三部脉象均表现为实脉。久病之人出现此脉象,属于不治之症。
三部脉象均表现为虚脉。久病之人出现此脉象,属于不治之症。
脉象虚而涩滞,久病者亦会死亡。
脉象虚而滑利,也会死亡。
人有三种“虚”和三种“实”,指的是:脉象的虚实、病症的虚实、诊察(指按诊或综合判断)的虚实。
所谓脉象的虚实:脉来柔软无力者为虚;脉来紧急有力者为实。
内虚证候包括五种虚证(五虚)。
脉象有“损”和“至”的区别,这是什么意思呢?回答说:“至”脉是指脉搏跳动次数增多。一呼之间脉搏跳动两次为平脉(正常)。三至为离经(偏离常道)。四至为夺经(精气被剥夺)。五至为困(正气困顿)。六至……(原文此处中断,通常指七至八至为脱绝等,但依原文只译可见部分)……落……四者……损于心者调其荣卫(营气和卫气),损于脾者调其饮食,适应寒温。损于肝者舒缓其中焦郁结,损于肾者补益其精。这是治疗损脉的方法。
论述说:声音符合五音规律,面色符合五行规律。声色相符同,然后才能确定脏腑的荣枯状况。如果气血滋荣,其气色生动,如翠鸟羽毛般光泽。……见到黑黄色,这叫做真脏色显现。……风邪侵袭则鼻现黄色,肾受风邪则肌肉发黑。因风邪……脾热则鼻头发红,肾热则下巴发红。这是因为气色不同所致。鼻头青色代表腹中有水气。……所以审察病人,又都以真脏色的出现为准。……生机旺盛,是因为真气外荣的缘故。
大凡面色红润的人,希望像白绢包裹朱砂那样润泽,不希望像赭石那样暗红无光。面色白的人,希望像白玉那样的色泽,不希望像白垩土那样干枯。面色青的人,希望像……炭……(原文此处可能有缺漏或排版错误,结合后文推断应为翠绿之意)。大凡青色如翠鸟羽毛,黑色如乌鸦羽毛,红色如鸡冠,黄色如蟹腹,白色如猪油。具备这五色中润泽鲜明特征的,都是生机的征象。

The pulses in the three positions (Cun, Guan, Chi) are all Excess (Shi). If a patient with a chronic disease presents this pulse, it is untreatable.
The pulses in the three positions are all Deficiency (Xu). If a patient with a chronic disease presents this pulse, it is untreatable.
If the pulse is Deficient and Choppy (Se), the patient with a chronic disease will also die.
If the pulse is Deficient and Slippery (Hua), death will also occur.
Humans have three types of "Deficiency" and three types of "Excess," referring to: the Excess/Deficiency of the Pulse (Mai), the Excess/Deficiency of the Disease (Bing), and the Excess/Deficiency of Diagnosis (Zhen).
Regarding the Excess/Deficiency of the Pulse: A pulse that feels soft and weak indicates Deficiency; a pulse that feels tight and urgent indicates Excess.
Internal Deficiency syndromes include the Five Deficiencies (Wu Xu).
What is meant by the distinction between "Sun" (Damage/Loss) and "Zhi" (Increase/Arrival) pulses? It is said: The "Zhi" pulse refers to an increased frequency of beats. Two beats per exhalation indicate a Normal (Ping) pulse. Three beats per exhalation indicate Li Jing (Departure from the Canon/Abnormal). Four beats per exhalation indicate Duo Jing (Deprivation of the Canon/Essence Depletion). Five beats per exhalation indicate Kun (Distress/Qi Exhaustion). Six beats... [Text fragment] ... Luo... Si Zhe... Damage to the Heart is treated by regulating Ying Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi). Damage to the Spleen is treated by regulating diet and adapting to cold and warmth. Damage to the Liver is treated by soothing the interior. Damage to the Kidney is treated by benefiting the Essence (Jing). These are the methods for treating Sun pulses.
It is stated: Sounds correspond to the Five Tones (Wu Yin), and complexions correspond to the Five Elements (Wu Xing). Only when sound and complexion accord with each other can one determine the flourishing or withering state of the Zang-Fu organs. If nourishment is abundant, the Qi is vibrant, resembling the luster of kingfisher feathers... Seeing black and yellow hues indicates the manifestation of True Zang Colors (Zhen Zang). Wind pathogen affecting the nose manifests as yellow; Kidney wind affecting muscles manifests as black. Due to wind... Spleen heat manifests as redness at the nose tip; Kidney heat manifests as redness at the chin. This is due to differences in Qi color. Nasal cyanosis indicates abdominal fluid accumulation... Therefore, examining patients relies on the appearance of True Zang colors... Vitality thrives because True Qi flourishes externally.
Generally, a ruddy complexion should resemble white silk wrapping cinnabar (lustrous and bright), not like jasper (dull and dark). A white complexion should resemble white jade, not like white chalk (dry and dull). A green/cyan complexion should resemble... charcoal... [Text fragment]. Generally, if the green resembles kingfisher feathers, black resembles crow feathers, red resembles rooster combs, yellow resembles crab bellies, and white resembles pork fat, possessing these five colors with lustrous and distinct characteristics indicates signs of life.

If both eyes of a patient show emerging yellow color, the illness should heal.
If the eyes, ears, and cheekbones of a patient are red, death occurs within five days.

If a patient's face suddenly takes on the color of a horse's liver—appearing green from afar and black up close—death ensues.
If a patient's mouth opens like a fish's and cannot close, with breath exiting but not returning, death ensues.
