Pulse taking is the heart of palpation in Chinese diagnosis. From Wang Shuhe's Mai Jing onward the literature describes roughly twenty-eight classical pulses. This atlas organizes the most commonly used ones into the six-category framework — superficial, deep, slow, rapid, deficient, and excess — and for each pulse records the classical source text, a modern clarification, its clinical indications, and differential notes.
两头缩缩名为短，涩短迟迟细且难。
革脉形如按鼓皮，芤弦相合脉寒虚。
芤形浮大软如葱，边实须知内已空。
濡形浮细按须轻，水面浮绵力不禁。
弱来无力按之柔，柔细而沉不见浮。
散似杨花散漫飞，去来无定至难齐。
细迟短涩往来难，散止依稀应指间。
微脉轻微潎潎乎，按之欲绝有如无。
细来累累细如丝，应指沉沉无绝期。
举之迟大按之松，脉状无涯类谷空。
