肝脏的象类属于木。在春季旺盛。其脉象表现为弦脉。其神志为魂。其外在征候反映于眼睛。其荣华表现于指甲。其充养组织为筋腱。其声音特征为呼号。其气味特征为臊味。
其口味偏好酸味。其体液为泪。其对应颜色为青色。其功能为贮藏血液。足厥阴肝经是其所属经脉。与胆腑相表里配合。胆为腑主表，肝为脏主里。
肝气盛实则血有余，病症表现为眼睛发红，两侧胁肋下疼痛并牵引至小腹，容易发怒。若气机上逆，则出现头晕目眩、耳聋听力不灵敏、面颊肿胀，这是肝气实证，应当采用泻法治疗。
肝气不足，则病症表现为视力模糊不清，两侧胁肋拘急挛缩，筋脉抽搐，不能深长呼吸，指甲干枯面色青暗，容易悲伤恐惧，感觉像被人追捕一样，这是肝气虚证，应当采用补法治疗。
在四季中，肝病在夏季痊愈；如果夏季未愈，病情会在秋季加重；如果秋季不死，病情会在冬季维持稳定；到春季开始好转。
在日干中，丙丁日（火日）痊愈；如果丙丁日未愈，病情会在庚辛日（金日）加重；如果庚辛日不死，病情会在壬癸日（水日）维持稳定；到甲乙日（木日）开始好转。
在一天的时辰中，平旦（清晨）精神清爽，下午申时（傍晚）病情加重，夜半子时安静平稳。禁忌直接吹当风。
肝部脉诊位置在左手关部。关部脉象来去从容，如同按压琴瑟之弦，又像举起长竿。春季以胃气为本。春季肝木旺盛，其脉象弦细而长，这是正常的平脉。
如果反而得到微涩而短的脉象，这是肺金乘袭肝木，即金克木，称为贼邪。大逆之症难以治愈。
如果反而得到浮大而洪的脉象，这是心火乘袭肝木，即子乘母，为实邪。虽然生病但应当痊愈。
如果反而得到沉濡而滑的脉象，这是肾水乘袭肝木，即母克子，为虚邪。虽然生病但应当痊愈。
如果反而得到缓大而软的脉象，这是脾土乘袭肝木，即土凌木，为微邪。虽然生病但不会死亡。
肝脉来时充盈坚实且滑利，如同触摸长竿，称为平脉或病脉中的轻症。肝脉来时急促且强劲，如同新拉开的弓弦，称为肝死脉。
真肝脉到来时，中外皆急，如同触摸刀刃，啧啧作响，又如同新拉开的弓弦，面色青白无光泽，毫毛枯折，此时患者将死亡。
(There are eleven clauses in total.)
The Liver corresponds to Wood. It flourishes in Spring. Its pulse is wiry (Xian). Its spirit is Hun (Ethereal Soul). Its manifestation is in the eyes. Its glory is reflected in the nails. Its nourishment is in the tendons (Jin). Its sound is shouting. Its odor is fishy/skunky (Sao).
Its taste preference is sour. Its fluid is tears. Its color is green. Its function is storing blood. The Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian is its affiliated meridian. It combines with the Gallbladder. The Gallbladder, as a Fu organ, governs the exterior; the Liver, as a Zang organ, governs the interior.
Excess Liver Qi results in surplus blood, leading to symptoms such as red eyes, pain in the hypochondriac regions radiating to the lower abdomen, and irritability. If Qi rebels upward, it causes dizziness, deafness, and swelling of the cheeks. This is Excess of Liver Qi, which should be treated by draining (Xie).
Deficiency of Liver Qi leads to symptoms such as blurred vision, stiffness and spasm in the hypochondriac regions, tendon cramps, inability to take deep breaths, dry nails, and a cyan complexion. There is also excessive sadness and fear, feeling as if being pursued. This is Deficiency of Liver Qi, which should be treated by tonifying (Bu).
In the four seasons, Liver diseases heal in Summer. If they do not heal in Summer, they worsen in Autumn. If death does not occur in Autumn, the condition stabilizes in Winter, and begins to recover in Spring.
Regarding the Heavenly Stems, recovery occurs on Bing and Ding days (Fire). If not recovered on Bing/Ding days, the condition worsens on Geng and Xin days (Metal). If death does not occur on Geng/Xin days, the condition stabilizes on Ren and Gui days (Water), and begins to recover on Jia and Yi days (Wood).
During the day, clarity prevails at dawn (Pingdan), worsening in the late afternoon (Xabu), and quieting at midnight (Zi Ban). One must avoid exposure to wind.
The Liver pulse position is at the Guan (Cun) position on the left hand. At the Guan position, the pulse comes and goes gracefully, like pressing the strings of a zither or lifting a long pole. In Spring, Stomach Qi is fundamental. In Spring, Liver Wood is flourishing, and its pulse is wiry, thin, and long; this is a Normal Pulse (Ping Mai).
If instead a faint, choppy, and short pulse is obtained, this is Lung Metal overacting on Liver Wood (Metal overcoming Wood), termed "Thief Evil" (Ze Xie). This is a great reversal and is difficult to cure.
If instead a floating, large, and surging pulse is obtained, this is Heart Fire overacting on Liver Wood (Child overacting on Mother), representing Excess Evil. Although sick, recovery is expected.
If instead a deep, soft, and slippery pulse is obtained, this is Kidney Water overacting on Liver Wood (Mother overcoming Child), representing Deficient Evil. Although sick, recovery is expected.
If instead a moderate and large pulse is obtained, this is Spleen Earth overacting on Liver Wood (Earth suppressing Wood), representing Minor Evil. Although sick, death will not occur.
When the Liver pulse arrives full, solid, and slippery, like tracing a long pole, it is called a Normal Pulse or mild disease. When the Liver pulse arrives rapid and vigorous, like a newly strung bowstring, it is called a Liver Death Pulse.
When the True Liver pulse arrives, tight inside and out like touching a knife's edge, sounding crisp like a newly strung bowstring, with a cyan-white complexion lacking luster, and brittle hair, the patient will die.
