The Second Teumin (Souminesque
Teumin)
The second teumin has an organ structure with the liver as the
largest, kidney as large, pancreas as small, and lungs as the smallest. This
can be indicated by liver > kidneys > pancreas > lungs.
According to Lee Jema's organ theory, attributing the organs to the four jiaos,
this can be expressed as follows:
Largest: lower middle jiao: liver group (liver, small intestine, navel, nose,
waist, hypodermic tissues).
i
Relatively large: lower jiao: kidney group (kidneys, large
intestine, sex organs, mouth, bladder, bones).
i
Relatively small: upper middle jiao: pancreas group (pancreas,
stomach, breasts, eyes, spine,
muscles).
i
Smallest: upper jiao: lung group (lungs, esophagus, tongue, ears,
brain, skin).
Illustration. Organ structure of the second teumin.
In the second teumin, liver is the largest organ, so the lower
middle jiao, the liver jiao and all of its organs, namely liver, small
intestine, navel, nose, waist, and hypodermic tissues, are the most developed.
Kidneys follow as relatively large organs, so the lower jiao, the kidney group
and all of its organs, namely kidneys, large intestine, sex organs, mouth,
bladder, and bones are well developed.
Pancreas is a relatively small organ, so the upper middle jiao, the pancreas
and all of its organs, namely pancreas, stomach, breast, eyes, spine, muscles,
are not well developed. Lungs are the smallest organs, so the upper jiao, the
lung group and all of its organs, namely lungs, esophagus, tongue, ears, brain
and skin, are least developed.
Illustration. Body shape of the second teumin
The first and second teumins both have the liver as the largest
organ and the lungs as the smallest organs, but nevertheless are different in
body shape. The size of the two middle organs kidney and pancreas is different
in the two teumins.
It is important, that although both have the organ structure 'liver >
lungs', the first teumin is characterized by the smallest lungs, while the
second teumin is characterized by the largest liver.
In other words, the first
teumin is a constitution caused by lungs that are too small, while the second
teumin is a constitution caused by a liver that is too large.
If these constitutions for some reason become ill, the first teumin's small
pancreas becomes weaker and the main cure is to adjust the weakened pancreas,
while the second teumin's large kidneys become stronger and its main cure is to
adjust the too strengthened kidneys.
This can be easily expressed as follows.
Above:
constitution with too small lungs: the first teumin.
Lower: constitution with too large liver: the second teumin.

As seen above, although the first teumin has lungs as the smallest organs same
as the second teumin, the two lungs cannot be put into the same vertical column
and regarded as equally small. Lungs of the first teumin are evidently smaller.
Although the second teumin has the liver as the largest organ same as the first
teumin, the two livers can't be put into the same vertical column and regarded
as equally large. Evidently, the second teumin's liver is larger.
The main external difference between the two is that the second teumin does not
become corpulent, because the second teumin's pancreas is a small organ, in
contrast to that of the first teumin. For a person to become corpulent, it is
necessary that both the liver and the pancreas be large.
Nevertheless, the liver as largest organ group means that the hypodermic
tissues are among the most developed, so the second teumin can put on extra
weight, but not become really corpulent. If he does put on weight, it will
accumulate mainly in the lower body, that is, the waist, thighs and legs. Even
among second teumins are thin people like the first soumins.
The second teumin (liver > kidneys
> pancreas > lungs) and the first soumin (kidneys > liver > lungs
> pancreas) are similar in organ structure such that the liver and kidneys
are large while the pancreas and lungs are small. Large liver and kidneys
develop the lower middle and the lower jiaos, so the second teumin is tall with
a well developed lower body.
The first soumin and the second teumin have well developed lower middle and
lower jiaos due to the large liver and kidneys, but the upper and upper middle
jiaos are not well developed because of the small lungs and pancreas.
Therefore, although the organs are different in the order of their sizes, the
two constitutions are most similar to each other.
In other words, in body shape the second teumin is not similar to the first
teumin, even though it is the same constitution, but to the first soumin, which
is a completely different constitution. In fact, it is difficult to compare the
two constitutions. That is a unique phenomenon, the result of the similarity
between the two organ structures.
Nevertheless, it is easy to distinguish between the second teumin and the first
soumin, if one observes well and compares the characteristics of teumin and
soumin.
A relatively shorter and thinner person can be regarded as the first soumin,
while a taller and fatter person could be the second teumin.
Both constitutions
are similar in that their statures are generally tall and figures thin due to
the underdeveloped upper body and well developed lower body. But the first
soumin has a relatively small body, face, eyes, nose and mouth, and looks cute,
while the second teumin has a relatively large body, face, eyes, nose and
mouth, and looks active.
Because of their natural body shape, most of the women who win beauty contests
are second teumins. First soumins are also beautiful, but seldom win because
they are shorter and smaller.
The two constitutions are quite similar also in temperament. The second teumin
is mixed with soumin, a yin constitution, and in that way differs from the
first teumin, which is mixed with soyangin, a yang constitution. Yang qualities
are less visible in the second teumin than in the first teumin.
Even though it
is a teumin, the second teumin is less active, less outgoing, and less jovial
than the first teumin. This difference is a result of the fact that the second
teumin is mixed with soumin, while the first teumin is mixed with soyangin.
That is what facilitates the distinction between the first and the second teumins.
Although quite similar to the first soumin in temperament, in fact the second
teumin's temperament is more teumin than soumin, and therein lies the
difference. As a teumin, the second teumin eats anything well and has a
stronger lower body than upper body. To strengthen the upper body, it is
necessary to practice sports that mainly require the use of the upper body. Too
strong an interest in health can easily change into worry and melancholy and
can sometimes bring on insomnia.
Note: Foods that are useful and those that are harmful to the second soumin are
the same as for the first soumin.
Examples of second soumins:
Gregory Peck, Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford
