齐褚澄曰男子阳顺自下生上故右尺为受命之根万物从土而出故右关为脾生右寸肺肺生左
尺肾肾生左关肝肝生左寸心女子阴逆自上生下故左寸为受命之根万物从土而出故左关为脾生
左尺肺肺生右寸肾肾生右关肝肝生右尺心（详褚氏遗书）
华谷储泳曰脉诀以女人尺脉盛弱与男子相反为背看夫男女形体绝异阴阳殊涂男生而覆女
生而仰男则左旋女则右转男主施女主受男之至命在肾处脏腑之极下女之至命在乳处脏腑之极
上形气既异脉行于形气之间岂略不少异耶此褚氏之说为有理也（详祛疑说）
戴起宗曰脉诀因男子左肾右命女子左命右肾之别遂言反此背看而诸家以尺脉盛弱解之褚
氏又以女人心肺诊于尺倒装五脏其谬又甚不知男女形气精血虽异而十二经脉所行始终五脏之
定位则一也安可以女人脉位为反耶
丹溪朱震亨曰昔轩辕使伶伦截懈谷之竹作黄钟律管以候天地之节气使岐伯取气口作脉法
以候人之动气故黄钟之数九分气口之数亦九分律管具而寸之数始形故脉之动也阳得九分阴得
一寸吻合于黄钟天不足西北阳南而阴北故男子寸盛而尺弱肖乎天也地不满东南阳北而阴南故
女子尺盛而寸弱肖乎地也黄钟者气之先兆故能测天地之节候气口者脉之要会故能知人命之死
生世之俗医诵高阳生之妄作欲以治病其不杀人也几希
龙丘叶氏曰脉者天地之元性故男女尺寸盛弱肖乎天地越人以为男生于寅女生于申三阳从
天生三阴从地长谬之甚也独丹溪推本律法混合天人而辟之使千载之误一旦昭然岂不韪哉
褚澄说：男子的阳气顺行，从下向上生长，所以右尺部是受命的根本；万物从土中生出，所以右关部对应脾；脾生肺，所以右寸部对应肺；肺生肾，所以左尺部对应肾；肾生肝，所以左关部对应肝；肝生心，所以左寸部对应心。女子的阴气逆行，从上向下生长，所以左寸部是受命的根本；万物从土中生出，所以左关部对应脾；脾生肺，所以左尺部对应肺；肺生肾，所以右寸部对应肾；肾生肝，所以右关部对应肝；肝生心，所以右尺部对应心。（详见《褚氏遗书》）
华谷储泳说：《脉诀》认为女子尺脉的盛弱与男子相反，这是背道而驰的看法。男女形体截然不同，阴阳路径不同。男子出生时头朝下（覆），女子出生时头朝上（仰）。男子气机左旋，女子气机右转。男子主施予，女子主接受。男子的生命关键在肾脏，位于脏腑的最下方；女子的生命关键在乳房，位于脏腑的最上方。既然形体和气机都不同，脉象运行于形体和气机之间，难道会有丝毫不差异吗？因此褚氏的说法是有道理的。（详见《祛疑说》）
戴起宗说：《脉诀》因为男子左肾右命门、女子左命门右肾的区别，于是说脉位相反，背离常理，而各家又用尺脉盛弱来解释。褚氏又将女人的心肺诊察放在尺部，颠倒五脏位置，其谬误更为严重。不知道男女的形体、气机、精血虽然不同，但十二经脉运行的始终以及五脏的定位是一致的。怎么可以说女子的脉位是相反的呢？
丹溪朱震亨说：从前轩辕黄帝派伶伦截取懈谷的竹子制作黄钟律管，用来观测天地的节气；派岐伯取气口作为脉法，用来观测人的动气。所以黄钟的长度是九分，气口的长度也是九分。律管制成后，寸部的尺度才形成。所以脉动的规律，阳得九分，阴得一寸，与黄钟相吻合。天不足西北，阳在南而阴在北，所以男子寸脉盛而尺脉弱，像天一样；地不满东南，阳在北而阴在南，所以女子尺脉盛而寸脉弱，像地一样。黄钟是气的先兆，所以能测度天地的节候；气口是脉的要会，所以能知晓人命的生死。世间的庸医诵读高阳生的妄作，想要以此治病，不杀人才是侥幸。
龙丘叶氏说：脉是天地原本的属性，所以男女寸尺脉的盛弱效法天地。越人（扁鹊）认为男生于寅、女生于申，三阳从天生，三阴从地长，这种说法谬误极大。只有丹溪推究律法，混合天人道理来驳斥它，使千年的错误一旦昭然若揭，难道不是正确的吗？
Chu Cheng stated: In men, Yang energy follows a smooth trajectory, growing from the bottom upwards; therefore, the Right Chi (Right Cun-Chi pulse position at the wrist) is the root of receiving life. Since all things emerge from Earth, the Right Guan (Middle pulse position) corresponds to the Spleen. The Spleen generates the Lung, so the Right Cun (Upper pulse position) corresponds to the Lung. The Lung generates the Kidney, so the Left Chi corresponds to the Kidney. The Kidney generates the Liver, so the Left Guan corresponds to the Liver. The Liver generates the Heart, so the Left Cun corresponds to the Heart. In women, Yin energy follows a reverse trajectory, descending from the top downwards; therefore, the Left Cun is the root of receiving life. Since all things emerge from Earth, the Left Guan corresponds to the Spleen. The Spleen generates the Lung, so the Left Chi corresponds to the Lung. The Lung generates the Kidney, so the Right Cun corresponds to the Kidney. The Kidney generates the Liver, so the Right Guan corresponds to the Liver. The Liver generates the Heart, so the Right Chi corresponds to the Heart. (See *Chu Shi Yi Shu* for details.)
