尺寸俱浮属巨阳。一二日内病如常。经络一连风府穴。头项痛兮腰脊强。（仲景云。尺寸俱浮者。太阳受病。当一二
日发。以其上连风府。故头项痛。腰脊强。）脉长阳明为受病。二三日内斯为应。挟鼻络目是其经。目痛鼻干眠不稳。（仲
景。尺寸俱长者。阳明受病也。当二三日发。以其脉挟鼻络于目。故身热目疼。鼻干。不得卧也。）少阳经络贯耳中。脉
弦胁痛耳应聋。四日以前皆在腑。汗之即退易为功。（仲景云。尺寸俱弦者。少阳受病也。当三四日发。以脉循胁于耳。
故胸胁痛。而耳聋。此三经受病。未入脏。故可汗也。）四五日中得太阴。太阴之脉细而沉。布胃络嗌嗌干燥。脾宫腹满
病难禁。（仲景云。尺寸俱沉细者。太阴受病也。当四五日发。以其脉布胃中。络于嗌。故腹满而嗌干矣。）少阴传到脉
沉紧。贯肾络肺系舌本。口燥舌干渴不休。五六日中病有准。（尺寸脉俱沉者。少阴受病也。当五六日发。以其脉贯肾。
络于肺。系舌本。故口燥舌干而渴。）七八日至厥阴经。烦满囊缩可忧惊。三阴受邪已入脏。却宜泻下自和平。（仲景云。
尺寸俱微缓者。厥阴受病也。当六七日发。以其循阴器络于肝。故烦满而囊缩。必三阴皆已入脏。故可下而已也。）六经
已尽传亦遍。土不受邪脉来缓。水火相交气已和。云与雨至斯为汗。（若传至厥阴。其脉来缓者。脾土不再受克。故水升
火降。气和而大汗解矣。）
寸脉和尺脉都呈现浮象，属于太阳经（足太阳膀胱经）受病。发病在一到两天内，症状表现如常。其经络连接风府穴，导致头部和后颈部疼痛，腰部及脊柱僵硬。（张仲景说：寸脉和尺脉都浮的，是太阳经受邪，应当在一两天内发作。因为经脉上连风府穴，所以出现头痛、项强、腰脊僵硬的症状。）
脉象长，是阳明经（足阳明胃经）受病的表现。发病在二到三天内，这是符合病程规律的。其经脉夹持鼻部并联络眼部，症状表现为眼睛疼痛、鼻子干燥、睡眠不安稳。（张仲景说：寸脉和尺脉都长的，是阳明经受邪。应当在两三天内发作，因为经脉夹鼻络目，所以出现身热、眼痛、鼻干、不能安卧的症状。）
少阳经（足少阳胆经）的经络贯穿耳中，脉象弦细，伴有胁肋疼痛和耳朵听力减退或耳聋。发病在四天以前，病邪仍在腑，采用发汗法治疗即可退热，容易见效。（张仲景说：寸脉和尺脉都弦的，是少阳经受邪。应当在三到四天内发作，因为经脉循行于胁肋并联系耳朵，所以出现胸胁疼痛和耳聋。这三经受邪，尚未入脏，所以可以用发汗法治疗。）
发病在四到五天，病传至太阴经（足太阴脾经）。太阴经的脉象细而沉，经脉分布于胃部并联络咽喉，症状表现为腹部胀满，喉咙干燥，脾脏功能失调导致的腹痛难以忍受。（张仲景说：寸脉和尺脉都沉细的，是太阴经受邪。应当在四到五天内发作，因为经脉布于胃中，络于咽喉，所以出现腹满和咽喉干燥的症状。）
少阴经（足少阴肾经）传变时，脉象沉紧，经脉贯穿肾脏并联络肺系和舌根，症状表现为口燥、舌干、口渴不止。发病在五到六天，病情有确定的规律。（寸脉和尺脉都沉的，是少阴经受邪。应当在五到六天内发作，因为经脉贯肾络肺，系舌本，所以出现口燥、舌干而渴的症状。）
发病在七到八天，病至厥阴经（足厥阴肝经），症状表现为心中烦闷、腹部胀满、阴囊收缩，令人担忧惊恐。三阴经受邪已经入脏，适宜采用泻下法治疗，身体自然恢复平和。（张仲景说：寸脉和尺脉都微缓的，是厥阴经受邪。应当在六到七天内发作，因为经脉循行于阴器并络于肝脏，所以出现烦闷和阴囊收缩。必须三阴都已入脏，所以可以用泻下法治愈。）
六经传变已经完毕，病邪遍及各经，但脾土不再受邪气克制，脉象来势缓和。水火相交，气机调和，如同云雨降临，通过大汗而解。（如果病传至厥阴，脉象来势缓和，说明脾土不再受克，因此水升火降，气机调和，通过大汗而解。）
The cun (distal) and chi (proximal) pulses are both floating, indicating disease in the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel. Within one to two days, the illness presents as usual. The meridian connects to the Fengfu acupoint, causing pain in the head and neck, and stiffness in the waist and spine. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: When the cun and chi pulses are both floating, it is disease of the Taiyang channel, which should manifest within one or two days. Because it connects superiorly to the Fengfu point, headache, stiff neck, and stiffness of the lumbar spine occur.)
