Pulse that is floating, surging (Hong), and rapid indicates deficient fire. Pulse that is deep and solid-large indicates excess fire. A surging-large pulse appearing at the left Cun position indicates Heart Fire. Appearing at the right Cun position indicates Lung Fire. Appearing at the left Guan position indicates Liver Fire. Appearing at the right Guan position indicates Spleen Fire. At both Chi positions, it refers to the Fire of the Kidney Meridian and Mingmen (Gate of Vitality). In men, if the pulses at both Chi positions are surging and large, seminal emission will inevitably occur; this is due to flourishing Yin Fire. The Zang-Fu organs of humans each possess fire, but there are differences between deficiency and excess. However, excess fire can be purged; for example, Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) purges Heart Fire, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) purges Lung Fire, Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) purges Spleen Fire, Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) purges Stomach Fire, Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) purges Liver Fire, and Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) purges Kidney Fire. These are all bitter-cold substances capable of purging surplus fire. If dietary irregularities or overwork cause internal injury to Yuan Qi (Original Qi), where fire and righteous qi cannot coexist, this constitutes a disease of Yang deficiency, which should be treated with sweet-warm formulas, such as Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma). If Yin is weak and Yang is hyperactive, with Xianghuo (Ministerial Fire) blazing and invading Yin positions, this constitutes a disease of Blood deficiency, which should be treated with sweet-cold formulas to descend it, such as Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix). If Heart Fire is extremely hyperactive with stagnant heat internally solidified, this constitutes a disease of Yang hyperactivity, which should be treated with salty-cold formulas to subdue and break it, such as Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas). If Kidney Water is affected by cold, causing True Yin to lose its hold and generating rootless fire, this constitutes a disease of Yin deficiency, which should be treated with formulas that strengthen Water (nourish Kidney Yin) to control it, such as Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) and Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix). If there is decline of Mingmen Fire in the Kidney Meridian, this constitutes a disease of Yang collapse, which should be treated with warm-hot formulas to assist it, such as Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) and Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). If Stomach deficiency combined with excessive consumption of cold foods suppresses Yang Qi within the Spleen Earth, this constitutes a disease of Fire Depression, which should be treated with ascending and dispersing formulas to vent it, primarily using Shengyang Sanhuo Tang (Ascending Yang and Dispersing Fire Decoction). For excess fire in various meridians, adjust according to the following formulas without being rigid.
Another discussion: Men and women experiencing heat in the four limbs, heat between bones and sinews, and heat on the muscle surface like fire, burning upon touch. This condition often arises from Blood deficiency. Alternatively, it may result from Spleen deficiency and excessive consumption of cold foods, suppressing Yang Qi within Spleen Earth; when Fire is depressed, it should be dispersed.

A woman in her forties experienced fever at night, subsiding in the morning, with five-palm heat, unceasing. After half a year, all six pulses were rapid, deep, firm, and completely unresponsive to light palpation. She was given four doses of Shengyang Sanhuo Tang (Ascending Yang and Dispersing Fire Decoction), reducing the heat by more than half, with the chest feeling clearer and more comfortable than before. Two additional doses caused the heat to completely recede.
