This is incorrect. The Classic (Neijing) states: "A pulse that is floating and large indicates excess Qi and deficient Blood." If the pulse is floating and large, it should be interpreted as excess Qi and deficient Blood. Now, the Fuyang pulse (Duzi pulse, located at the dorsum of the foot, reflecting Spleen and Stomach Qi) is floating and choppy (Se). Floating indicates deficiency of Stomach Qi, while choppy indicates Cold in the Spleen. When the Spleen and Stomach are deficient and cold, food fails to digest and fluids fail to separate clearly. According to treatment principles, this should manifest as diarrhea (Xiali).
The Shaoyin (Kidney) pulse is also relevant. The Kidney is the Child organ of the Lung and the Mother organ of the Liver. A floating pulse corresponds to the Lung, and a wiry (Xian) pulse corresponds to the Liver. A Shaoyin pulse that is both wiry and floating reflects the generative cycle between mother and child organs; hence, it is referred to as "regulating the pulse" (Tiaomai). If the pulse is slippery (Hua) and rapid (Shu), it indicates an exogenous heat pathogen residing in the Lower Jiao, causing blood to putrefy into pus, resulting in the passage of purulent stool.
The Cunkou pulse (Radial artery at the wrist, reflecting all Zang-Fu organs) is floating and tight. Floating indicates Wind, and tight indicates Cold. Wind injures the Defensive Qi (Wei), and Cold injures the Nutritive Blood (Ying). When both Ying and Wei are diseased, there is severe pain in the bone joints. Treatment should involve inducing sweating.
The Mai Jing (Pulse Classic) states: "Wind injures Yang, Cold injures Yin." Defensive Qi belongs to Yang, Nutritive Blood belongs to Yin. Wind belongs to Yang, Cold belongs to Yin. They injure according to their like categories. As stated in the I Ching (Book of Changes): "Water flows to wetness, Fire moves toward dryness." This principle applies here. When Defensive Qi encounters Wind, fever occurs; when Nutritive Blood encounters Cold, pain occurs. Since both Ying and Wei are diseased, severe bone joint pain results. One should administer Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) to induce sweating, which will lead to recovery.
A Fuyang pulse that is slow (Chi) and moderate/harmonious (Huan) indicates that Stomach Qi is normal. However, if the Fuyang pulse is floating and rapid, floating injures Stomach Qi, and rapidity disturbs Spleen Qi. This is not the original disease; the physician...
