目的：系统研究中医五脏相关学说。方法：从发生学角度，结合《内经》、道家学说探讨中医五脏神识系统建立的理论与实践问题。结果：五脏神识系统是在胚胎时期的脑髓中，元神与脑髓共同作用、发生分化而形成的。元神分化出心神，再由心神分化出五神等各种神识元素；脑髓分化出心肾等五脏，五神、五脏分化完成后，五神入藏于五脏，从而形成了五脏神识系统。结论：脑为元神化生神识元素、脏腑之处所，心神为五脏神识系统的主宰。

This paper approaches and explores the question of the formation of the System of the Properties of the Five Organs from a causative point of view, combining the principles in the Inner Canon and the teachings of the Taoist School. The Properties of the Five Organs originate from the Brain Marrow at the Embryonic stage as a result of combined transformatory processes of the Spirit and the Brain Marrow. The Spirit is transformed to become the Heart-Spirit which in turn is transformed to become the Five Senses and their related elements. The Brain Marrow is transformed to become the Five Organs such as the Heart and the Kidneys. At the completion of the above transformatory processes, the Five Senses become housed in the Five Organs. The System of the Properties of the Five Organs is thus formed. The Brain is the element of transformation of the Spirit, providing a functional base for the Five Organs. The Heart-Spirit is the supreme commander of the System of the Properties of the Five Organs.
