夫三部之中，俱见一脉，所主杂病，略而言之。《脉经》曰∶阳邪来，见浮洪；阴
邪来，见微细；水谷之邪来，见实坚；寒 之邪来，见弦小。又曰∶浮而滑者，宿
食也。短而滑者，酒病也。迟而滑者，脉满也。洪而大者，伤寒也。浮而数者，伤
风也。浮而急者，饮食不消，脾不磨也。沉而弦者，寒气结而阴痛也。浮而缓者，皮
肤不仁也。滑而散者，瘫痪也。迟而缓者，寒症也。浮而涩者，霍乱也。弱而涩者，反
胃也。紧而滑者，吐逆也。短而数者，心痛也。弦而数者，为疟也。紧而急者，尸
遁也。实小而坚者，病在内而冷也。浮滑而紧者，病在外而热也。短而急者，病在
上也。长而缓者，病在下也。长而弦者，病在肝也。滑而洪者，病在心也。微而软者，
病在脾也。浮而涩者，病在肺也。沉而紧者，病在肾也。又诀曰∶诸浮为风，或为
虚也。诸紧为痛，或为积也。诸涩为痹，诸弦为饮，诸数为热，诸迟为寒，芤则为失
血，软则为虚，若脉沉沉泽泽，四肢不仁者，亡祟也；或大而 ，社祟也；若脉
来乍大乍小，乍短乍长者，鬼祟也。

Among the three pulse positions (Cun, Guan, Chi), if each position exhibits only one specific pulse type, the various miscellaneous diseases they indicate are briefly explained as follows. The *Mai Jing* (Classic of Pulse Diagnosis) states: When Yang pathogens arrive, the pulse appears floating and surging (Fu Hong); when Yin pathogens arrive, the pulse appears faint and fine (Wei Xi); when water and grain pathogens arrive, the pulse appears solid and firm (Shi Jian); when Cold pathogens arrive, the pulse appears wiry and small (Xian Xiao). It further states: A pulse that is floating and slippery indicates retained food (Su Shi). A pulse that is short and slippery indicates alcohol-related disease (Jiu Bing). A pulse that is slow and slippery indicates fullness of the pulse qi. A pulse that is surging and large indicates Cold Damage (Shang Han). A pulse that is floating and rapid indicates Wind Injury (Shang Feng). A pulse that is floating and urgent indicates indigestion and weakened Spleen grinding function. A pulse that is deep and wiry indicates pain in the Yin aspect caused by凝结 of Cold Qi. A pulse that is floating and moderate indicates insensitivity of the skin (numbness). A pulse that is slippery and scattered indicates paralysis (Tan Huan). A pulse that is slow and moderate indicates Cold syndromes. A pulse that is floating and choppy indicates Cholera (Huo Luan). A pulse that is weak and choppy indicates regurgitation (Fan Wei). A pulse that is tight and slippery indicates vomiting and rebellious Qi. A pulse that is short and rapid indicates Heart pain. A pulse that is wiry and rapid indicates Malaria (Nie). A pulse that is tight and urgent indicates Shi Dun disease (a condition involving spirit disturbance or fright). A pulse that is solid, small, and firm indicates an internal disease with cold symptoms. A pulse that is floating, slippery, and tight indicates an external disease with heat signs. A pulse that is short and urgent indicates a disease located in the Upper Jiao. A pulse that is long and moderate indicates a disease located in the Lower Jiao. A pulse that is long and wiry indicates Liver disease. A pulse that is slippery and surging indicates Heart disease. A pulse that is faint and soft indicates Spleen disease. A pulse that is floating and choppy indicates Lung disease. A pulse that is deep and tight indicates Kidney disease. Another verse states: All floating pulses primarily indicate Wind or Deficiency. All tight pulses primarily indicate Pain or Accumulation. All choppy pulses primarily indicate Bi syndrome (obstruction). All wiry pulses primarily indicate Fluid retention (Yin). All rapid pulses primarily indicate Heat. All slow pulses primarily indicate Cold. A Kou pulse (Kou Mai, hollow like a scallion) indicates blood loss. A soft pulse (Ruo Mai, also known as Ru Mai) indicates Deficiency. If the pulse is deep and moist, accompanied by numbness of the four limbs, it indicates Wang Su (loss of spirit/possession). If the pulse is large and empty, it indicates She Su (earth god possession). If the pulse comes alternately large and small, short and long, it indicates Gui Su (ghostly possession).
(The Cun position primarily governs diseases of the Upper Jiao and head/face) Whenever palpating the pulse, if the pulse can be felt strongly even when pressed to the bone, it is called "forceful" (You Li); if the pulse cannot be felt when pressed to the bone, it is called "non-forceful" (Wu Li). Other situations follow this pattern.

(The Chi position primarily governs diseases of the Lower Jiao, waist, and feet)
A floating pulse that is forceful indicates Wind; non-forceful indicates Deficiency. It primarily involves Cold pathogen lower back pain, leg and knee numbness, penile swelling and pain, and difficulty in urination and defecation.
A deep pulse that is forceful indicates Accumulation; non-forceful indicates Qi stagnation. It primarily involves swelling and pain below the umbilicus, soreness and pain in legs and knees, Lower Jiao deficiency with night sweats, and frequent urination.
A slow pulse that is forceful indicates Pain; non-forceful indicates Cold. It primarily involves acute pain in the lower abdomen, descent of the external genitalia, frequent urination, and diarrhea.
