The two sides of the inner forearm correspond to the lower ribs. The outer part of the cubit assesses the kidney, the inner part the abdomen. At the middle attachment above, the left outer side assesses the liver and the inner side the diaphragm; the right outer side assesses the stomach and the inner side the spleen. At the upper attachment above, the right outer side assesses the lung and the inner side the centre of the chest; the left outer side assesses the heart and the inner side the chest centre. The front assesses the front, the back assesses the back. What reaches highest above concerns the chest and throat; what reaches lowest below concerns the lower abdomen, loins, thighs, knees, shins and feet.
本篇末節分尺膚以候臟腑：尺内兩傍主季脅，尺外候腎、尺裏候腹；中附上左外候肝、內候鬲，右外候胃、內候脾；上附上右外候肺、內候胸中，左外候心、內候膻中。前候前、後候後，上竟上者胸喉之事，下竟下者少腹腰股膝脛足之事。此與第九篇「寸口」相為表裡。
安卧脉盛，謂之脱血。尺濇脉滑，謂之多汗。
安卧脉盛，谓之脱血。尺涩脉滑，谓之多汗。
ān wò mài shèng, wèi zhī tuō xuè. chǐ sè mài huá, wèi zhī duō hàn.
Resting quietly and yet having a full pulse indicates loss of blood. A rough cubit skin with a slippery pulse indicates much sweating.
「安卧脉盛，謂之脱血。尺濇脉滑，謂之多汗」：本篇尺之義有二，一為尺脈（尺脉緩濇），一為尺膚（尺濇、尺寒、脉尺麤常熱）。與第十七篇「尺」同條而義進：第十七篇詳列尺之部位以候臟腑（尺內兩傍則季脅、尺外以候腎、尺裏以候腹），本篇則以尺之寒熱滑濇候病——尺濇而脈滑者多汗，尺寒而脈細者後泄，尺麤常熱者熱中。
歧伯曰：絡氣不足，經氣有餘者，脉口熱而尺寒也，秋冬爲逆，春夏爲從，治主病者。
歧伯曰：络气不足，经气有余者，脉口热而尺寒也，秋冬为逆，春夏为从，治主病者。

Qibo says: when network-vessel qi is insufficient and channel qi is in excess, the pulse mouth is hot and the cubit is cold. In autumn and winter this is counterflow, in spring and summer it follows. Treat the disease that is in charge.
本篇「尺」字六見，皆與「脉口」（寸）對舉，是本站此條最重要之用法：尺以候下、候陰，寸以候上、候陽。「脉口熱而尺寒」與下文「尺熱滿，脉口寒濇」恰相反，而吉凶亦相反（秋冬為逆春夏為從／春夏死秋冬生），正見本篇辨析之細。**「尺」讀 chǐ，本篇六見**；「口」讀 kǒu；「寒」讀 hán，本篇九見；「熱」讀 rè。又「尺濇而不應」之尺（形盡滿節）、「尺虚者，行步恇然」之尺（重虚節），皆以尺部候下元之虛實。
帝曰：人有尺脉數甚，筋急而見，此爲何病？歧伯曰：此所謂疹筋。是人腹必急，白色黑色見則病甚。

The Emperor asks: a person whose chi pulse is very rapid and whose sinews are tense and stand out — what illness is this? Qi Bo answers: this is what is called sinew enduring illness. Such a person’s abdomen is necessarily tense; if white or black colour shows, the illness is severe.
「人有「尺」讀 chǐ脉數甚，筋急而見」——**本篇「尺」1見**；**尺讀 chǐ，尺部之脉，與本站第十七篇分候藏府之尺同部位**；**「數甚」之數讀 shuò，頻數之義，本篇五見皆此讀**；「見」讀 xiàn、**見讀 xiàn，通「現」，筋急而顯露於外，下文「白色黑色見則病甚」之見同讀**。
歧伯曰：從其氣則和，違其氣則病。不當其位者病，迭移其位者病，失守其位者危，尺寸反者死，陰陽交者死。先立其年，以知其氣。左右應見，然後乃可以言死生之逆順。

Qi Bo said: to follow its qi is harmony, to go against it is illness. He who is not in his proper place falls ill; he who shifts from place to place falls ill; he who loses the place he guards is in peril; when the chi and cun are reversed there is death, and when yin and yang cross there is death. First establish the year in order to know its qi; once the corresponding qi of left and right have been seen, then one may speak of what is adverse and what is favourable in life and death.
「尺寸反者死」——**「尺」本篇1見，止在此語**；**此語與「陰陽交者死」同為二死之斷，上文「不當其位者病，迭移其位者病，失守其位者危」是其序：病、病、危、死、死**；**「寸」讀 cùn，本篇1見，止在此語**；**本篇「尺寸」另立新目，見「尺寸」條**
