研读《伤寒》解缓脉

An Interpretation of Even and Soft Pulse Based on the Study of Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases

缓脉本是中医临床常用、常见脉象 ,但叔和以来的脉学著作 ,对其概念却多颇含混 ,即使是当代的中医院校教材 ,也令学者多生疑问 ,莫衷其是。研读了《伤寒论》中有关缓脉的论述 ,发现“缓”字确有缓慢和松弛两种含义。缓脉脉象的描述以“脉势纵缓”或“脉管壁松弛”

Even and soft pulse is a common one that is frequently used, however works on it since the existence of WANG Shuhe's have been puzzling, even the modern textbooks used in Chinese Medicine universities or colleges. A careful study of the exposition of this pulse in the Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases led to the discovery that the Chinese character 'huan' embodies the meanings of 'slow' and 'flabby'. Therefore this pulse should be described as 'slow in strength' or 'flabby vascular wall'.
