王叔和的《脉诀》，我对其中滑脉、实脉、弦脉、紧脉这四种脉象存有疑问。滑脉和弦脉已在前面略作论述，而实脉和紧脉尚未完全解释清楚。张仲景认为浮紧脉是伤寒，临床验证常常灵验。唯独对于实脉，有的认为是热证，有的认为是寒证。我认为实脉不应当用寒证来解释。暂且一并记录下来，以等待明智者来评判。

Regarding Wang Shuhe’s Mai Jue (Pulse Classic), I have doubts concerning the Slippery (Hua), Full/Shi, Wiry/Xian, and Tight/Jin pulses. The Slippery and Wiry pulses were briefly discussed earlier, but the Full and Tight pulses remain not fully elucidated. Zhang Zhongjing regarded Floating-Tight pulse as indicating Taiyang Cold Damage (Shang Han), which has been frequently verified in practice. However, regarding the Full pulse, some consider it Heat, while others consider it Cold. I believe the Full pulse should not be described in terms of Cold. I record this here for now, awaiting the judgment of wise scholars.
