Abstract
The concept "the heart controls the mental activities" came from that the heart played an important role in the body just as the emperor did in the country. In TCM the brain wasn’t one of the Zang Fu organs,so it could not control the mental activities. Therefore,although the viewpoint of "the brain controls the mental activities" could be described but it was not feasible. "The brain and the heart control the mental activities together" was not necessary and not possible. We must analyze and reflect upon the reason why "the brain controls the mental activities" was so popular in TCM.
