Summary

Pulse diagnosis techniques: Fuzhen and yangzhen
Title
Pulse diagnosis techniques: Fuzhen and yangzhen
Description

Woodcut illustration from an edition of 1554 (33rd year of the Jiajing reign period of the Ming dynasty). The images show the distinct techniques to be used for taking another person's pulse and taking one's own pulse. In taking someone else's pulse, the hand used to take the pulse is held palm downward so that the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are positioned on thecun(Inch),guan(Pass) andchi(Foot) pulse sectors of the wrist respectively. This is calledfuzhen('downturned diagnosis'). In taking one's own pulse, the same relationship between the fingers and the three pulse sectors is preserved by holding the hand palm upwards. This is calledyangzhen('upturned diagnosis').
