此六气分合六部时日诊候之图，乃余所自悟而自制，实六气至理，
而古今所未发者。以平治之纪为例，若太过之纪，其气未至而至，从节
前十三日为度；不及之纪，其气至而未至，从节后十三日为度。太过之
岁，从左尺浮分起立春；不及之岁，从左关中分起立春。根据次而推之，必
于平旦，阴气未散，阳气未动，饮食未进，衣服未着，言语未吐之时，清心
调息，逐部细究，则时令之病，可以前知。诊得六部俱平则已，若有独
大、独小、独浮、独沉、独长、独短，与各部不同，根据图断之，无不验者。假
如左关中候脉独弦大，已知雨水后、惊蛰边有风热之病。盖弦主风，而
大主热也；且左关又为风木之令故也。如右尺沉候，脉独缓滞而实大，
已知芒种后、夏至边有湿热之病。盖缓滞主湿，而实大主热也。若缓滞
而虚大，乃湿热相火为患。盖缓滞为湿，而虚大为相火也；且在沉分，
沉亦主湿，又在相火之位故也。久病之人，六脉俱见独滞，惟右寸中候
脉来从容和缓，清净无滞，已知霜降后、立冬边必愈。盖中候而从容和
缓，为胃气之佳脉；且右寸为肺金之位，土来生金故也。其余各部，俱仿
此而细推之，百不失一也。然亦须三四候之确然不渝，无不验者，下文重言以申明之。

六气分合六部时日诊候之图二\pt105a2.bmp\r
这张“六气分合六部时日诊候之图”，是我自己领悟并制作的，确实揭示了六气（风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火）运行的深层道理，是古今未曾阐发的内容。以平治之纪（气候正常的年份）为例，如果是太过之纪（气候偏盛），其气未到而先至，以节气前十三天为限度；如果是不及之纪（气候偏弱），其气已到而未显，以节气后十三天为限度。在太过之年，脉象变化从左尺浮分（左手尺部浅层）开始对应立春；在不及之年，脉象变化从左关中分（左手关部中层）开始对应立春。根据此规律依次推演，必须在清晨，阴气尚未消散，阳气尚未发动，饮食尚未摄入，衣服尚未穿戴，言语尚未出口之时，清心调息，逐部仔细探究，那么时令引起的疾病，就可以预先知晓。诊察发现六部脉象都平和就算了，如果有某一部脉独大、独小、独浮、独沉、独长、独短，与其他各部不同，根据图表判断，没有不灵验的。假如左关部中候脉象独见弦大，已知雨水节气后、惊蛰节气前后会有风热之病。因为弦脉主风，而大脉主热；而且左关部又对应风木（肝）的时令。如右尺部沉候，脉象独见缓滞而实大，已知芒种节气后、夏至节气前后会有湿热之病。因为缓滞主湿，而实大主热。如果缓滞而虚大，乃是湿热与相火（少阳之火）为患。因为缓滞为湿，而虚大为相火；且在沉分（深层），沉脉也主湿，又在相火之位故也。久病之人，六部脉象都见到独滞，只有右寸部中候脉来从容和缓，清净无滞，已知霜降节气后、立冬节气前后必定痊愈。因为中候脉象从容和缓，是胃气（脾胃功能及生机）良好的脉象；而且右寸部对应肺金之位，土（脾）来生金（肺）的缘故。其余各部，都仿照这个原理细细推演，百无一失。然而也必须经过三四次诊察确认确然不变，没有不灵验的，下文重复说明以申述这一点。

The diagram of the Division and Combination of the Six Qi with Pulse Diagnosis of the Six Positions according to Time \pt105a2.bmp\r
This diagram regarding the division and combination of the Six Qi and pulse diagnosis of the six positions according to time was self-comprehended and created by me. It truly reveals the profound principles of the Six Qi, which have not been expounded in ancient or modern times. Taking a year of balanced climate (Pingzhi Zhi Ji) as an example: if it is a year of excess (Taiguo), where the qi arrives before its time, the limit is set at thirteen days before the solar term; if it is a year of deficiency (Bují), where the qi has arrived but is not yet manifest, the limit is set at thirteen days after the solar term. In a year of excess, the pulse changes begin from the floating position of the left Chi (Cun Kou) corresponding to Lichun (Start of Spring); in a year of deficiency, the pulse changes begin from the middle position of the left Guan corresponding to Lichun. By deducing sequentially according to this rule, one must perform the examination in the early morning, when yin qi has not yet dispersed, yang qi has not yet moved, food and drink have not been ingested, clothes have not been put on, and speech has not been uttered. With a clear mind and regulated breathing, investigating each position carefully, seasonal diseases can be predicted in advance. If the pulses in all six positions are balanced, the matter ends there. However, if any single position is exclusively large, small, floating, sunken, long, or short, differing from other positions, judgment based on the chart will invariably be accurate. For instance, if the middle-position pulse at the left Guan is exclusively wiry and large, it indicates that wind-heat pathogenic factors will cause disease around the Yushui (Rain Water) and Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects) solar terms. This is because the wiry pulse governs wind, and the large pulse governs heat; furthermore, the left Guan corresponds to the season of Wind-Wood (Liver). If the deep-position pulse at the right Chi is exclusively slow, stagnant, solid, and large, it indicates that damp-heat pathogenic factors will cause disease around the Mangzhong (Grain in Ear) and Xiazhi (Summer Solstice) solar terms. This is because slowness and stagnation govern dampness, while solidity and largeness govern heat. If the pulse is slow, stagnant, yet deficient and large, it signifies pathology caused by damp-heat and Ministerial Fire (Xianghuo). This is because slowness and stagnation indicate dampness, while deficiency and largeness indicate Ministerial Fire; moreover, being in the deep position, the sunken pulse also governs dampness, and this position corresponds to the realm of Ministerial Fire. In patients with chronic illness, if all six pulses show exclusivity in stagnation, but only the middle-position pulse at the right Cun is leisurely, harmonious, and smooth, without stagnation, it indicates recovery will surely occur around the Shuangjiang (Frost Descent) and Lidong (Start of Winter) solar terms. This is because a middle-position pulse that is leisurely and harmonious represents excellent Stomach Qi (Wei Qi); additionally, the right Cun corresponds to the position of Lung Metal, where Earth (Spleen) generates Metal (Lung). The remaining positions should be deduced carefully following this principle, resulting in no more than one error in a hundred. Nevertheless, confirmation through three or four examinations without change is required for accuracy, as reiterated below to clarify this point.
