济生拔萃说:所谓八里脉,是指右手三部(寸、关、尺)受到邪气侵袭的脉象。这是阳乘阴的现象。其脉象表现为微、沉、缓、涩、迟、伏、濡、弱。
如果患者有恶寒症状,这是病在里的表层,应当用麻黄附子细辛汤缓慢发汗。这就是通过浸渍形体来取汗的方法。如果患者不恶风寒,反而出现沉细、疾数脉象,这是足少阴经反受火邪侵袭。这是病在里的深层,属于阴中之阴,但由阳邪引起。这种客邪应当急用大承气汤攻下清除。如果是张仲景所说的桂枝脉却出现麻黄证,或者麻黄脉却出现桂枝证,可以交替使用麻黄桂枝各半汤。如果桂枝证占两份,麻黄证占一份,应当采用桂枝二麻黄一汤的方法。或者麻黄证占两份,桂枝证占一份,应当采用麻黄二桂枝一汤的方法。或者是麻黄脉而桂枝证,以脉象为主;如果脉象占两份,证候占一份,用麻黄二桂枝一汤治疗。或者桂脉占两份,证候占一份。
如果是内外皆属阴,则用缓汗法。七表脉有汗的,是外阳内阴,用急汗法。八里有下证的,是内阳外阴,用急下法。所以《素问》设立标本转化的理论,建立四制的方法,就是为了解释这些情况。
云岐子说:八里脉,是指右手三部(寸、关、尺)受到的脉象。这八种里脉,是客邪之脉。主位之脉分为三部。微脉属阴,主败血不止,面色无光泽。微脉像秋冬季节的脉象,在阴分表现为凄惨。阴气太过,阳气不及,导致血液亏损。方用香附子(一两半)、白芍药、当归(各一两)、川芎(半两)。以上药物捣成粗末,用水煎煮一两药量,饭前服用。
指下感觉若有若无,如漩涡中凝结的败血,小肠虚弱。崩漏日久变成白带,疼痛日久骨髓枯竭。这是肾气有余,命门不足,应当补命门。命门,男子藏精,女子系胞。崩中和白带,是命门衰败所致。骨骼已经枯槁,用伏龙肝散主治。这是因为血不能守,水胜火也。治疗妇人失血精亡,养血补虚,宜用当归芍药汤。

Jisheng Bacui states: The so-called "Eight Li Pulses" (Eight Interior Pulses) refer to the pulse conditions of the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) on the right hand that have been affected by pathogenic factors. This is a phenomenon where Yang overcomes Yin. The pulse qualities manifest as Micro (Wei), Deep (Chen), Slow/Relaxed (Huan), Choppy (Se), Delayed (Chi), Hidden (Fu), Soft/Soggy (Ru), and Weak (Ruo).
If the patient experiences aversion to cold, this indicates the exterior aspect of the interior disease. One should administer Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Tang (Ephedra, Prepared Aconite Root, and Asarum Decoction) to induce sweating gradually. This is a method of inducing sweat by soaking the body form. If the patient does not experience aversion to wind or cold, but instead presents with a deep, fine, rapid, and frequent pulse, this indicates that the Foot Shaoyin Meridian has been counter-affected by Fire Pathogen. This is a disease in the deepest aspect of the interior, belonging to Yin within Yin, yet caused by a Yang pathogen. This exogenous pathogen should be urgently purged using Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
Regarding Zhang Zhongjing's teachings: If a Guizhi Pulse (associated with Wind Strike syndrome) presents with Mahall Zheng (Mahuang Syndrome symptoms), or if a Mahuang Pulse presents with Guizhi Zheng (Guizhi Syndrome symptoms), one may alternately use Mahuang Guizhi Banxia Tang (Half-and-Half Ephedra and Cinnamon Twig Decoction). If the Guizhi Syndrome accounts for two parts and the Mahuang Syndrome accounts for one part, the method of Guizhi Er Mahuang Yi Tang (Two Parts Cinnamon Twig, One Part Ephedra Decoction) should be employed. Conversely, if the Mahuang Syndrome accounts for two parts and the Guizhi Syndrome accounts for one part, the method of Mahuang Er Guizhi Yi Tang (Two Parts Ephedra, One Part Cinnamon Twig Decoction) should be used. Or, if it is a Mahuang Pulse with Guizhi Syndrome, prioritizing the pulse: if the pulse condition accounts for two parts and the symptomatic condition for one part, treat with Mahuang Er Guizhi Yi Tang. Or if the Gui Pulse accounts for two parts and the symptomatic condition for one part... [Text fragment]
If both interior and exterior are Yin, use gentle sweating. For Seven Biao Pulses (Seven Exterior Pulses) with sweating, this is Exterior Yang and Interior Yin, requiring urgent sweating. For Eight Li with downward indications, this is Interior Yang and Exterior Yin, requiring urgent purgation. Therefore, the *Suwen* established the theory of Biao-Biao transformation and the method of Si Zhi (Four Regulations) to explain these situations.
