脉来洪盛去还衰，满指滔滔应夏时。
—— 濒湖脉学 · 洪脉 · 体状诗
Arriving surging and abundant, departing in decline, it fills the fingers like a rising tide—matched to the season of summer.
脉体宽大，来盛去衰，如波涛汹涌，来时力盛，去时力衰。
Broad and large in body, vigorous on arrival and waning on departure, like surging waves—powerful as it rises, ebbing as it falls.
主里热亢盛，气分热盛尤为多见。若久病气虚、失血、泄泻见洪脉，则为阴液耗伤、虚阳外越之危候。
Indicates flourishing interior heat, particularly heat in the qi level. Yet in chronic illness with qi deficiency, blood loss, or diarrhoea, a surging pulse signals consumed yin fluids and deserting yang—a critical sign.
