The tongue is crimson. Red tongue, mostly submucosal vascular dilatation or hyperplasia, is related to human malnutrition and vitamin deficiency. Chinese medicine believes that when suffering from fever, red tongue indicates that heat evil enters the body; If the tongue is deep red and bright, it is pericardial disease; If the tongue is dark red and dry, it means that heat toxin has penetrated into the blood; If the crimson mouth shines, it means that the body fluid is insufficient and the condition is serious.
The tongue is purple. The tongue is crimson, bluish purple, or the whole tongue is even purple, which is mostly caused by congestion or hypoxia, and is common in some diseases such as congenital heart disease, liver disease and congestive heart failure.

Among them, damp heat is more common. In damp-heat syndrome, purple dryness of tongue is more common in respiratory and circulatory failure caused by fever.
The tongue is blue. Blue tongue means that the color of the tongue is as bloodless as the "blue veins" on the skin. The ancients described it as the tongue of a buffalo. Bluetongue disease is more common in liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, heart disease and other diseases that are easy to cause serious consequences. Chinese medicine believes that the blue tongue is caused by yin and cold, yang stagnation and blood stasis. At the same time, it should be noted that if the pregnant woman's tongue coating is blue, both mother and child may have certain abnormal conditions, which is a danger signal and needs to take timely measures and treat quickly.
