so when there is repletion heat in the liver, the eyes become red and dim." The second character has the fanqie 答敢 \[da + gan / dǎn\]. The Baihu tong says: "The gallbladder is the bowel of the liver." The Maijing says: "When the gallbladder is diseased, the spirit is unanchored." Both characters are formed with 肉 \[flesh\] as the radical and 干 and 詹 as their phonetic components; 詹 is pronounced 占. They are phono-semantic characters.)
