滑主多痰，弦主留饮。热则滑数，寒则弦紧。
浮滑兼风，沉滑兼气。食伤短疾，湿留濡细。
滑为水物兼有之象。主多痰者，以痰为饮结成形故也。弦则弦直而敛，不能抑
扬鼓荡，是阳运之力薄，故饮留焉。（宜和剂倍术丸、苓桂术甘汤之类。）以饮较痰，尚未结聚，
所以弦不似滑之累累替替有物形也。大约气机鼓动属热，滑数是已。敛束属寒，弦
紧是已。鼓动浮越，风之象也，故浮滑者兼风。（宜青州白丸子、法制半夏、清心牛黄丸、沉香堕痰
丸、清气化痰丸之类。）动疾沉下，气之郁也，故动滑者兼气。停食于中，则气为食碍，不
能透达，脉为之短。短则气遏于内，势反成疾。短疾之脉，与滑近似，故滑亦主食
也。（宜丹溪保和丸之类。）湿为阴邪，留必缓渗，非若阳邪之变动迅疾，故脉亦濡细耳。
（宜仲景泽泻汤之类。）

Hua (Slippery) pulse indicates excessive phlegm, Xian (Wiry) pulse indicates retained fluid. Heat presents with Hua Shu (Slippery-Rapid) pulse, Cold presents with Xian Jin (Wiry-Tight) pulse.
Fu (Floating) combined with Hua indicates Wind; Chen (Sinking) combined with Hua indicates Qi stagnation. Food injury presents with Duan (Short) and Ji (Rapid) pulses; Dampness retention presents with Ru (Soggy) and Xi (Fine) pulses.
Hua is the image of both water-fluids and tangible phlegm. It indicates excessive phlegm because phlegm is formed by the coagulation of fluids. Xian pulse is straight and constricting, lacking the ability to rise and fall or surge freely; this indicates weak Yang movement power, thus fluids remain. (Suitable formulas include Heji Beishu Wan [Formula of the Imperial Pharmacy with Doubled Atractylodes] and Linggui Zhugan Tang [Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Licorice Decoction].) Compared to phlegm, fluids have not yet fully coagulated, so the Xian pulse does not resemble the continuous, bead-like rolling sensation of the Hua pulse. Generally, Qi mechanism surging belongs to Heat, evidenced by Hua Shu pulse. Constriction and binding belong to Cold, evidenced by Xian Jin pulse. Surging and floating represent the image of Wind, so Fu Hua pulse indicates concurrent Wind. (Suitable formulas include Qingzhou Baiwanzi [Qingzhou White Pills], Fazhi Banxia [Processed Pinellia], Qingxin Niuhuang Wan [Clear Heart Calves' Gallstone Pills], Chenxiang Tuotan Wan [Agarwood Phlegm-Expelling Pills], and Qingqi Huatan Wan [Clear Qi and Resolve Phlegm Pills].) Rapid movement sinking down indicates Qi depression, so Dong Hua pulse indicates concurrent Qi stagnation. Food stagnating in the middle jiao obstructs Qi, preventing its penetration and distribution, causing the pulse to become Short. A Short pulse means Qi is constrained internally, potentially leading to disease. The Duan Ji (Short-Rapid) pulse is similar to Hua, so Hua pulse also governs food stagnation. (Suitable formula includes Danxi Baohe Wan [Danxi Harmonizing the Middle Pills].) Dampness is a Yin pathogen; its retention causes slow, seeping pulses, unlike Yang pathogens which change rapidly, hence the pulse is Ru Xi (Soggy-Fine). (Suitable formula includes Zhongjing Zexie Tang [Alisma Decoction].)