A long pulse indicates disease in the Yangming (Bright Yang) channel. Manifesting within two to three days, this follows the expected progression. The meridian runs alongside the nose and connects to the eyes, resulting in eye pain, nasal dryness, and restless sleep. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: When the cun and chi pulses are both long, it is disease of the Yangming channel, which should manifest within two or three days. Because the vessel runs alongside the nose and connects to the eyes, fever, eye pain, nasal dryness, and inability to lie down occur.)
The Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) channel passes through the ear; the pulse is wiry, accompanied by hypochondriac pain and deafness. Before the fourth day, the pathogen remains in the Fu organs; inducing sweating will resolve the condition easily. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: When the cun and chi pulses are both wiry, it is disease of the Shaoyang channel, which should manifest within three or four days. Because the vessel courses along the hypochondrium and connects to the ear, chest and hypochondriac pain and deafness occur. Since these three channels are diseased but have not entered the Zang organs, sweating therapy is applicable.)
By the fourth or fifth day, disease reaches the Taiyin (Greater Yin) channel. The Taiyin pulse is fine and deep. The meridian distributes in the stomach and connects to the throat, causing abdominal fullness, dry throat, and unbearable abdominal pain due to Spleen dysfunction. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: When the cun and chi pulses are both fine and deep, it is disease of the Taiyin channel, which should manifest within four or five days. Because the vessel distributes in the stomach and connects to the throat, abdominal fullness and dry throat occur.)
Transmission to the Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) channel presents with a deep and tight pulse. The meridian penetrates the Kidney, connects to the Lung system and the root of the tongue, causing dry mouth, dry tongue, and unceasing thirst. By the fifth or sixth day, the disease pattern is established. (When the cun and chi pulses are both deep, it is disease of the Shaoyin channel, which should manifest within five or six days. Because the vessel penetrates the Kidney, connects to the Lung, and ties to the root of the tongue, dry mouth, dry tongue, and thirst occur.)
By the seventh or eighth day, disease reaches the Jueyin (Terminal Yin) channel, characterized by vexation, fullness, and retraction of the testicles, causing worry and alarm. Disease in the Three Yin channels has entered the Zang organs; purgative therapy is appropriate to restore harmony. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: When the cun and chi pulses are both slightly slow and relaxed, it is disease of the Jueyin channel, which should manifest within six or seven days. Because the vessel courses along the genitalia and connects to the Liver, vexation, fullness, and retraction of the testicles occur. Once the Three Yin channels have entered the Zang organs, purgation can cure the disease.)
After the transmission through the Six Channels is complete and pervasive, the Earth element no longer receives pathogenic attack, and the pulse becomes slow. Water and Fire interact, Qi harmonizes, resembling rain from clouds; recovery occurs through profuse sweating. (If transmission reaches Jueyin and the pulse is slow, the Spleen Earth is no longer overcontrolled, allowing Water to ascend and Fire to descend. Qi harmonizes, leading to resolution through profuse sweating.)
