论曰心与小肠合，故手少阴经与手太阳经为表里，其象火，其王夏，其脉洪。在脏为神
，在志为喜，在变动为忧，在液为汗，是故心气虚则悲不已。实则笑不休，心气虚则梦救
火阳物，得其时则梦燔灼，心气盛则梦喜笑恐畏，厥气客于心，则梦丘山烟火，心衰则健忘
，心热则多汗。不足则胸腹胁下与腰背引痛，惊悸恍惚，少颜色，舌本强。有余则骨痛胸中
支满，胁下及膺背肩胛两臂痛，不足则补，有余则泻，此治之大法也。
论曰心虚之状，气血衰少，面黄烦热，多恐悸不乐，心腹痛难以言，时出清涎，心膈胀
满，善忘多惊，梦寝不宁，精神恍惚，皆手少阴经虚寒所致。其脉见于左手寸口人迎以前阴
虚者，乃其候也。

It is said: The Heart and the Small Intestine are internally-externally related. Therefore, the Hand-Shaoyin Pericardium Meridian (Shou Shaoyin Jing) and the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian (Shou Taiyang Jing) form a table-lining relationship. Its nature corresponds to Fire, it prospers in Summer, and its pulse is洪 (Hong, surging). In the Zang organs, it houses the Shen (Spirit); in emotions, it corresponds to Joy; in pathological changes, it manifests as Sorrow; in fluids, it produces Sweat. Thus, when Heart Qi is deficient, there is endless grief. When excess, there is unceasing laughter. With Heart Qi deficiency, one dreams of fighting fires or seeing phallic objects; if occurring in its proper season (Summer), one dreams of burning and scorching. With Heart Qi excess, one dreams of joy, laughter, fear, and terror. If Jue Qi (rebellious Qi) lodges in the Heart, one dreams of hills, mountains, smoke, and fire. When Heart function declines, there is forgetfulness. When the Heart is hot, there is excessive sweating. Deficiency leads to pulling pain in the chest, abdomen, hypochondrium, and lower back; palpitations, trance-like states, lackluster complexion, and a stiff tongue root. Excess leads to bone pain, fullness and distension in the chest, pain in the hypochondrium, anterior chest, back, shoulder blades, and both arms. Deficiency is treated with tonification; excess is treated with purgation. This is the general principle of treatment.
It is said: The manifestations of Heart deficiency include depletion of Qi and Blood, yellowish complexion with vexatious heat, frequent fear and palpitations with unhappiness, heart and abdominal pain that is hard to describe, occasional discharge of clear saliva, distension and fullness in the Heart and Diaphragm region, forgetfulness, frequent fright, restless sleep, and spiritual trance.
