The pulse position of the Heart is located at the Cun Kou (Cun position) in front of the Guan (Bar) on the left hand. (Also known as the Renying area.) The pulse position of the Liver is located at the Guan (Bar) on the left hand. The pulse position of the Kidney is located at the Chi (Cubit) position behind the Guan (Bar) on the left hand.
The pulse position of the Lung... [Text missing specific description, only title listed]
The *Zan of Pulse Methods* states:
The pulses of the Heart and Liver emerge from the left hand; the pulses of the Spleen and Lung emerge from the right hand. The Kidneys and Mingmen (Gate of Vitality), both emerge from the Chi (Cubit) position. Hun (Ethereal Soul), Po (Corporeal Soul), and Gushen (Grain Spirit, referring to mental/spiritual activities), all manifest at the Cun Kou (Radial artery at the wrist). The left side primarily governs the Zang organs (Note: Text says "Si Guan", traditionally Left often associated with Blood/Zang or specific functional aspects depending on context, here translated literally as governing 'Guan' which implies specific organ functions or viscera based on the text's internal logic contrasting with Right/Fu), while the right side primarily governs the Fu organs (Note: Text says "Si Fu"). A larger pulse on the left is favorable for males, and a larger pulse on the right is favorable for females. One fen in front of the Guan (Bar) is the master of human life. The left is Renying (Human Welcome), and the right is Qikou (Qi Gate). The decisive judgment of Shenmen (Spirit Gate, here referring to the critical diagnostic point or pulse location behind the Guan) lies in both positions behind the Guan. If a person lacks these two pulses (referring to Renying and Qikou or specific left/right pulse characteristics), the disease will not be cured. If any meridian is damaged or diminished, judge according to its respective position. Regarding San Yin and San Yang (one interpretation: inspecting Yin and Yang Qi), who comes first and who comes later? For Yin diseases, treat the Guan (specific pulse position/organ correspondence); for Yang diseases, treat the Fu (exterior). How to capture the place where Qi Xie (Abnormal Pathogenic Factors) resides? If one can carefully understand these principles, upon needle insertion, the disease will heal.
Pulse diagnosis is divided into three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi), where Yin and Yang interact. Ying Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) and Qi Xue (Qi and Blood) circulate within the body. Through inhalation and exhalation, Qi moves up and down internally. Following the breath, Qi circulates throughout the body, allowing Jin Ye (Body Fluids) to flow smoothly. Movements change with the seasons, imitating natural forms. In Spring, the pulse is Xian (Wiry); in Autumn, it is Fu (Floating); in Winter, it is Chen (Deep); in Summer, it is Hong (Surging). Observing complexion and pulse, they vary in size. Within a short time, changes are unpredictable. Pulse lengths may vary, sometimes short, sometimes long. Upper and lower pulse positions may be disordered, sometimes present, sometimes absent. Conditions constantly change, advancing and retreating. If the mind is confused, one loses the guiding principles of treatment. I wish for you to elaborate clearly so that distinctions can be made clear. (The Master said:) What you ask is the root of the Dao. Pulses are divided into three positions: Cun, Chi, and Guan. Ying Wei circulates without losing balance and measure. The Kidney pulse is Chen (Deep), the Heart pulse is Hong (Surging), the Lung pulse is Fu (Floating), and the Liver pulse is Xian (Wiry). These are the normal constants, accurate to the finest degree. The entry and exit, ascent and descent of Qi complete a cycle in the body within two ke (ancient time units). After water drops for two ke, the pulse completes one circulation of the body, returning to Cun Kou, where Xu (Deficiency) and Shi (Excess) become apparent. Changes multiply and interact, with Yin and Yang interfering. Wind causes Fu (Floating) and Xu (Deficient) pulses; Cold causes Jin (Tight) and Xian (Wiry) pulses. Submerged Water accumulation leads to Ji Xian (Rapidly Wiry) pulses in Zhi Yin (Branching Fluid Retention). Dong (Moving) or Xian (Wiry) pulses indicate pain; Shu (Rapid) or Hong (Surging) pulses indicate Heat and restlessness. If the pulse does not match these descriptions, one must know the cause of the variation. The three positions differ, and the origins of diseases vary. Excess is surprising, and deficiency is also notable. Pathogens do not appear out of nowhere; there is always an underlying evil. Carefully examine the exterior and interior, distinguishing the San Jiao (Triple Burner). Knowing where the pathogen resides, deliberate in diagnosis. Assessing the Zang Fu organs, your unique insight will be like divinity.
