《脉诀》要点指出：诊脉时若按之脉象沉，可知是气病；若脉象沉极、伏匿、涩滞或微弱，则属难治之证；若脉象沉而兼见滑象，则为痰饮内停之脉。
一、七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）损伤气机，导致气郁结而不舒畅，出现痞闷、壅塞等症状，进而引发各种疾病。诊治时应详细查明起因，判断病邪滞留于哪一经络，根据病变在上部还是下部，遵循经络辨证原则用药。
一、《局方》（《太平惠民和剂局方》）多用辛香燥热性质的药物来治疗气病。如果确实是因为冷气停滞不散，使用香燥药物是可以的；但如果脉象显示受火邪侵袭，必须加入苦寒性质的药物以辅助制约。
一、有人说“气病没有补法”，这是世俗的错误言论。如果病症表现为痞满壅塞，似乎难以进补，但不思考正气虚弱导致无法营运气血，邪气才停留体内，若不采用补法，气如何能恢复？
一、因忧思过度导致五脏不和、三焦气滞、胸膈气满疼痛、喘息，宜使用流气饮、分气紫苏饮、分心气饮。
一、气不调顺，导致胸膈膨胀、喘咳、面部浮肿，宜使用木香流气饮。

The *Mai Jue* (Pulse Resolution) states: When taking the pulse, if it is deep (*Chen*), it indicates Qi disorder; if the pulse is extremely deep, hidden (*Fu*), choppy (*Se*), or weak (*Ruo*), it is difficult to treat; if the pulse is deep and slippery (*Hua*), it indicates Phlegm-Fluid retention.
1. The Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sorrow, Fear, Fright) damage Qi, leading to Qi stagnation and discomfort, resulting in epigastric fullness, obstruction, and various diseases. One must carefully investigate the cause and determine which meridian is affected. Treatment should follow the meridian principles according to whether the pathology is located superiorly or inferiorly.
2. The *Ju Fang* (Formulas of the Bureau of People's Welfare) often uses acrid, aromatic, dry, and hot herbs to treat Qi disorders. If the condition is indeed caused by cold Qi stagnation that does not dissipate, using aromatic and dry herbs is appropriate. However, if the pulse indicates Fire pathogen invasion, bitter-cold herbs must be added to assist in counteracting it.
3. To regulate Lung Qi, Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus) must be used, but excessive consumption will damage the supreme Qi in the chest.
4. To drain Liver Qi, Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) must be used, but excessive consumption will also damage True Qi.
5. Some say "there is no method for tonifying Qi," which is a secular fallacy. If the disease presents with epigastric fullness and obstruction, it may seem difficult to tonify. However, one must consider that deficiency of Righteous Qi leads to an inability to circulate and transport, allowing Pathogenic Qi to remain. Without using tonification methods, how can Qi recover?
6. Due to excessive worry and pensiveness causing disharmony among the Five Viscera, Qi stagnation in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), chest and diaphragmatic fullness, pain, and panting, Liu Qi Yin (Flowing Qi Decoction), Fen Qi Zi Su Yin (Separating Qi Perilla Decoction), and Fen Xin Qi Yin (Separating Heart Qi Decoction) are indicated.
7. For failure of Qi ascending and descending, resulting in Lung Qi rebellious panting and chest/diaphragmatic distension, Su Zi Jiang Qi Tang (Perilla Seed Descending Qi Decoction) is indicated.
8. For irregular Qi flow, resulting in chest/diaphragmatic distension, panting and cough, and facial edema, Mu Xiang Liu Qi Yin (Costus Flowing Qi Decoction) is indicated.
9. For Qi stagnation due to the Seven Emotions causing severe colic in the heart and abdomen, Qi Qi Tang (Seven Qi Decoction) and Zhi Mi Qi Qi Tang (Pointing to Confusion Seven Qi Decoction) are indicated.
