Heart is averse to heat

心恶热 〔心惡熱〕xīn wù rè

The heart is vulnerable to heat. The heart is the fire viscus; it governs the blood and vessels. When heat is pronounced, heart blood is easily damaged. Also, the heart governs the bright spirit; high fever is often accompanied by clouded spirit, delirious speech, and mania. This is why the heart is averse to heat.
