Hi! I'm also working on this article for a class. I'm so sorry, I was going to add a sentence on the Five Elements Theory before I saw that it was in your plan. Would it be okay if I wrote a sentence on how the lungs is connected to the element of metal with my own source since it hasn't been touched on yet? Please feel free to remove it if you do not want it there. Here's one of my sources so far:

Pachuta, Donald M., 1991. "Chinese Medicine: The Law of Five Elements".

Citation: Pachuta, Donald M. (1991) "Chinese Medicine: The Law of Five Elements". India International Centre Quarterly. 18: (2/3) 41-68.

I apologize in advance if the citation isn't correct. I'm still getting used to using Wikipedia. -Samantha Moll. L. Samantha Moll. L (talk) 01:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

I forgot to add the link to my source:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/23002364?seq=13#metadata_info_tab_contents Samantha Moll. L (talk) 01:39, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Please disregard everything above, I came across the section linking the lungs and the element of metal. I'm so sorry. -Samantha Moll. L. Samantha Moll. L (talk) 01:47, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm going to add a sentence on how the lungs are associated with the color white due to their relation with the element metal using the same source mentioned above. Samantha Moll. L (talk) 01:51, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

::That sounds great! Please feel free to add anything to the article, including linking the lungs to the metal element. I think I might be adding more about how the large intestine and the lung are related to each other. ~~~~ Cam Coe27 (talk) 17:00, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Great! I'm just adding more sources at the moment.

Just added four sentences using the sources I listed within the context of zang-fu organs section to the article. They added the meridians conecting the lung to the large intestine, common syptoms of lung diseases, and common causes of lung diseases. If anything can be improved or added let me know!
