额红火热燥,青色有惊风。
青若印堂见,人惊火则红。
忽然生黑气,客忤祟为冲。
青在山根露,遭惊必两重。
若远斯处赤,泻燥定相攻。
大病唇红不可医,看来眼慢不相宜。
睛青颊赤并干黑,发直鸦声转泪啼。
手足无纹指头白,鼻干燥热口角垂。
昏沉口禁不开眼,便是神仙难治之。
五脏精明面上窥,假如肝病面青时。
三春白气如形见,此病须亡余仿之。
目如赤白并青黑,面若黄时病易瘳。
目黑与青并赤白,面无黄色救无由。

The forehead is red, hot, and dry, indicating Fire-Heat pathogen; the appearance of Green color suggests Wind-stroke due to fright (Jing Feng).
If the Green color appears at the Yintang (Yintang, EX-HN3) area, it indicates that the person has been frightened and internal Fire causes redness.
Suddenly appearing Black Qi signifies an attack by Ke Wu (external evil invasion) or spiritual disturbance.
Green color exposed at the Shangen (Shangen, BL-2 region) indicates a double severity of fright.
If Redness appears far from this area, it represents the mutual attacking of purgative Dryness and Heat.
When a patient with a severe disease has red lips, they are incurable; their slow eye movement is inauspicious.
Eyes appearing Green, cheeks Red, combined with dry Blackness, straight hair, crow-like sounds, and tearful crying indicate a critical state.
Hands and feet lacking texture lines, white fingertips, dry and hot nose, drooping mouth corners suggest a dire prognosis.
Coma, locked jaw, and eyes unable to open constitute a condition even immortals would find difficult to treat.
The essence and spirit of the Five Zang organs can be observed on the face. For instance, when Liver disease manifests with a Green complexion.
In the three spring months, if White Qi appears like a shape, this illness will lead to death; other seasons follow similar logic.
If the eyes show Red, White, Green, and Black colors, but the face is Yellow, the disease is likely to heal.
If the eyes are Black, Green, mixed with Red and White, and the face lacks Yellow color, there is no way to save them.
Green color indicates accumulated Fright not dispersing, predisposing to Wind syndromes. Red and Crimson colors indicate Heat or Phlegm accumulation stagnating severely, aggravating palpitations and irritability. Yellow color also indicates Heat or Food Stagnation, as well as masses (Jia Pi Pi), and infantile malnutrition (Gan Ji). If mental consciousness is dull, symptoms include tidal fever, coarse breathing, fatigue, vomiting, or diarrhea. White color indicates Cold, Lung Qi obstruction, and Large Intestine sliding discharge predisposing to vomiting and dysentery. Black color indicates pain; if transmitted without complicated changes, it is a counter-indication (Ni Hou). Disordered Ying and Wei (Defensive and Nutritive Qi) manifest as Phlegm or ominous signs. Normal lips are often red and healthy; dryness indicates Spleen Heat, while whiteness indicates Deficiency. Blackness at the Renzhong (Renzhong, GV-26) indicates abdominal pain with moving parasites; dotted black spots indicate vomiting and dysentery. Purple at Shangen indicates milk/food injury and fright; Green indicates crying out; Black indicates danger. Green at Yintang indicates fright; Red indicates fright-heat; White indicates health. Forehead Green indicates fright; Red indicates heat. Red eyebrows indicate night crying and restlessness-heat. Black eyes and yellow sclera indicate Shang Han (Cold Damage). Yellow sclera indicates Dampness accumulation; Red indicates Heart Heat; Pale Red indicates Heart Deficient Heat; Green indicates Liver Heat. Red Taiyang (Taiyang, GB-9 region) indicates Blood Lin (dysuria); Green indicates fright. Two green lines indicate second fright; Red indicates Shang Han; Right-side Green indicates fright; Red indicates fright; Green indicates ominous danger. Red Fengchi (Fengchi, GB-20) indicates heat and frequent crying; Yellow indicates vomiting and reversal. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states Green tendons indicate fright. Hot and red both cheeks indicate crying. Red and hot zygomatic bones indicate heat. Yellow near the upper nose and tip indicates vomiting and diarrhea; Red indicates heat; Red-Purple indicates Phlegm-Qi; Green indicates fright. Yellow Chengjiang (Chengjiang, CV-24) indicates vomiting; Green indicates fright. In critical conditions, lackluster eyes, unresponsive pupils, red membrane over eyeballs, and blood vessels penetrating the pupil are all signs of death.
