Legend has it that in ancient times, because the court was different from men and women, the physician treated the queen and princess, and could not directly look, smell, ask and feel. He can only fix one end of the silk thread on the patient's pulse, and the doctor can diagnose and treat the disease through the pulse condition at the other end of the silk thread, commonly known as "suspension spring feels the pulse".
It's hard to tell the true from the false. The so-called truth, it did happen; The so-called fake, hanging silk is purely formal. It turns out that concubines are always introduced by personal eunuchs, and doctors often ask these questions in detail, such as appetite, tongue coating, defecation, symptoms, course of disease and so on.
In order to get real and detailed information, sometimes doctors often send some gifts to eunuchs. When all this is asked, Doctor Tai will keep it in mind. When it is time to feel the pulse, the doctor must also hold his breath and remain calm and serious.
To do so, first, observe court etiquette and show ministers' respect for the royal family; The second is to use this time to meditate on the prescription and prepare for treatment, so as to avoid getting into trouble because of careless words and improper medication.
The generation of extended data pulse is directly related to the fluctuation of heart, the rise and fall of heart qi, the patency of pulse channels and the profit and loss of qi and blood.
Therefore, the heart and pulse are the main organs that form pulse conditions. Qi and blood are the material basis of pulse formation. At the same time, blood circulates all over the body in the circulation channel. In addition to the leading role of the heart, there must be coordination of various organs:
The lung is facing the pulse, the lung qi is applied, and the blood can be dispersed; Spleen governs blood, which is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Only by nourishing and controlling spleen can blood run. Liver stores blood and regulates blood flow; Kidney storing essence can generate blood and transform qi, and kidney qi is the motive force of functional activities of various viscera. Therefore, it can reflect the comprehensive information of viscera, qi and blood, yin and yang of the whole body.
When the viscera and qi and blood are diseased, it will inevitably appear on the pulse condition, which will become an important basis for disease diagnosis.
