TCM Pulse & Tongue — Zhang Zhongjing Six-Meridian Decoder

· Last updated：2026-08-08

This tool is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice; consult a qualified professional for advice.

Project pulse (floating/deep/slow/rapid…) and tongue (pale/red/purple/coating) signs onto the Shanghan Lun six-meridian (六经辨证) templates with classical formula correspondence

Details

What this tool helps you do

For TCM practitioners, students, and Shanghan Lun self-learners. Enter pulse and tongue signs (and optional symptoms); a weighted rule engine projects them onto the six meridian patterns (Taiyang/Yangming/Shaoyang/Taiyin/Shaoyin/Jueyin), showing per-pattern affinity, the principal formula and sub-pattern refinements (Guizhi Tang, Mahuang Tang, Baihu Tang, Chengqi Tang, Xiao Chaihu Tang, Lizhong Tang, Sini Tang, Huanglian Ejiao Tang, Wumei Wan…), with classical-clause sources. Based on the Shanghan Lun six-meridian framework. ⚠ Classical-text education tool, NOT a medical device; must not replace a licensed TCM practitioner; pulse/tongue are subjective; formulas are historical correspondence only.

Overview

This classical-text education tool projects selected pulse, tongue, and optional symptom signs onto the Shanghan Lun six-meridian patterns using weighted rules. It shows pattern affinity, historical formula correspondence, sub-pattern refinements, and classical-clause sources for study.

When to use

  • When studying Zhang Zhongjing’s Shanghan Lun six-meridian framework.
  • When comparing pulse and tongue signs with classical Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin templates.
  • When reviewing how optional symptom descriptions may affect a classical pattern projection.

How it works

  1. 1Select one or more pulse qualities, such as floating, deep, slow, rapid, string-taut, tight, fine, or faint.
  2. 2Choose a tongue body description and one or more coating characteristics.
  3. 3Optionally enter accompanying symptoms as comma-separated text.
  4. 4Review the HTML result with per-pattern affinity, historical formula correspondence, refinements, and classical-clause sources.

Use cases

  • TCM students reviewing six-meridian pattern relationships and classical formula correspondences.
  • Practitioners comparing described signs with Shanghan Lun teaching templates during text-based study.
  • Self-learners exploring how combinations such as floating-tight pulse, thin-white coating, and aversion to cold map to classical patterns.

Examples

1. Taiyang exterior-cold projection

Shanghan Lun student

Background

A student is reviewing a classical presentation involving exterior cold signs and wants to compare the findings with the Taiyang templates.

Problem

Relate a floating-tight pulse, thin-white tongue description, and no-sweat symptoms to a classical six-meridian pattern.

How to use

Select floating and tight for Pulse quality, choose thin white for Tongue body and coating, then enter "aversion to cold, no sweat, body ache, fever" in Accompanying symptoms.

Outcome

The result projects strongly onto Taiyang cold-damage and shows Mahuang Tang as the historical formula correspondence.

2. Shaoyang pivot pattern

TCM learner

Background

A learner is studying the alternating exterior-interior presentation associated with the Shaoyang pivot pattern.

Problem

Compare a string-taut pulse, yellow coating, and alternating chills and fever with the six-meridian templates.

How to use

Select string-taut for Pulse quality, choose yellow for Tongue coating, and enter "alternating chills and fever, bitter mouth, no appetite" as the symptoms.

FAQ

What does this tool analyze?

It analyzes selected pulse qualities, tongue signs, and optional symptoms within the Shanghan Lun six-meridian framework.

Which patterns are included?

The tool includes Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin patterns.

Can I enter more than one pulse or coating sign?

Yes. Pulse qualities and tongue coatings support multiple selections.

Does the tool provide a medical diagnosis?

No. It is a classical-text education tool, not a medical device or substitute for a licensed practitioner.

Are the formulas treatment recommendations?

No. Formula names are historical correspondences for study and should not be self-administered.

Find the best bedtime or wake time based on the brains 90-minute sleep-cycle rhythm. Enter a target wake time and get recommended bedtimes, or enter a bedtime to project forward.

Outcome

The result projects onto Shaoyang and shows Xiao Chaihu Tang as the historical formula correspondence.

3. Compare signs across six-meridian templates

TCM practitioner or instructor

Background

An instructor wants a structured way to discuss how different pulse and tongue descriptions relate to the six classical meridians.

Problem

Review pattern affinity from selected signs without treating the output as a clinical diagnosis.

How to use

Enter the available pulse and tongue observations, add optional symptoms, and review the generated HTML projection with its classical sources.

Outcome

The tool presents per-pattern affinity and related historical formula correspondences for classroom or text-study discussion.
