身软阳痿头四破,脐小脐高肉不收。
发稀色脆短声啼,遍体青筋俱不寿。
尸踵膑骨若不成,能倨能行能立死。
脐深色老性尊持,方是人家长命子。
小儿病证或有畏,若太冲有脉,神气未脱,囟门未陷,看颜色三关未至黯点者,犹可着力。
虽然,五脏六腑之精气上注于目,望而知之,当先以目中神气之全为验。若目中神气有者,
必不死。目无神者必死。
心窍通于舌∶心为脏,小肠为腑。心色赤,主夏三月。心味苦,心液汗,心主血,心

暴喜伤阳。孙真人云∶伤阴则泻,伤阳则惊。通真子云∶喜后饮水,伤于三焦,多成喘急。
The body is flaccid, the genitals are atrophied, and the four sutures of the skull are split; the umbilicus is small or protruding, and the flesh does not retract.

If the calcaneus (heel bone) and patella (kneecap) bones fail to develop properly, even if the child can squat, walk, or stand, death will occur quickly.
A dark-colored and mature-looking umbilicus indicates a child who will enjoy longevity.
When infants suffer from diseases that cause concern, if there is still a pulse at Taichong (LR3), the Shen Qi (Spiritual Energy) has not dissipated, the fontanelle has not sunken, and the colors of the Three Passes (Wind, Qi, Life) have not turned dark, treatment efforts may still be effective.
However, the essence of the Zang and Fu organs flows upward into the eyes, allowing diagnosis through observation (Wang Zhen). One should first verify based on the integrity of the Shen Qi in the eyes. If the eyes possess Shen Qi, death is unlikely. If the eyes lack Shen Qi, death is certain.
