Commentary states: The fetus resides within the uterine sac (Baogong), responding to what the mother hears. Once the fetal qi is perceived, caution and care are immediately required. If the pregnancy reaches full term, or if induction of labor is desired, at which time the fetal form is complete and spirit is established, a sudden fright to the mother may result in "Frightened Fetus" (Jing Tai), causing the fetus to shift position irregularly. It should be treated promptly; otherwise, the essence and qi will congregate in the child, leading to epilepsy (Dian) in the offspring.
