Using the metaphors of their combined spiritual grounding, the authors expound, explain, and conjecture as they dialogue and answer questions on the issues and images relating to the heart that can be found in Chapter 8 of the Ling Shu. The lines are reproduced in Chinese and Pinyin, and the discussion dissects and interprets their meaning, imparting a philosophy and rationale to the individual ideograms that make up the text. A text and translation of the first section appends the discussion.
