If the pulse comes large and strong, the prognosis is good; if the pulse is deep and small, the prognosis is fatal. A pulse that can only be felt by pressing to the bone indicates a Jī (Accumulation) syndrome. If the pulse appears at the Cun (Inch) position, the accumulation is in the chest; if it appears at the Guan (Bar) position, the accumulation is beside the navel; if it appears at the Chi (Cubit) position, the accumulation is near the Qichong (Chong Meridian Source) point. If the pulse manifests on the left hand, the accumulation is on the left side of the body; if it manifests on the right hand, the accumulation is on the right side. If the pulse appears on both hands, the accumulation is in the center of the body. A pulse that is small, deep, and firm indicates an accumulation in the Spleen and Stomach, leading to an inability to eat, and vomiting after eating.
Jī (Accumulation) arises from the Yin aspect of the Five Zang Organs. Its onset has a fixed root, its pain occurs in a constant location, and the pulse must be Jie Fu (Knotted and Hidden). Jù (Gathering) forms from the Yang aspect of the Six Fu Organs. Its onset has no fixed root, its pain occurs in varying locations, and the pulse must be Fu Jie (Floating and Knotted). This is due to disharmony between Yin and Yang, weakness of the Zang-Fu organs, and irregularities in the Four Qi (Seasonal influences) and Seven Emotions, thus forming accumulations and gatherings. Over time, masses form. Those that cannot move are called Jī (Accumulation); those that appear and disappear, or move up, down, left, or right, are called Jiá (Masses/Gas Gatherings). Qi itself cannot form a mass; a mass is a tangible object formed by Phlegm, Food Retention, and Dead Blood. This principle is clear. Accumulations in the center are mostly Phlegm-Fluids; on the right, mostly Food Retention; on the left, mostly Dead Blood. The treatment method involves using salty substances to soften hardness and reducing substances to削 (reduce/scrape) the mass, with moving Qi and resolving Phlegm as the key principles. One should not exclusively use purgative drugs for accumulations, as this merely damages Qi without removing the disease. Instead, one should employ digestion-promoting methods to melt the dead blood clots. After removing the accumulation, substantial tonification is required. For Pi (Stagnant Masses) located inside the skin but outside the membranes, tonifying medicines are necessary; Liu Junzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) and Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) should be used to open stagnation.
One treatise discusses Wuji (Five Accumulations), Liuju (Six Gatherings), Jiapixi (Irregular Masses), Phlegm, Food Retention, and masses formed by Dead Blood.

A male patient had a Pi (Stagnant Mass) in his abdomen. First, wash the area with hot good vinegar. According to the size of the lesion, draw a circle with flour paste. Place one sheng of Xiaokun (Mirabilite) inside the flour circle and level it. Cover the nitre with paper. Hold a hot ironing iron and continuously iron over the paper until the nitre melts completely. Then wash off with hot vinegar. Spread the plaster on red silk and apply to the affected area. Heat an old shoe sole and iron the area two or three times. Change the plaster every seven days. For severe cases, no more than twenty-one applications are needed; the swelling and blood will dissipate.

One person holds the child's hands on their shoulders. Then, pound Mu Bei Zi (Mucuna Semen) into a paste and apply it to both kidneys. Afterwards, apply the plaster and iron with a heated shoe sole. Continue until a great heat is felt in the abdomen.
