Diagnosing women with leukorrhea and bleeding (leaking blood mixed with white discharge), if the daily blood loss amounts to several sheng (a unit of volume) and the pulse is rapid and urgent, death ensues; if the pulse is slow, survival is indicated.
Diagnosing women with continuous leukorrhea and bleeding, if the pulse is small, deficient, and slippery, survival is indicated; if the pulse is large, tight, solid, and rapid, death ensues.
Diagnosing women who have just given birth or are nursing, if the pulse is deep, small, and slippery, survival is indicated; if the pulse is excess, large, firm, wiry, and urgent, death ensues.
Diagnosing women suffering from hernia, mass (Jia), accumulation (Ji), and gathering (Ju), if the pulse is wiry and urgent, survival is indicated; if the pulse is weak and small, death ensues.
Diagnosing women who have just given birth or are nursing and subsequently contract a heat disease, if the pulse is suspended and small but the four limbs are warm, survival is indicated; if the limbs are cold, death ensues.
Diagnosing women during childbirth who, due to wind-stroke, cold damage, or heat disease, exhibit wheezing with audible sounds and shoulder breathing, if the pulse is excess, large, floating, and slow, survival is indicated; if the pulse is small and urgent, death ensues.
Diagnosing women after childbirth, if the Cun Kou (inch position) pulse is rapid and irregular, death ensues; if the pulse is deep and minute, yet unceasing when pressed to the bone, survival is indicated. For metal wounds located in the yin region, if bleeding does not cease and the yin pulse cannot reach the yang aspect, death ensues; if yang qi reconnects and re-emerges, survival is indicated.
For children, a pulse rate of eight beats per respiration cycle is normal; nine beats indicates injury; ten beats indicates exhaustion.
When diagnosing children's pulses, although they often appear erratic like a sparrow pecking, one must primarily rely on the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi). A tight pulse indicates wind epilepsy; a deep pulse indicates indigestion of milk; a wiry and urgent pulse indicates Ke Wu Qi (qi rebellion caused by external shock/evil).
During the period of "Bian Zheng" (physiological fever associated with infant growth and development), if a child has a fever, chaotic pulse, no sweat, anorexia, and vomiting upon eating, the chaotic pulse is not a cause for concern.
A deep and rapid pulse in a child indicates heat in the bones; abdominal palpation should be used to assess coldness or warmth.
If a child has red stool with green fragments and undigested food diarrhea, and the pulse is small with cold hands and feet, recovery is difficult; if the pulse is small but the hands and feet are warm, recovery is easy.
If a critically ill child sweats profusely like pearls that adhere to the body but do not flow, death ensues.
(Hand Examination Diagram, Part 31)
The Classics state: The Lung is the canopy (Hua Gai) of the five zang organs in humans, positioned highest to correspond with Heaven, resolving and organizing all things, governing the circulation of essence and qi, mirroring the Five Phases and Four Seasons, and understanding the Five Flavors.
At the Cun Kou pulse site, yin and yang intersect, forming five sections within. Anterior, posterior, left, and right each have their specific dominions; upper, lower, and central divide into nine pathways. Through floating, sinking, knotted, and scattered pulses, one can locate the pathogen. How does this work? Qibo said: A pulse that is large yet weak indicates excess qi and deficient blood; a pulse that is large and long indicates pathology in the lower sector; a straight, vertically communicating floating pulse is a yang pulse. Firmness resides in the Kidney, urgency in the Liver, and fullness in the Lung. The anterior section extending outward corresponds to the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian; the central section extending outward corresponds to the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian; the posterior section extending outward corresponds to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. The central section extending directly forward corresponds to the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian; the central section extending directly inward corresponds to the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian; the central section extending directly backward corresponds to the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. The anterior section extending inward corresponds to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian; the central section extending inward corresponds to the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian; the posterior section extending inward corresponds to the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. The anterior section vibrating left and right corresponds to the Yang Qiao Vessel; the middle section vibrating left and right corresponds to the Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel); the posterior section vibrating left and right corresponds to the Yin Qiao Vessel. Connecting from Shaoyang to Jueyin is the Yin Wei Vessel; connecting from Shaoyin to Taiyang is the Yang Wei Vessel. Coming large and departing small indicates Yin Collaterals; coming small and departing large indicates Yang Collaterals.
The anterior section extending outward belongs to the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian. An active pulse here causes pain in the head, neck, and waist. Floating indicates wind, choppy indicates cold-heat, and tight indicates retained food. The anterior section extending outward belongs to the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian. An active pulse here causes dizziness, and stiffness/pain in the head, neck, waist, and back. In men, it causes dampness in the genital area; in women, it causes menstrual difficulties, lower abdominal pain radiating to Mingmen and the vagina, and uterine closure. Floating indicates wind, choppy indicates cold-blood, slippery indicates consumption-fever, and tight indicates retained food. Acupuncture depth: insert 9 fen, withdraw to 6 fen.
The central section extending outward belongs to the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. An active pulse here causes headache, facial redness, slight slipperiness causing difficulty in defecation, borborygmus, inability to eat, and bi-syndrome in the calves. The central section extending outward belongs to the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. An active pulse here causes headache, facial redness and heat, slight floating and slipperiness causing difficulty in defecation and a sensation of fullness with joy. Slippery indicates fluid retention, choppy indicates lethargy, borborygmus, inability to eat, and foot bi-syndrome. Acupuncture depth: insert 9 fen, withdraw to 6 fen.
The posterior section extending outward belongs to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. An active pulse here causes pain in the waist, back, thighs, legs, and joints. The posterior section extending outward belongs to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. Floating indicates qi stagnation, choppy indicates wind and blood issues, urgent indicates muscle cramps, and wiry indicates consumption. Acupuncture depth: insert 9 fen, withdraw to 6 fen.
