Lower burner
下焦 〔下焦〕 xià jiāo
The part of the triple burner that includes the kidney, bladder, large intestine, and small intestine, in their function of drawing of fluids to be discharged in the form of urine (and the discharge of solid waste through the anus). The intimate relationship between the kidney and the liver means that the latter organ is to some extent considered to be located in the lower burner. More at triple burner.
