Spleen qì governs upbearing

脾气主升 〔脾氣主升〕 pí qì zhǔ shēng

The spleen, by its movement and transformation function, bears the essence of grain and water (food extracted from nutrients) upward. This upward movement is complementary and opposite to the downbearing of stomach qì, which carries food down from the stomach into the intestines.
