Features: The Pulse Classic (Mai Jing) is a comprehensive 10-volume work on pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the earliest extant monograph on the subject. It synthesizes the pulse knowledge of the pre-Han Dynasty, drawing upon texts such as The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Nei Jing), The Classic of Difficulties (Nan Jing), and discussions by figures like Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo. Building upon the elucidation of pulse theory, it connects theoretical principles with clinical practice. The work systematically covers the Three Sections and Nine Stations, the Cun Kou pulse, the Twenty-Four Pulses, pulse methods, Sha-Hàn (epidemic cold damage) diseases, heat-related illnesses, miscellaneous diseases, and the pulse diagnosis and treatment of gynecological and pediatric conditions. As one of the Four Great Classical Texts of TCM, The Pulse Classic is an essential read for anyone studying TCM.
