一日太阳经。头痛身热。法当以汗。先年有余。双解散。先年不足。人参败毒饮。假如今年乙未。湿土司天。辰戌
太阴寒水在泉。明年双解散。更有脉虚实浮散。数而大。谓之有余。曰实。短数而微。谓之不足。曰虚。
二日阳明经。当和调中汤。加四苓散。
三日少阳经。小柴胡汤。
四日太阴经身痛。
五日少阴经。口干舌燥。
六日厥阴经当下。
七日六经传遍。又复太阳。又以汗下。
如脉浮紧。大烦者又汗。如脉沉而迟。按下紧实。又下。
如右关脉。是阳明胃土脉。浮紧而洪。头面微红。断日发斑。
男子尺脉常弱。（气有余为无事） 女子尺脉常盛。（血有余为无事）
经曰。女人反此背看之。（女要尺盛而寸弱。男要寸盛而尺弱。）谓之反此。断病亦然。
童女脉。尺弱而寸盛。童子脉。尺盛而寸弱。
男子若尺脉大而浮。名曰虚。必走精。
女子若尺脉浮而大。或沉而微。必经脉不调。半虚漏血之脉。加有孕脉。尺脉紧实而大。至匀调。必是孕妇。更加
吐逆。三个月也。左手尺脉浮大。断曰男。右手尺脉浮大。断曰女。
Palm Diagram of the Six Pulses
If it is the Bingxu year, and one encounters a Bingxu day or hour, provided the patient suffers from a Heart Meridian disease, death will occur at this time coinciding with the same Qi movement. If this day can be survived, treatment is possible.
If it is the Yixi year, and one encounters a Yixi day or hour, provided the patient suffers from a Liver Meridian disease, death will occur at this time coinciding with the same Qi movement. If this day can be survived, treatment is possible.
If it is the Dinghai year, and one encounters a Dinghai day or hour, provided the patient suffers from a Spleen Meridian disease, death will occur at this time coinciding with the same Qi movement. If this day can be survived, treatment is possible.
If it is the Wuwu year, and one encounters a Wuwu day or hour, provided the patient suffers from a Lung Meridian disease, death will occur at this time coinciding with the same Qi movement. If this day can be survived, treatment is possible.
If it is the Jichou year, and one encounters a Jichou day or hour, provided the patient suffers from a Kidney Meridian disease, death will occur at this time coinciding with the same Qi movement. If this day can be survived, treatment is possible.
On the first day, Taiyang disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Taiyang meridian), presenting with headache and fever, the method should be diaphoresis (sweating). If the patient had excess constitution in previous years, use Shuangjie San (Double Resolution Powder); if the patient had deficient constitution in previous years, use Renshen Baidu Yin (Ginseng Decoction for Rescuing from Toxicity). Suppose this year is Yiwei, with Wet Earth ruling the sky (dominating the climate of the first half of the year) and Taiyin Cold Water governing the earth (dominating the climate of the second half of the year in Chen/Xu years). Next year, use Shuangjie San. Furthermore, if the pulse is empty, floating, and scattered, rapid and large, it is called "excess," denoting an Excess pattern; if the pulse is short, rapid, and thready, it is called "deficiency," denoting a Deficiency pattern.
On the second day, Yangming disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Yangming meridian), Tiaozhong Tang (Regulating the Middle Decoction) should be used, added with Siling San (Four Porias Powder).
On the third day, Shaoyang disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Shaoyang meridian), Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) is indicated.
On the fourth day, Taiyin disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Taiyin meridian), body pain occurs.
On the fifth day, Shaoyin disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Shaoyin meridian), dry mouth and parched tongue occur.
On the sixth day, Jueyin disease (a syndrome caused by pathogenic invasion of the Jueyin meridian), purgation (downward draining) is required.
On the seventh day, the transmission through the six meridians is complete, and it returns to Taiyang. Again, apply diaphoresis or purgation as appropriate.
If the pulse is floating and tight, and the patient is extremely vexed, apply diaphoresis again. If the pulse is deep and slow, and feels tight and solid upon pressure, apply purgation again.
If the Right Guan pulse (the position on the radial artery corresponding to the Stomach/Spleen) exhibits the characteristics of the Yangming Stomach Earth pulse, being floating, tight, and surging, with slight redness of the head and face, it is predicted that macules (rash) will erupt.
In men, the Chi pulse (the position on the radial artery corresponding to the Kidneys/Essence) is usually weak. (If Qi is in excess, there is no illness.)
In women, the Chi pulse is usually strong. (If Blood is in excess, there is no illness.)
The Classics state: For women, view it inversely. (Women should have a strong Chi pulse and weak Cun pulse; men should have a strong Cun pulse and weak Chi pulse.) This is called "inverse." Diagnosis of diseases follows this principle similarly.
For unmarried girls, the pulse shows a weak Chi and strong Cun. For unmarried boys, the pulse shows a strong Chi and weak Cun.
If a man's Chi pulse is large and floating, it is named Deficiency, and he will inevitably suffer from spermatorrhea or seminal emission.
If a woman's Chi pulse is floating and large, or deep and thready, she will inevitably suffer from irregular menstruation. This is the pulse of partial deficiency and leaking blood. If combined with the pregnancy pulse, where the Chi pulse is tight, solid, and large, yet regular and harmonious, she is certainly pregnant. If accompanied by vomiting and nausea, it indicates three months of pregnancy. A floating and large Left Chi pulse predicts a male fetus; a floating and large Right Chi pulse predicts a female fetus.
