<< review queue entry 64720 - submitted by 'sl89' >> cf. 三焦; 六腑 Of the dictionaries I've seen, monolingual dictionaries generally describe each of the 三焦 as a body part 部位 which includes certain organs, while C-E dictionaries usually describe them as body cavities or parts of “the body cavity” which house certain organs. Their place in the human anatomy does seem to match quite closely the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_cavity), but in TCM they seem to be seen essentially as organs themselves, with specific functions and problems. 中焦 【Wenlin】n. 〈Ch. med.〉 body cavity between the diaphragm and the umbilicus 【Pleco】[NOUN/CHINESE MEDICINE] part of the body cavity between the diaphragm and the umbilicus housing the spleen, stomach, etc. 【MoE】中医上指膈下、脐部以上的部位。内有脾、胃等脏腑。主要功能为脾胃的消化转输，并为血液营养生化的来源。 【百度百科】中焦，人体部位名。三焦之一。三焦的中部，指上腹部分。它的主要功用是助脾胃，主腐熟水谷，泌糟粕，蒸津液，化精微，是血液营养生化的来源。 上焦 【Wenlin】n. 〈Ch. med.〉 body cavity above the diaphragm 【Pleco】[NOUN/CHINESE MEDICINE] part of the body cavity above the diaphragm housing the heart and lungs 【LAC】中医学指胃贲门或横膈膜以上部分之身体部位，包含心、肺、食道等器官，以及头颈部位。 【MoE】中医指横膈以上的部位，内含心、肺、食管等。主要功能为呼吸、血液循环等。 下焦 【Wenlin】n. 〈Ch. med.〉 the part of the body cavity below the umbilicus 【Pleco】[NOUN/CHINESE MEDICINE] the body cavity below the umbilicus, housing the bladder, kidneys and bowels 【LAC】中医将身体分为上、中、下三焦，下焦是指胃幽门以下的部位和器官。 【MoE】中医指脐以下到盆腔部分的器官，包括肾、小肠、大肠、肝、膀胱等。主要功能是吸收和排泻。 ---------------------------------------------- Editor: I don't agree entirely. For example: - the 下焦 is not the "part of the human body below the navel" because that would include the feet. - although monolingual dicts say things like 横膈膜以上部分之身体部位, I think 身体 in this context should be understood as "the trunk" rather than "the body", otherwise the eyes and the brain would be part of the 上焦, and I think that's not so. |
