Faced with the crowd's doubtful gaze, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "If you haven't learned about pulse diagnosis, it might be somewhat troublesome to understand, but just listen.
In terms of clinical symptoms, the string-like pulse is neither an Yang pulse nor a Yin pulse.
As recorded in the "Benhu Pulse Study": "The string pulse is Yin within Yang." or "External Yang, internal Yin." The "Pulse Scripture" states: "The string pulse is Yin." The "Pulse Formulas" states: "The string pulse is Yang." And the "Medical Zen" states: "For Cold Pathogenic Disease with both Chi and Cun pulse being string, it is a Shaoyang disease. Shaoyang is the pivot, the junction of Yin and Yang. If the string pulse is combined with floating and thin, it is the original pulse of Shaoyang,... If the string pulse is combined with sinking, choppy, and weak, wouldn't it be called Yin?"