Yunqizi states: The Eight Li Pulses refer to the pulses received in the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) of the right hand. These eight interior pulses are pulses of exogenous pathogens. The main position pulses are divided into three sections. A Micro (Wei) pulse belongs to Yin, indicating unceasing failure of blood, lusterless complexion. The Micro pulse resembles the pulse of autumn and winter; in the Yin aspect, it appears desolate. Excess Yin and insufficient Yang lead to blood deficiency. Formula: Xiangfu Zi (Cyperi Rhizoma, 1.5 liang), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 liang each), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 liang each), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 0.5 liang). Grind these into coarse powder. Decoct 1 liang of herbs in water. Take before meals.
[Symptom description]: Under the fingers, it feels as if present yet absent, like stagnant failed blood in a vortex, with small intestine deficiency. Long-term metrorrhagia turns into leukorrhea; long-term pain causes bone marrow depletion. This is excess Kidney Qi and insufficiency of Mingmen (Gate of Life). One should tonify Mingmen. Mingmen stores essence in men and connects to the uterus in women. Metrorrhagia and leukorrhea indicate Mingmen failure. Bones are depleted; treat with Fulonggan San (Dragon's House Dust Powder). This is because blood cannot hold, and Water overcomes Fire. To treat women with loss of blood and essence, nourish blood and tonify deficiency with Danggui Shaoyao Tang (Angelica and Peony Decoction).
Herbs: Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) (1 liang each), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 0.5 liang). Cut these herbs. Decoct 1 liang in water. Take before meals.
Micro pulse at Guan indicates Qi invading upwards. Yang deficiency, internal Qi rushing up; cold generates Qi. Main pulse is Choppy, guest pulse is Micro. Choppy and Micro combined indicate rebellious Qi invading upwards.
Herbs: Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, 1.5 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 qian), Shunianzi (Araliae Fructus, 2.5 qian), Madangling (Aristolochiae Radix, 0.5 liang, stir-fried), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 10 pieces, skin and tip removed)... [Text fragment]
At Guan, Qi stagnation presses on the heart. Main pulse is Slow/Relaxed (Huan), guest pulse is Micro. Huan and Micro combined indicate Taiyin deficiency bloating. Treat with Yunqi San (Uniform Qi Powder); Bufei San (Tonify Lung Powder) is also acceptable.
At Chi, Micro pulse indicates accumulation below the navel, cold body, groaning after drinking water. Main pulse is Rapid (Shu), guest pulse is Micro. Shu and Micro combined indicate Yin excess and Yang deficiency. Treat with Erqi... [Text fragment]. Deep (Chen) pulse belongs to Yin, indicating Qi distension in both hypochondria, cold hands and feet, rebellious Qi hitting the heart, stifling without pain, called Xu Pi (Deficiency Bloatedness). Treat with Jianwei Jianzhong Tang (Strengthen Stomach and Establish Middle Decoction).
