Pulse: The five accumulations (Wu Ji) belong to Yin, with pulses deep and hidden against the bone. Liver pulse is wiry (Xian), Heart pulse is hollow (Kou), Kidney pulse is deep, urgent, slippery, Spleen pulse is full and long, Lung pulse is floating with sudden panting. The six aggregations (Liu Ju) present with sinking pulses; when chronic, they may show floating and knotted qualities. There are also mass-like formations (Jia), whose pulses are mostly wiry. A wiry pulse indicates knotted masses; if combined with a fine quality, it suggests hardness. A heavy pulse that scatters upon moderate pressure often indicates food-derived癖块 (Pi). A heavy pulse on the left side suggests Qi stagnation in the chest; if involving muscle tissue, the right-side pulse may appear transverse. For accumulations and masses, a tight pulse indicates winding pain. A weak pulse indicates death, while a solid and strong pulse indicates recovery.
A痞块 (Pi Kuai) is another name for 瘕 (Jia). Those that cannot move are called 积块 (Ji Kuai); those that can move, either to the left or right, are called 瘕块 (Jia Kuai). The five Zang organs correspond to the five accumulations, and the six Fu organs correspond to the six aggregations. Accumulations have fixed locations, whereas aggregations do not. Qi alone cannot form a mass or aggregation; masses are tangible entities formed by phlegm, food retention, and dead blood. This principle is clear. Generally, the center involves phlegm-fluids, the left side involves blood masses, and the right side involves food retention. All are treated with Kui Jian Tang (Crush Hardness Decoction), modified into pills, primarily focusing on resolving phlegm, invigorating blood, regulating Qi, and strengthening the Spleen. Accumulations have fixed locations and involve tangible blood stasis; aggregations have no fixed location and involve intangible Qi stagnation; accumulation masses consist of phlegm, food retention, and dead blood.
