According to ancient Chinese thought and medicine, there is no separation between the body, spirit and emotions. The book “Emotions and Passions at the Joint of Earth and Heaven”, based on chapter 39 Neu-Tszin Su-wen and on chapters 8 and 22 Neu-Tzin Lin-shu suggests looking at a person at the levels of three forces-heaven, man and earth. A person is expressed at the level of the sky, like 5 roots of spirit-shen (Ben Shen)-Shen, Hun, and, Poe, Zhi.

Throughout life, Ben Shen organize the function of the human body and emotions, based on the possibilities that he inherited. A person at a person level combines the subtle influences of the sky with the forms of the earth with the help of 5 emotions that express and regulate it. A person at the Earth level is expressed using 5 organs-function (Zan)-a heart, lungs, spleen, liver and kidneys.
