    Tongue diagnosis is a unique diagnostic method in traditional Chinese medicine, which can determine the cold, heat, deficiency and reality of diseases through changes in tongue texture and tongue coating. The normal tongue is soft, flexible, white in color, thin on the tongue, and the size of the tongue is fat and tender, which can be simply summarized as "light red tongue and thin white moss". If there is an abnormality in the color of the tongue, such as pale white tongue or red tongue, it is abnormal, and the pale white tongue should be deficient in qi and blood, or yang deficiency.

    Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", "cutting" is the pulse, and "looking" is seeing, of which looking at the tongue is a very important content.

    The tongue image reflects the viscera.

    According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the tongue is directly or indirectly connected with many organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and kidney through the meridians, so the lesions of the viscera can be reflected from the changes in the tongue.

    Looking at the tongue, the main observation is the texture of the tongue and the coating of the tongue. The tongue of a normal person is "light red tongue and thin white moss", that is, the tongue is soft, moves freely, the color is light red, and the tongue surface is covered with thin, uniform particles, and moderate dryness and wetness.

    The quality of the tongue depends mainly on color.

    The quality of the tongue mainly depends on the color, which can reflect the changes in the viscera, qi and blood, and the void and reality. The color of the tongue is light red, moist, white and red, and moisturizing, indicating that the person is in good health. The pale white tongue is generally a loss of qi and blood or a deficiency of cold constitution, which is more common in people who are seriously ill, long-term or congenitally deficient.

    Red tongue is mostly a heat syndrome, and this tongue color is common when there is a fever. At the beginning of the disease, the red tongue indicates that the heat is on the surface, such as colds and measles; When the whole tongue is crimson, it means that the heat has entered the inside, and the condition is more serious. In ordinary people, those with a red tongue are too hot, and they are more likely to see symptoms such as upset and insomnia; Those with red tongue are full of liver and gallbladder, and they are more likely to be irritable and irritable; If the tongue is red, the stomach is too hot, and there are often manifestations such as heartburn and pantothenic acid; If the tongue is thin and small at the same time, it is mostly a manifestation of yin deficiency and internal heat, which is seen in patients with chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, tuberculosis and other patients.

    Blue tongue is also common, and the uniform blue color of the whole tongue is a cold syndrome, which is more common in severe chest and abdominal pain, such as biliary roundworms, angina, and intestinal obstruction. The purple color, or the local presence of blue-purple plaques or petechiae on the tongue, is more common in patients with fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, and tumors in modern people. People who are addicted to smoking and drinking alcohol are also common in purple tongue because of the fire poison that blocks the meridians.

    Tongue coating reflects digestion.

    The tongue coating can reflect the stomach fluid and digestion, and the main observation is the color, thickness, dryness, decay, peeling and other changes of the tongue coating. White moss is slippery and greasy, and yellow moss is hot. Normal people have a thin layer of white moss, and thick or little moss, peeling moss are all manifestations of disease.

    The tongue is mossy but partially peeled, indicating damage to the stomach qi or yin, and is also seen in vitamin deficiencies. If the tongue coating recedes suddenly, and the one that is as smooth as a mirror is the light peeling lichen, it is a critical phenomenon that the stomach yin and stomach qi are damaged. Moss dryness indicates that the body's fluid is injured, and some diabetics can see it.

    Slippery moss, on the other hand, indicates a buildup of fluids, which is common in kidney disease, and is often accompanied by edema, bloating, nausea, and dizziness. Moss greasy indicates that there is phlegm dampness, and the ancient books say that "strange diseases are mostly caused by phlegm", which needs to be paid attention to. If the lichen is loose, the particles are large, the tongue and the tongue are thick, such as tofu residue, it is called rotten moss, which is a manifestation of food accumulation in the stomach and intestines, which is commonly known as eating too much.

    It is important to emphasize that everyone's "normal tongue image" is different and therefore requires dynamic observation. For example, some people are normally red tongues, and it is not right to let them take the medicine to remove fire without analysis.

    Tongue examination, also known as tongue diagnosis, is one of the important contents of the consultation. The viscera are connected with the tongue through the meridians, and the essence of the viscera can be camped on the tongue, and the lesions of the viscera can also be reflected from the changes in the tongue. Therefore, looking at the tongue can diagnose visceral lesions.

    The parts of the tongue related to the viscera are divided as follows: the tip of the tongue can reflect cardiopulmonary lesions; The middle of the tongue reflects the lesions of the spleen and stomach; The base of the tongue reflects a lesion of the kidneys; The marginal part of the tongue reflects hepatobiliary lesions. The main purpose of looking at the tongue is to observe the changes in the texture and coating of the tongue.

    The normal tongue is soft, free-moving, and reddish in color. If there is an abnormality, it is pathological. Such as:

    Pale white tongue indicates a lack of qi and blood, and yang deficiency and blood deficiency syndrome are more common; The red tongue indicates heat, which is more common in the heat syndrome or yin deficiency and internal heat; The red tip of the tongue mostly indicates that the heart is hot; The tongue (dark red tongue) indicates evil heat, penetrates deep into the blood, and is more common in the extreme stage of febrile venereal disease; If it is a long-term sick patient, most of them are yin deficiency and fire; Some have tooth marks on the tongue, mostly due to spleen deficiency; There are petechiae or purple dark on the tongue, which mostly indicates blood stasis syndrome, such as many patients with cardiovascular diseases have purple spots and ecchymosis on the tongue, and the method of activating blood and removing blood stasis is commonly used.

    Tongue coating is a layer of lichen attached to the tongue, which is steamed from the stomach. The normal tongue coating is a thin white moss, moderately dry and wet, not slippery or dry. Sick moss is steamed by stomach qi and evil qi.

    Generally, white moss is common in the surface pattern and cold pattern; Yellow moss is mostly seen in the internal syndrome and the thermal syndrome; Gray moss is mostly seen in the heat syndrome, but also in the cold and damp pattern; Black moss is common in the severe stage of the disease, if the moss is black and dry and cracked, it is mostly hot and dry; The moss is black and lubricated, mostly yang deficiency and cold. The thickness of the moss can indicate the severity and retreat of the disease. Generally, the moss is thin for those who are mild, and the moss is thick for those who are seriously ill.

    The thinning and thickening of the moss indicates that the disease enters from the surface to the inside, and the disease changes from mild to severe; The moss changes from thick to thin, indicating that the evil qi has reached the outside from the inside, and the disease has changed from severe to mild. Of course, tongue diagnosis is important, but a correct diagnosis must be based on a thorough analysis of other symptoms and signs in the context of the medical history. Therefore, the first thing to do in TCM is to look at the tongue.
