The first segment of the infant's index finger (left hand for males, right hand for females) is called the Wind Gate; the second segment is called the Qi Gate; and the third segment is called the Life Gate. If a red line appears only at the first segment, the condition is treatable; if it appears at the second segment, it is difficult to treat; if it appears at the third segment, it is untreatable. The absence of pulse manifestation at the Wind Gate indicates no disease; its presence indicates mild illness. Its manifestation at the Qi Gate indicates severe illness, while its manifestation at the Life Gate indicates a critical condition with a high mortality rate ("nine deaths, one life").
