The most important one is the principles of diagnosis, which is also important in Renying-Cunkoupulse diagnostic method. Almost all the links in acupuncture and moxibustion’s clinic are based on this pulse method. The ancients also recognize the disadvantages of Renying and Cunkou pulse, and make up it by combining with other diagnostic methods.The discussion about Renying and Cunkou pulse in neijing is mainly about the situation that the left Renying and Cunkou pulse is consistent with the right one. This means it did not mention the inconsistent situation, this greatly hinder Renying and Cunkou pulse’s use in clinic. Because of lacking clinical use and observation, the real meaning of compared gap between Renying pulse and Cunkoupulse, "a Sheng", and "ⅡSheng", and "three sheng" become unknown for thousand years. Because of these two reasons, it becomes so difficult for people to understand and practiceRenying and Cunkou pulsediagnostic method.
