Taisu Pulse Diagnosis takes light-clear (Qingqing) and heavy-turbid (Zhongzhuo) as its theoretical basis. Light-clear belongs to Yang, representing wealth and honor. Heavy-turbid belongs to Yin, representing poverty and low status. For men, the Liver Wood section is primary, used to determine the height or lowliness of fame and achievement. For women, the Lung Metal Dui position is primary, used to determine virtue and fortune. Moreover, regarding light-clear pulses: like fingers touching jade, pure and warm, distinct upon pressure, the six pulses do not overcome each other, like a source flowing long, uninterrupted even if there are minor ailments, remaining clear and not turbid. This indicates a person with a harmonious nature, sharp intellect, high official rank, and promotion. This is the light-clear pulse. Heavy-turbid pulses are indistinct upon pressure, like scattering dry sand, filling the fingers with chaotic readings. Larger at the front and smaller at the back, mixed breath counts, overcoming the self. This is the heavy-turbid pulse. Examining carefully with the fingers ensures no mistakes.
