The Master asked: “The pulse has yin and yang — what does that mean?” The answer: “When the pulse is large, floating, rapid, moving or slippery, it is named yang; when it is deep, astringent, weak, wiry or faint, it is named yin. In yin disease, seeing a yang pulse, the patient lives; in yang disease, seeing a yin pulse, the patient dies.”

問曰：脉有陽結陰結者，何以别之？答曰：其脉浮而數，能食，不大便者，此爲實，名曰陽結也，期十七日當劇。其脉沉而遲，不能食，身體重，大便反鞕，名曰陰結也，期十四日當劇。

Asked: “When the pulse has yang binding and yin binding, how are they told apart?” The answer: “If the pulse is floating and rapid, with ability to eat but no stool, this is excess: it is called yang binding, and it is expected to worsen on the seventeenth day. If the pulse is deep and slow, with no appetite, heaviness of body and a hard stool instead, it is called yin binding, and it is expected to worsen on the fourteenth day.”

問曰：脉有三部，陰陽相乘，榮衛血氣，在人體躬，呼吸出入，上下於中，因息遊布，津液流通，隨時動作，效象形容。春弦秋浮，冬沉夏洪。察色觀脉，大小不同。一時之間，變無經常。尺寸參差，或短或長。上下乖錯，或存或亡。病輒改易，進退低昂。心迷意惑，動失紀綱。願爲具陳，令得分明。師曰：子之所問，道之根源。脉有三部，尺寸及關。寸爲上部，關爲中部，尺爲下部。榮衛流行，不失衡銓。

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.”

In taiyang disease with painful joints, restlessness and a deep, thin pulse, the condition is dampness impediment. The patient passes little urine while the stool is instead loose; one should simply promote urination.
