The spleen and stomach jointly preside over the digestion and absorption of food, but each has its own characteristics. The stomach is responsible for receiving, and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation; the stomach qi is responsible for descending, allowing food and its waste to descend, while the spleen qi is responsible for ascending, so the essence of food can nourish the whole body; the stomach likes moisture and hates dryness, while the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. This kind of acceptance and transformation, rise and fall, moistening and dryness, complements each other and is a unity of opposites.
