脉大为劳，脉虚亦为劳。大而无力为阳虚，数而无力为阴虚。沉迟小为脱气，大而芤为脱血，细微而
小为气血俱虚。寸弱而软为上虚，尺弱而涩为下虚。两关沉细为胃虚，弦为中虚。凡细数弱涩弦，皆劳伤脉，
但渐缓则有生意，若弦甚者病必进，数甚者病必危。

脉象宏大是劳损的表现，脉象虚弱也是劳损的表现。脉大且无力属于阳虚，脉数且无力属于阴虚。脉沉迟细小是元气脱失，脉大且中空（芤脉）是血液脱失，脉细微且小是气血俱虚。寸口脉弱而软是上焦虚损，尺部脉弱而涩是下焦虚损。两关部脉沉细是胃气虚弱，脉弦是中气虚弱。凡是脉细、数、弱、涩、弦，都是劳伤病的脉象，但如果脉象逐渐缓和，则说明有生机；如果脉弦特别严重，病情必然进展；如果脉数特别严重，病情必然危重。

A large pulse indicates consumption (Lao), and a deficient pulse also indicates consumption. A large but forceless pulse indicates Yang deficiency; a rapid but forceless pulse indicates Yin deficiency. A deep, slow, and small pulse indicates Qi depletion; a large and hollow (Kou) pulse indicates Blood depletion; a minute and small pulse indicates both Qi and Blood deficiency. A weak and soft pulse at the Cun position indicates Upper Jiao deficiency; a weak and choppy pulse at the Chi position indicates Lower Jiao deficiency. A deep and fine pulse at both Guan positions indicates Stomach Qi deficiency; a wiry pulse indicates Middle Qi deficiency. Any pulse that is fine, rapid, weak, choppy, or wiry are all pulses of injury from consumption. However, if the pulse gradually becomes harmonious, there is vitality; if the pulse is excessively wiry, the disease will inevitably progress; if the pulse is excessively rapid, the condition will be critical.
