陈抟曰∶上士异室，中士异床，下士异被，守此戒期者，非异室异床不可。谨按∶《礼记月令》∶
日夜分，雷乃发声。先雷三日，夺木铎以令兆民。曰雷将发声，有不戒其容止者，生子不备，必有凶灾。
可知禁忌，自古有之。日长至则曰止声色，毋或进。日短至则曰去声色，禁嗜欲。盖冬夏二至，阴阳
相争之时，最难保护。前后数日，皆宜绝欲。语云∶乐极生悲，纵欲成患。谨劝世人，须
为长久之欢，弗逞临时之乐。夫欲浓则暂，欲淡则长，其理不爽，其事不诬也。凡一切非
地非时者，能不严戒乎？笃信之士，贤德之妇，每逢禁忌，必谨遵之。不特身其康强，自
能多生好子矣。

Since ancient times, when a man marries, he expects to grow old together; when a child is born, he hopes for the child to grow up. Yet there are those with deep marital affection who die midway, or face difficult childbirth only for the child to perish prematurely. This is solely due to indulging in lust, secretly violating taboos, without realizing it. The Daoist scriptures state: Sexual intercourse requires strict avoidance of certain conditions. If these taboos are violated, Heaven will shorten one's lifespan, and deities will bring disaster, resulting in children with ugly or strange appearances, bad temperaments, physical disabilities, or premature death. There is clear evidence for this. Therefore, a gentleman not only strictly avoids external sexual temptations but also practices self-restraint within the bedroom, understanding the principles of managing sexual activity.

Chen Tuan said: Superior scholars sleep in different rooms, medium scholars in different beds, inferior scholars in different covers. Those observing these taboos must sleep in different rooms and beds. According to the *Book of Rites · Monthly Ordinances*: "When day and night are equal, thunder sounds. Three days before thunder, beat the wooden clapper to warn the people. 'Thunder is about to sound.' Those who do not guard their conduct will have imperfect children and surely face disaster." Thus, taboos have existed since ancient times. At the Summer Solstice (Day Lengthens), it says "Stop music and women, do not advance." At the Winter Solstice (Day Shortens), it says "Remove music and women, forbid desires." Generally, the Winter and Summer Solstices are times when Yin and Yang contend, making protection most difficult. Abstinence is advisable for several days before and after. As the saying goes: Extreme joy begets sorrow, indulgence breeds disaster. I earnestly advise the world: Seek long-lasting joy, not momentary pleasure. Intense desire is fleeting; mild desire is lasting. The principle holds true, the facts are not false. For all places and times that are improper, can one not strictly abstain? Devoted believers and virtuous wives, upon encountering taboos, must strictly observe them. Not only will they remain healthy and strong, but they will naturally produce many good children.
