The lung is the noblest of the five zang organs, situated at the highest position, externally connected to the skin and hair. It is a delicate organ that is vulnerable to both cold and heat, and as a purifying organ, it cannot tolerate foreign substances. Therefore, both external and internal factors can easily injure the lung, leading to pathological changes. The lung governs qi and regulates respiration, so lung diseases are often characterized by disorders of qi's ascending and descending movements.
