Xīnbāo 心包 — Pericardium channel-entry target
Pericardium network affinity
The Pericardium channel-entry label is used in modern channel-entry lists for the Heart-protective network. Because the ontology has no separate pericardium tag, the point carries the broader organ and meridian tags; its chest location is a target-organ projection, not a claim about the pericardial sac.
