Original text
经言脉有逆顺，男女有常，而反者，何谓也?
然。男子生于寅，寅为木，阳也。女子生于申，申为金，阴也。故男脉在关上，女脉在关下，是以男子尺脉恒弱，女子尺脉恒盛，是其常也。反者，男得女脉，女得男脉也。 其为病何如?
然。男得女脉为不足，病在内，左得之病则在左，右得之病则在右，随脉言之也。女得男脉为太过，病在四肢，左得之病在左，右得之病在右，随脉言之，此之谓也。
第二十难 经言脉有伏匿，伏匿于何藏，而言伏匿耶?
然。谓阴阳更相乘，更相伏也。脉居阴部，而反阳脉见者，为阳乘阴也，脉虽时沉涩而短，此谓阳中伏阴也。脉居阳部，而反阴脉见者，为阴乘阳也，脉虽时浮滑而长，此谓阴中伏阳也。重阳者狂，重阴者癫；脱阳者见鬼，脱阴者目盲。
第二十一难 经言人形病脉不病，曰生。脉病形不病，曰死。何谓也?
然。人形病脉不病，非有不病者也，谓息数不应脉数也，此大法。
第二十二难 经言脉有是动，有所生病，一脉辄变为二病者，何也?
然。经言是动者，气也；所生病者，血也。邪在气，气为是动；邪在血，血为所生病。气主呴之，血主濡之。气留而不行者，为气先病也，血壅而不濡者，为血后病也。故先为是动，后所生病也。
