About
The character "肺" primarily denotes the lung, with its structure combining the flesh radical 月 and the component 市, the latter historically providing a phonetic element whose relationship to the modern pronunciation fèi is no longer transparent. While its core meaning has always been the respiratory organ, in traditional Chinese medicine the term extends to a functional system encompassing respiration and the management of vital energy. The graphical form of the character has been standardized in this composition for an extended period.
