Which of the following pulse is NOT felt only when lifting:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Hollow, overflowing (surging) and soggy pulses are superficial and therefore felt with a light touch (lifting); the firm pulse is a deep, forceful pulse felt only with stronger pressure (not only when lifting). Thus C is correct.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- In Traditional Chinese Medicine pulse diagnosis, "lifting" refers to using a light touch to assess superficial (floating) qualities; "pressing" or "pushing" refers to increasing pressure to assess deeper qualities.
- Superficial/float­ing pulses (felt with light touch) include hollow (empty in the centre), overflowing/surging (strong at superficial level), and soggy/soft pulses.
- Deep/firm pulses require heavier pressure to be felt and indicate interior or excess conditions.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Identify which pulses are superficial: hollow pulse (appears empty in centre, only perceptible with light touch), overflowing/surging pulse (strong at superficial level and felt with light touch), soggy/soft pulse (weak and only felt superficially).
- Identify which pulse is deep/firm: firm (also called confining/tense in some texts) is felt only with firm pressure and indicates an interior, excess, or cold condition.
- The question asks which pulse is NOT felt only when lifting (i.e., which is not superficial). The firm pulse is not superficial.

3) Calculations/intermediate steps
- No numerical calculations are required. The logical classification step is: classify each option as superficial or deep → determine which is not superficial.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- The firm pulse requires deeper palpation and is not a pulse that appears only with lifting/light touch. Therefore it does not meet the criterion "felt only when lifting."

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- A. Hollow pulse: superficial; typically felt with light touch only — so it IS felt only when lifting.
- B. Overflowing (surging) pulse: superficial at the surface and felt with light pressure — so it IS felt when lifting.
- D. Soggy pulse: soft and superficial, felt with light touch — so it IS felt only when lifting.

Conclusion: The firm pulse (C) is the one NOT felt only when lifting. This matches the provided answer: C. Firm pulse.
