%X This article was aimed to discuss the different tongue characteristics between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution of gentleness with three biased constitution (phlegm-dampness type, dampness-heat type, and yin -deficiency type). A total of 1687 health inspection people were selected as the object. The standardized Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire was used in the evaluation of scores of all kinds of constitutional types. Then, the digital tongue map was taken in the comparative analysis of tongue characteristics among the constitution of gentleness type, phlegm-dampness type, dampness-heat type, and yin-deficiency type by Chinese medicine practitioners. The results showed that in the gentleness group, the occurrence rate of having a normal tongue characteristic with pink in color, normal tongue-shaped and thin white coating is less than 50%. Compared with the gentleness group, the incidence of phlegm-dampness constitution of dark red color, thick and greasy yellow fur tongue increased. And the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of dampness-heat constitution of red, thick and greasy fur tongue increased. And the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of yin-deficiency group of red, thin, little coating tongue increased. And the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). It was concluded that even the incidence of abnormal tongue diagnosis in biased constitution was higher. Each biased constitution had its own tongue characteristics. The combining tongue diagnosis with the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire to find out tongue characteristics regularity of each constitution is still an important issue.
