The Bin Hu Mai Xue, from which this translation is derived, was first written in 1518 and has remained an essential component of Chinese medical and acupuncture education for more than 500 years. This translation examines each of the fundamental pulse qualities and their combinations, explaining the essential principles of pulse diagnosis, including depth, position, correspondence to areas of the body, seasonal variation, and organ relationships. The four principal pulses are described in detail, along with their variations and clinical significance. The diagnostic meaning of each pulse and its variations is presented within the framework of traditional Chinese medicine.
