孙尚药曰凡诊脉先视人之长短肥瘦形气相得者不病形气不相得者病形气损者危形气反者
死形
气既反脉又加之悬绝者形气俱病见者立死故人长脉亦长人短脉亦短人肥脉亦浓人瘦脉亦急此
形气之相得也然人赖五行以生而常为八邪所攻若非次有误中他邪得病亦易为治疗谓形气相得
也形气不相得而反者谓人长脉短之类若得病必难拯治此是人之气候无病者不久当病病者危危
者死矣切须畏忌撙节和气养神勿更恣意不慎转耗天真深思深思(鸡峰方)
福唐人梁绲心脾部位疼痛，数年之间无法痊愈，服药也无效。有人教他供奉秽迹神并持诵咒语。过了很久，他在梦中被告知：“给你一种良药，名叫‘一服饮’。可以取高良姜、香附子等分，按照本条目的方法修制，研成细末，每次用二钱匕的量，用温热的陈米汤送下，空腹服用效果最佳，不需要再服用。”后来果然灵验，之后曾用来救治他人，也都有效。（《类编百一选方》说这两味药必须分别炒过后混合再同炒，否则无效。）
诊脉通常以清晨（平旦）为宜，此时阴气未动，阳气未散，饮食未进，经脉未盛，络脉调均，气血未乱，因此才可以诊察有过失的脉象。（《千金方》）
切按脉搏的动静，观察眼睛的神采，审视五色，考察五脏的有余和不足，六腑的强和弱，形体的盛和衰，以此综合判断死生的界限。（《千金方》）
十二经都有动脉，唯独取寸口脉来决断五脏六腑的死生吉凶。寸口是脉的大会合处，是手太阴肺经的动脉。人一呼，脉行三寸；一吸，脉行三寸；呼吸定息（一次完整的呼吸），脉行六寸。人一天一夜共有一万三千五百次呼吸，脉行五十周，循环全身，漏壶滴水一百刻，营卫之气在阴阳各运行二十五周为一周。所以五十周后重新会合于手太阴肺经。太阴即寸口，也就是五脏六腑的终始之处。（《千金方》）
孙尚药说：凡是诊脉，先要看人的身高长短、体型肥瘦，形体与气息相协调的就不生病，形体与气息不相协调的就生病，形体与气息亏损的就危险，形体与气息相反的就死亡。如果形体与气息已经相反，脉象又出现悬绝的情况，说明形体与气息都病了，见到这种情况的人立刻就会死亡。例如，人长脉也长，人短脉也短，人肥脉也浓（盛大），人瘦脉也急（急促），这是形体与气息相协调的表现。然而，人依赖五行而生，却常受八邪的攻击，如果不是次序有误而中了他邪致病，也容易治疗，这叫做“形气相得”。如果形体与气息不相协调且相反，比如人长脉短之类，若得了病，一定难以救治。这是人的气候（生理状态），无病者不久将会生病，生病者处于危险境地，危险者将死亡。务必小心忌讳，节制调和气息，养护精神，不要更加放纵心意、不慎行事，从而耗损天真之气，要深思，深思。（《鸡峰方》）
Liang Gun from Futang suffered from pain in the heart and spleen for several years without cure, and medication was ineffective. Someone advised him to worship the Huiji Deity (Deity of Filthy Traces) and recite mantras. After a long time, he was told in a dream: "I will give you a good medicine named Yifu Yin (One-Dose Drink). Take equal parts of Galangal Rhizome (Gaoliangjiang) and Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfuzi), process them according to the specific instructions, grind into fine powder, take two qianbi (a traditional measure) each time, administer with warm aged rice water, best taken on an empty stomach, no need for further doses." It proved effective later. He subsequently used it to treat others, all of whom were effective. (Note: *Leibian Baiyi Xuanfang* states that these two herbs must be stir-fried separately, then mixed and stir-fried together; otherwise, it is ineffective.)
Pulse diagnosis is usually performed at dawn (Pingdan), when Yin Qi (Yin Energy) has not yet stirred, Yang Qi (Yang Energy) has not yet dispersed, food and drink have not been ingested, the Jingmai (Meridians) are not yet full, the Luomai (Collaterals) are balanced, and Qi and Blood are not yet disturbed. Therefore, only then can one diagnose abnormal pulses. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
By palpating the pulse's movement and stillness, observing the clarity of the eyes (Jingming), examining the Five Colors, assessing the excess and deficiency of the Zang organs (Solid Organs), the strength and weakness of the Fu organs (Hollow Organs), and the flourishing and declining state of the body form, one can comprehensively determine the division between life and death. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
All twelve Jingmai (Meridians) have pulsating arteries, but only the Cunkou (Inch Position) pulse is taken to decide the life, death, auspiciousness, and inauspiciousness of the Zang and Fu organs. The Cunkou is the great meeting point of the pulses and is the pulsating artery of the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. In one exhalation, the pulse moves three cun; in one inhalation, it moves three cun. At the completion of a breath cycle, the pulse moves six cun. A person breathes 13,500 times in a day and night. The pulse circulates fifty cycles around the body, corresponding to 100 ke (water clock units). Ying Qi (Nutritive Energy) and Wei Qi (Defensive Energy) each circulate twenty-five cycles through Yin and Yang respectively to complete one major cycle. Thus, after fifty cycles, they reconvene at the Hand-Taiyin. Taiyin refers to the Cunkou, which marks the beginning and end of the Zang and Fu organs. (From *Qianjin Fang*)
Sun Shangyao said: When diagnosing the pulse, first observe whether the person's height and weight, fat or thin build, are consistent with their Qi condition. If the body form and Qi are harmonious, there is no disease; if disharmonious, there is disease; if depleted, it is critical; if reversed, it is fatal. If the body form and Qi are already reversed, and the pulse shows extreme suspension (Xuanjue), both form and Qi are diseased, and death will occur immediately. For example, a tall person has a long pulse, a short person has a short pulse, a fat person has a thick/full pulse, and a thin person has a rapid/tight pulse; this indicates harmony between form and Qi. However, humans are born of the Five Elements but are often attacked by the Eight Evils (Pathogenic Factors). If illness arises from secondary pathogenic factors rather than primary sequence errors, it is easier to treat; this is called "form and Qi are harmonious." If form and Qi are disharmonious and reversed (e.g., a tall person with a short pulse), treatment will likely fail. This reflects the individual's physiological climate: those without disease will soon fall ill, those with disease are in danger, and those in danger will die. One must be cautious, practice moderation, harmonize Qi, nourish Shen (Spirit), avoid indulgence and negligence, and prevent the depletion of Tianzhen (innate vitality). Deep reflection is required.
