If a rapid pulse appears at the bar, with no head or tail above or below, the size of a bean, stirring and shaking, it is the qi of yin and yang striking each other, and is therefore called moving. When the yang pulse is floating, large and soft, and the yin pulse is floating, large and soft, the yin and yang pulses being equal, it is called relaxed.

趺陽脉遲而緩，胃氣如經也。趺陽脉浮而數，浮則傷胃，數則動脾，此非本病，醫特下之所爲也。榮衛内陷，其數先微，脉反但浮，其人必大便鞕，氣噫而除。何以言之？本以數脉動脾，其數先微，故知脾氣不治，大便鞕，氣噫而除。今脉反浮，其數改微，邪氣獨留，心中則飢，邪熱不殺榖，潮熱發渴。數脉當遲緩，脉因前後度數如法，病者則飢，數脉不時，則生惡瘡也。

When the fuyang pulse is slow and relaxed, the stomach qi is as usual. When it is floating and rapid, floating injures the stomach and rapid stirs the spleen; this is not the original disease but the work of a physician who purged wrongly. Ying and wei sink inward, the rapid quality fades first, the pulse becomes merely floating, and the patient must have a hard stool and belching that relieves him. Why? Originally the rapid pulse stirred the spleen; the rapid fades first, so one knows the spleen qi is unregulated, the stool hard, and belching relieves. Now the pulse is floating instead and the rapid has changed to faint; the evil qi remains alone, there is hunger in the chest, the evil heat fails to digest grain, and there is tidal fever with thirst. The rapid pulse should turn slow and relaxed; if the pulse’s measures before and after follow the rule, the patient will be hungry; if the rapid pulse does not keep time, evil sores will form.

太陽病，得之八九日，如瘧狀，發熱惡寒，熱多寒少，其人不嘔，清便欲自可，一日二三度發，脉微緩者，爲欲愈也。脉微而惡寒者，此陰陽俱虚，不可更發汗、更下、更吐也。面色反有熱色者，未欲解也。以其不能得小汗出，身必痒，宜桂枝麻黃各半湯。

In taiyang disease of eight or nine days, with a malaria-like pattern, fever and aversion to cold, more heat than cold, no vomiting, stool and urine still passable, and two or three attacks a day, a faint, relaxed pulse means it is about to heal. If the pulse is faint with aversion to cold, yin and yang are both empty, and one must not again sweat, purge or vomit. If the face instead shows a hot colour, it is not about to resolve; because a light sweat cannot come out, the body will itch. Cinnamon Twig and Ephedra Half-and-Half Decoction is fitting.
