The occurrence frequency of moderate pulse, string-like pulse, unsmooth pulse, slippery pulse in intermenstrual period respectively were 40.68％, 44.07％, 30.51％, and 40.68％. The occurrence frequency of moderate pulse, string-like pulse, unsmooth pulse, slippery pulse in-non intermenstrual period respectively were 17.38％, 24.69％, 10.45％, 56.30％.
