Pulse diagnosis is a very important part of TCM diagnosis, and it is also a unique difference between TCM and western medicine. At some point, it even became synonymous with Chinese medicine. It is not often heard that Chinese medicine is "three fingers and one pillow".
Since pulse diagnosis is so important, how did it gradually form and develop in the long history of people's struggle with diseases?
According to research, around the 5th century BC, pulse diagnosis was widely used in China. Because of its long history, its founder can not be tested.
According to historical records, pulse diagnosis was the first, and it was recorded that when Guo was saved, he was diagnosed with nine and three methods. Chunyu Kun, a public servant in Taicang, mentioned in Historical Records that Cang Gong needed to feel his pulse when he was treating diseases.
The theory of pulse condition and the method of pulse-cutting are discussed in Neijing, and the method of "only taking an inch to feel the pulse" is put forward in Difficult Classic for the first time. Zhang Zhongjing creatively summarized the clinical experience before the Han Dynasty and established the principle of flat pulse syndrome differentiation. Wang Shuhe's "Pulse Classic" in the Western Jin Dynasty collected the achievements of pulse science before the Han Dynasty, identified 24 kinds of pulse conditions, and created a precedent for pulse condition recognition. It has had a wide and far-reaching impact on later generations and world medicine.
Zhang Ming's Jing Yue Quan Shu has a detailed discussion on the spirit of pulse condition, the constant change of pulse condition and the forward and reverse of pulse condition. Li Mingzhizhen's "Frequency Lake Pulse" has 27 pulses, which is concise, easy to understand and well-known.
Later works, such as Li Shilin's Eye for Examiners, Li Yangang's Collection of Pulse Tactics, Rizo's Diagnosing Samadhi, Huang Gongxiu's Pulse Theory Seeking Truth, Zhou Xueting's Three Fingers Zen, and other pulse theory and clinical experience mutually confirm, and are also very practical.
As can be seen from the above introduction, with the rich medical experience, the research on pulse diagnosis is getting deeper and deeper. In today's era of rapid development of science and technology, pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine should also be studied by means of modern science and technology to serve the masses more conveniently and accurately.
Pulse diagnosis and telepathy
Family diagnosis should have four veins, which rise and fall later. The weight of ups and downs refers to learning ①, followed by interest priority ②. Floating without strength is empty, and floating without strength is flood. Weak pulse is weak (4), weak pulse is solid. The late and powerful slippery pulse accounts for ⑤, and the late and powerless slow and astringent ⑤. The strong sign is tight string ⑦, and the weak sign is pulse ⑧. Floating late is superficial deficiency, and sinking late is extremely cold. Floating number originally indicates that heat is true, while sinking number originally indicates heat inflammation. This statement is not from ancient books, it is my secret.
Press: The more complicated pulse science is, the more difficult it is for beginners to master it. The predecessors once said: "What is clear about the pulse is not necessarily clear about the book, and what is clear about the heart is not necessarily clear about the opponent." The so-called "things in the chest are hard to understand." This formula takes the four pulses of floating, sinking, delaying and counting as the key link, and then divides them into ten pulse conditions, such as virtual, real, pan and weak. This pulse-cutting method, which is based on an outline, from simple to complex, and from easy to difficult, makes it easy for beginners to master. The author's description of pulse condition is not comprehensive enough, and sometimes it is inconsistent with the pulse condition theory of past dynasties. However, because the author has stated that "this statement is the secret knowledge in my heart", it has not been revised. Readers can refer to other pulse studies and combine practice to confirm each other.

(1) Put your hand lightly on the skin you see, that is, floating veins. Heavy hand pressure until the muscles begin to see each other is called sinking pulse.
(2) One breath is called one breath. One pulse to three is called slow pulse. One breathing pulse reaches six, which is called counting pulse. (No.:Read the new moon, say it quickly. )
(3) Pulse deficiency, too late and too deep, insufficient pressing, implicit meaning and emptiness.
(4) Very deep and thin, what you press is what you get, and what you raise your hand is what you don't get. Call it a weak vein.
⑤ Cui pulse definitely refers to slippery pulse: "late and powerful, smooth and smooth", "slippery pulse is like a pearl, come and turn".
6 slow pulse: one breath to four times, which should mean gentle and even. Staggered pulse: thin and late, difficult to communicate.
⑦ Tight pulse: Strong communication, playing left and right, counting like cutting a rope. Chord pulse: the end is straight, as long as the bowstring.
⑧ "Pulse Sutra" says: The pulse is big and swollen, and it is solid on both sides in the middle, like a twisted onion.
Major diseases of various veins
Floating is bleeding due to wind deficiency, sliding is vomiting due to heat, and the string is tight and painful. If it is flooding, it will cause more fever. The pain of cold accumulation is mild: ① cold accumulation, slowing down wind deficiency and lack of blood, late illness, cold accumulation attack, qi and blood weakness. Long-term fever and short-term eating, deficiency of pulse and more trance, promoting heat at ③ margin, yin cold at ④ knot, bleeding collapse drenching in shock at ⑤ movement, taking the syndrome of being stuck in prison ⑤ as cold and painful wood, replacing ⑤ as healthy qi drifting away, and essence being lean.

