Asked: “The pulse has three parts; yin and yang encroach on one another; the ying and wei, the blood and the qi, are within the body. Breath goes out and in, rises and descends within it; by the breath they are spread abroad and the fluids flow freely. They move with the seasons, and their form is imaged in the pulse: in spring it is wiry, in autumn floating, in winter deep, in summer flooding. Looking at the complexion and feeling the pulse, the sizes differ. Within a single breath the changes have no constant measure; the inch and the cubit are uneven, now short, now long; above and below go contrary, now present, now gone. The illness shifts with them, and the pulse rises and falls. My mind is confused and I lose the guiding rules — I beg you to set it all out plainly.” The Master said: “What you ask is the very root of the healing art. The pulse has three parts: the cubit, the inch and the gate. The inch is the upper part, the gate the middle, the cubit the lower. The ying and wei move through them without losing their balance.”

The kidney pulse is deep, the heart pulse flooding, the lung pulse floating, the liver pulse wiry. These are their own constant measures, not off by a grain’s weight.
洪之兩面：夏月立夏得之為時脉，大汗後得之猶可再與桂枝；若浮洪而汗如油，則為命絶。
南方心脉，其形何似？師曰：心者，火也，名少陰，其脉洪大而長，是心脉也。心病自得洪大者，愈也。

The heart pulse of the south — what is its form? The Master said: “The heart is fire, named lesser yin; its pulse is flooding, large and long — this is the heart pulse. When heart disease of itself gets the flooding and large, it will heal.”

After Cinnamon Twig Decoction, with heavy sweating and a surging, large pulse, give Cinnamon Twig again as before. If the pattern is malaria-like with two attacks a day, sweat will surely resolve it: Cinnamon Twig Two and Ephedra One Decoction is fitting.

When the yang pulse is flooding and rapid and the yin pulse replete and large, warm heat is met and it turns to warm poison. Of all illnesses warm poison is the heaviest.