Hua Gu Chu Yong stated: The *Mai Jue* (Pulse Classic) claims that the fullness and weakness of the Chi pulse in women are opposite to those in men, which is a view running counter to reason. Men and women have completely different physical forms and distinct paths of Yin and Yang. Males are born head-down (covered), while females are born head-up (upright). Male Qi rotates to the left, while female Qi rotates to the right. Males are primarily active in giving, while females are primarily receptive. A man's vital essence resides in the Kidneys, located at the lowest point of the Zang-Fu organs; a woman's vital essence resides in the breasts, located at the highest point of the Zang-Fu organs. Since both form and Qi differ, how can the pulse, which operates within form and Qi, remain unchanged? Thus, Chu's theory is reasonable. (See *Qu Yi Shuo* for details.)
Dai Qizong stated: The *Mai Jue*, due to the distinction between men having the Left Kidney and Right Mingmen (Gate of Life), and women having the Left Mingmen and Right Kidney, claimed the pulse positions were reversed, deviating from orthodoxy. Various schools then explained this using the fullness and weakness of the Chi pulse. Chu further erred by placing the diagnosis of the Heart and Lungs in the Chi position for women, inverting the Five Zang organs, which was an even greater mistake. One must not ignore that although men and women differ in form, Qi, essence, and blood, the course of the Twelve Meridians and the fixed positions of the Five Zang organs remain identical. How can one claim that women's pulse positions are reversed?
Zhu Zhenheng (Danxi) stated: In ancient times, Xuanyuan Huangdi dispatched Linglun to cut bamboo from Xiegu Valley to create the Huangzhong (Yellow Bell) pitch pipe, to observe the solar terms of Heaven and Earth. He dispatched Qibo to take the Qi Kou (Radial Artery) as the method for pulse diagnosis, to observe human dynamic Qi. Therefore, the Huangzhong measure is nine fen, and the Qi Kou measure is also nine fen. Once the pitch pipe was established, the Cun measurement took shape. Thus, in pulse movement, Yang obtains nine fen, and Yin obtains one cun, aligning with the Huangzhong. Heaven is deficient in the northwest, with Yang in the South and Yin in the North; thus, men have a strong Cun pulse and weak Chi pulse, resembling Heaven. Earth is incomplete in the southeast, with Yang in the North and Yin in the South; thus, women have a strong Chi pulse and weak Cun pulse, resembling Earth. The Huangzhong is the precursor of Qi, capable of measuring celestial and terrestrial seasons; the Qi Kou is the convergence of pulses, capable of knowing life and death. Vulgar doctors of the world recite the fabricated works of Gaoyang Sheng, attempting to treat diseases with them; it would be rare if they did not cause death.
Ye of Longqiu stated: Pulse is the original nature of Heaven and Earth; thus, the fullness and weakness of Cun and Chi in men and women emulate Heaven and Earth. Yue Ren (Bian Que) believed males are born in Yin and females in Shen, with Three Yang generated from Heaven and Three Yin grown from Earth. This error is extremely serious. Only Danxi traced back to the laws of pitch pipes, integrating Heaven and Humanity to refute this, making millennia-old errors clear overnight. Is this not correct?