① Micro-pulse: extremely fine and deep. If there is one, it will heartbroken, and the number is unknown.
② Pulse: collapse and weakness, such as cotton wadding floating in water, which leads to blood deficiency and dampness. Weak pulse governs qi deficiency.
③ Tongmai: The ancients had two explanations, one was Tongmai (pulse meridian); Pulse number is also called pulse promotion (outline of pulse science).
4 knot pulse: communication is slow, stop once.
⑤ Arteries: The ancients had two explanations. As soon as I say, "You can see when you close your pulse. It is headless and tailless, as big as a bean, and you faint and shake" (Hu Ling Pulse). One is "the number jumps and the name moves suddenly" (He Mengyao in Collection of Pulse Studies).
⑥ Fast pulse: It seems heavy and crouching, but in fact it is big and long, with slight strings.
⑦ generation pulse: stop when you move, and you can't return by yourself, but recover after a long time. And if there is a constant, it must stop by the number.
⑧ Pulse: thin and straight. If it is a silk thread, it should be pointed. It is characterized by narrow pulse and small fluctuation.
Pulse diagnosis is always necessary.
The meaning in the pulse condition is extremely mysterious, and the diagnosis is clear at a glance. Left inch heart pulse floating, left liver and gallbladder pulse long, right lung pulse floating short, right spleen and stomach slow, feet belong to the kidney, safe and sound.
Spring pulse string summer pulse hook, autumn pulse hair winter pulse stone ①, timely for good or ill luck, we must carefully distinguish between life and grams.
When the left-handed person welcomes the ② pulse, it is wind, cold, summer heat and dampness, and aversion to cold and fever is more common. Four pulse and four diseases should be examined accurately. Floating without strength is a cold, floating without strength is typhoid fever, floating without strength is summer sadness, floating without strength is wet, and dispersing without strength is also good, so it is necessary to use drugs to ensure life safety.
When the pulse in the right hand is full, it is an internal injury and eating disorder. Internal injury, fatigue, pulse floating, diet injury and spleen pulse floating. There are also seven emotions entangled in it, like to dispel anger and trouble, and worry about it. When they are sad, they worry about it, they are afraid of it. When they are frightened, their pulse will fluctuate, which will calm their stomachs and ensure their safety. Real lack will damage their lives.
Left Guan pulse is more than liver; The right guan pulse is astringent, and the spleen and soil are insufficient. Left astringency, deficiency of qi and blood; The right pass is slippery and the food is piled up. Bloody stool in the left foot, bloody stool in the right foot, late left foot, weak yang and fierce right foot.
No.4 will make peace, and there will be no catastrophe. On the 3rd, it will be a belated defeat. Number two, it will be a cloud. On the 6th, it will be seven to the extreme. There will be nine risks and ten risks on the eighth. Pulse has no ups and downs of yin and yang, pulse has no ups and downs of origin, and it will stop frequently before long. Direct decision, unambiguous. Generally speaking, you should count your pulse. After 50 years old, you won't be sick, which means that Xinxin has a lot of business, although she will feel at ease when she is sick.

① Tick: the pulse comes late and goes late, which is the current generalized pulse. Mao: It is today's floating pulse. Li said that it is floating and astringent. Stone: The pulse is slippery.
(2) Welcome: the customs clearance part is divided into upper, middle and lower parts, which are close to the upper third inch. The left hand is called welcome and the right hand is called empty mouth.
Six methods of pulse diagnosis
Pulse-taking means looking at the heart first, and the heart pulse floats in a straight line. Floating and powerful heart meridian is hot, and heat dominates tongue and hurts urine. A cold is cold and a headache is cold and hot. Tremor, palpitation, heaviness and weakness. The upper coke stores heat and floods. (Heart pulse)
The second time I saw the liver, the string was very long, but it didn't hurt to be sick. Suddenly, there was a strong wind, flooding and malaria. Slightly astringent, originally less yin and less blood. Count it as slow anger (king 1 king of sound. Thin). The facts have told us too much. Sinking into the void is also common. (Liver pulse)
The kidney pulse is heavy and there is no disease. Hong Da should know that yin and fire are born. Men are slightly short of money, and women are defined as pregnant. The string is extremely tight and blood is flowing. The waist and flank are even slightly heavier. Fifth, upset and weak. Karoshi, restless. (kidney pulse)
The right inch is short and astringent, and the lung is clean and the disease is not dry. Pathogens rushed up and coughed frequently, and Hong Daming watched it carefully. Tight strings will definitely make your throat dry. Chest heat is difficult to settle. Floating and powerful exogenous wind. Sinking leads to carbuncle, while slipping leads to phlegm. (pulmonary pulse)
Spleen dryness should be slow, and slippery will hurt food. Hong Da's stomach is on fire, and his string is bound to suffer from malaria in the north. Sweating profusely, diarrhea, abdominal distension. Burping and swallowing acid is a heat problem. The edema of limbs is not controlled by soil, and the renal pulse is slightly seen. (Spleen pulse)
Life and fire are only quiet, though not sick. If prosperity becomes a disaster, night sweats due to yin deficiency will disappear badly. Floating water, hematemesis, nocturnal emission. Slippery, blurred vision, deafness. Delayed multi-edge cooling. Women should be pregnant if they are prosperous. (the pulse of the door of life)
