Gān 肝 — Liver channel-entry target

Liver network affinity

The Liver channel-entry category indicates affinity with the Liver network and its classical roles in storing blood and maintaining free coursing. The anatomical-right upper-abdominal dot follows the front-view convention but remains a functional target projection rather than an anatomical map of herbal action.
