(不论左右手,其脉从寸左右弹者是也)
一身左右阳专候(是跷主一身左右之阳,)脉得阳跷六腑和,表病里安阳分愆(阳跷在肌
肉之上
,阳脉所行,通贯六腑,主持诸表,故其为病,亦表病里和,)法兼汗下治无讹(洁古云∶
阳病则寒。若在阳表当汗,桂枝汤、麻黄汤。若在阴里当下,大小承气汤。)
(不论左右手,其脉从尺部左右弹者是也。)
诸里相持通五脏(阴跷在肌肉之下,阴脉所行,通贯五脏,主持诸里,故其为病,亦里
病表
和,)脉行左右有阴跷(阴跷主一身左右之阴,)病来阳缓阴多急(阳跷病,阴缓阳急,阴跷病
,阴缓阴急,)诊察须从阴热调(洁古云∶阴病则热,甘草干姜汤。)
(不论左右手,其脉三部中央俱浮,直上直下者是也)
督司阳脉称为海,循背而行遍后身(督脉起胞中,循背而行于身之后,为阳脉之总督,
故为
阳脉之海,)脊强头沉虚实判(督脉为病,实则脊强而发厥,虚则头重,)上冲作痛苦吟呻(督
病又往往自下冲上而痛。)
(不论左右手,其脉丸丸,横于寸口者是也。)
任承阴海因名任(任脉亦起胞中,循腹而行于身之前,为阴脉之承任,故曰阴脉之海,)
天癸从
生阴有阳(任主天癸,乃天之元气,任脉充,然后冲脉旺,月事时下而有子,故真阴之盛,
必由真阳之实,)若使结阴阳气绝,疝瘕崩带腹前殃(任脉病,非阴自病,实由阴中无阳,
故疝瘕崩带,皆结阴之故。)
(Regardless of whether it is the left or right hand, when the pulse beats from the Cun position towards the left and right sides, this is the Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel).)
The Yang Qi on both sides of the body is primarily monitored by the Yang Qiao Mai (Yang Heel Vessel) (The Yang Qiao Mai governs the Yang Qi on both sides of the whole body,),
When the pulse indicates an excess of the Yang Qiao Mai, the Six Fu Organs are harmonious; if there is a Exterior Syndrome while the Interior is peaceful, it indicates a deviation in the distribution of Yang Qi (The Yang Qiao Mai is located above the muscles, serving as the pathway for Yang Meridians, connecting through the Six Fu Organs and governing the exterior manifestations. Therefore, its pathology typically presents as an Exterior Syndrome with a peaceful Interior,),
The treatment methods involving sweating or purging are correct (Jiegu said: Yang diseases manifest as aversion to cold. If the disease is in the Yang Exterior, sweating should be induced using Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction). If the disease is in the Yin Interior, purging should be performed using Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) or Xiaochengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoctor).)
(Regardless of whether it is the left or right hand, when the pulse beats from the Chi position towards the left and right sides, this is the Yin Qiao Mai (Yin Heel Vessel).)
Various pathogens holding each other within involve the Five Zang Organs (The Yin Qiao Mai is located below the muscles, serving as the pathway for Yin Meridians, connecting through the Five Zang Organs and governing the interior manifestations. Therefore, its pathology typically presents as an Interior Syndrome with a peaceful Exterior,)
The pulse qi moves along the left and right sides under the dominance of the Yin Qiao Mai (The Yin Qiao Mai governs the Yin Qi on both sides of the whole body,)
Upon onset, the Yang becomes slack while the Yin becomes tense (In Yang Qiao Mai disease, the Yin side is slack and the Yang side is tense; in Yin Qiao Mai disease, the Yin side is slack and the Yin side is tense,)
Diagnosis and examination require regulation from the perspective of Yin Heat (Jiegu said: Yin diseases manifest as fever, treat with Gancao Ganjiang Tang (Licorice and Dried Ginger Decoction).)
(Regardless of whether it is the left or right hand, when the pulse at the center of all three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) is floating, moving straight up and straight down, this is the Du Mai (Governing Vessel).)
The Du Mai (Governing Vessel), which commands the Yang Meridians, is called the "Sea" (The Du Mai originates from the Bao Zhong (Uterus/Energy Center), travels along the back on the posterior aspect of the body, and serves as the commander of all Yang Meridians, thus being known as the Sea of Yang Meridians,)
Spinal stiffness and heavy head can be differentiated by deficiency and excess (Diseases of the Du Mai: Excess manifests as spinal stiffness and syncope; Deficiency manifests as a heavy head,)
Qi rushing upward causes painful groaning (Du Mai diseases often involve Qi rushing from below upwards causing pain.)
(Regardless of whether it is the left or right hand, when the pulse rolls like pearls and lies horizontally across the Cun Kou (Radial Artery) position, this is the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel).)
The Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) bears the Sea of Yin and is named "Ren" (The Ren Mai also originates from the Bao Zhong, travels along the abdomen on the anterior aspect of the body, and serves as the supporter of all Yin Meridians, thus being called the Sea of Yin Meridians,)
Tian Gui (Heavenly Water/Reproductive Essence) arises from it, containing Yang within Yin (The Ren Mai governs Tian Gui, which is the primordial Qi of Heaven. When the Ren Mai is full, the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) becomes vigorous, menstruation occurs regularly, and conception is possible. Thus, the abundance of True Yin must rely on the solidity of True Yang,)
If Yin and Yang Qi become knotted and cut off, it leads to calamities in the anterior abdomen such as hernia, masses, metrorrhagia, and leukorrhea (Diseases of the Ren Mai are not merely self-inflicted by Yin, but actually arise because there is no Yang within the Yin. Therefore, hernia, masses, metrorrhagia, and leukorrhea are all caused by the knotting of Yin Qi.)
