《巢氏病源》小儿夜啼候∶小儿夜啼者,脏冷故也。夜阴气盛,与冷相搏则冷动。冷动与脏气相并,或烦或
痛,故令小儿夜啼也。然亦有犯触禁忌,亦令儿夜啼,则可法术断之也。
《茅先生方》∶小儿生下三腊以前,有中夜啼,其候属阴。遇起灯前后发啼,至天明不住,如见此候用抹唇
膏(方见本门中。)遇夜抹上下两唇,更用朱砂膏(方见惊积门中。)夜更无,啼止。
汉东王先生《家宝》小儿夜啼候∶(诸书皆以惊啼为热,夜啼为寒。独汉东王先生以夜啼为热,必以诸啼通言之也。)
孩儿夜啼者,非
是鬼神为祟,盖因胎热伏心。(其母怀妊时或值热月,或好吃热食,流入胞中,
养后入于心脏,故使热入心而夜啼。)阴则与阳相刑,热则
与阳相合。腹中躁闷,所以夜啼。(日属阳,夜属阴。日中不哭,夜便多啼。)
《水鉴》先生论云∶天苍苍,(天者上也。人以心为帝王,一身之主,故呼为于苍苍者,被
外风所伤,故云∶苍苍生其别物。地王王,地者土也。
脾属中央戊己土,故云地也。王王者是盛也,王音旺也。此是脾脏热盛。)小儿夜啼疏客堂。(心
是神之舍,亦呼为客堂。疏者即是转泻。)
钱乙论夜啼云∶脾脏冷而痛也,当与温中之药及以法禳之,花火膏主之(方见本门中。)
《婴童宝鉴》论小儿夜啼,为腹有痛处并有神祟,故阴盛于夜而发也。或惊亦夜啼。
《惠眼观证》∶凡小儿生下一七至一百二十日,或至三、五岁才遇阴气,即便啼叫。大种夜啼,自有三说。
一∶心热者夜啼,只用朱砂膏及天竺黄散服之(方并见重舌门中,)兼以灯花涂乳上与吃。三、五岁者,宜以 汤丸疗之
(方见急慢惊风门中。)二∶脐下痛者夜啼,乃气血所滞,因而躁闷,以乌梅散(方见一切
疳门中)及槐角丸服之。候有见灯愈啼
者,乃心气热极。见灯不啼者,乃脐下痛,聊有所适,亦外作验也。三∶无故而啼,夜中面目青色不识人,此
邪气所畜,宜以符法及惊药相兼服食。有形证实者,以 汤丸通利。
《婴童宝鉴》小儿夜啼惊啼歌∶
小儿生下有三啼,一一从头为说之。邪热在心心内躁,忽然惊哭没休时。或因脏冷阴寒搏,或者神祗鬼
物随。夜里不眠啼至晓,夜啼根本各须知。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) regarding infant night crying: Infant night crying is caused by coldness in the viscera. Nighttime is when Yin Qi (Yin energy) is abundant, which clashes with coldness, causing cold to stir. This stirring of cold combines with the Qi of the viscera, causing either irritability or pain, thus leading to night crying. However, some cases are due to violating taboos, which can be stopped using magical methods.
*Mao Xiansheng Fang* records: Infants within the first three lunar months after birth may experience midnight crying, a syndrome belonging to Yin. If crying starts around the time of lighting lamps and continues until dawn, apply Lip Smearing Paste (formula see this section). Apply to the upper and lower lips every night, and also use Cinnabar Paste (formula see Palpitation and Accumulation section). The crying will stop at night.
Han Dong Wang Sheng's *Jia Bao* on infant night crying: (Most texts consider startle crying as Heat and night crying as Cold. Only Han Dong Wang Sheng considers night crying as Heat, encompassing all types of crying.) A child's night crying is not caused by ghosts or spirits, but rather by fetal Heat latent in the Heart. (If the mother was exposed to hot weather during pregnancy or consumed hot-natured foods, the heat entered the uterus, and after birth, entered the Heart, causing Heat to enter the Heart and resulting in night crying.) Yin conflicts with Yang, while Heat harmonizes with Yang. Restlessness and stifling sensation in the abdomen cause night crying. (Day belongs to Yang, Night to Yin. If the child does not cry during the day, they cry more at night.)
Mr. *Shui Jian* states: "The sky is vast" (Sky refers to the upper part. Humans regard the Heart as the Emperor, the master of the body, hence called 'vast'. It is injured by external Wind, hence "Vast generates distinction." Earth is Wang Wang; Earth refers to Soil. Spleen belongs to Central Wu-Ji Earth, hence called Earth. 'Wang Wang' means prosperity; 'Wang' sounds like 'Wang' (prosperous). This indicates excessive Heat in the Spleen.) Infant night crying disperses the Guest Hall. (The Heart is the residence of the Spirit, also called the Guest Hall. 'Disperse' means to drain.)
Qian Yi discusses night crying: It is caused by Cold in the Spleen leading to pain. One should administer warming middle-jiao herbs and perform exorcism rituals. Huahuo Gao (Flower Fire Paste) is the primary treatment (formula see this section).
*Ying Tong Bao Jian* discusses infant night crying, attributing it to abdominal pain and spiritual interference, manifesting when Yin is strong at night. Startle can also cause night crying.
*Hui Yan Guan Zheng* records: For infants from seven days to one hundred and twenty days old, or up to three to five years old, encountering Yin Qi causes immediate crying. There are three theories for major night crying. First: Night crying due to Heart Heat is treated only with Cinnabar Paste and Tianshuhuang Powder (formulas see Double Tongue section), along with applying lamp wick ash to the nipple for the infant to suck. For children aged three to five, decoction pills are suitable (formula see Acute/Chronic Convulsion section). Second: Night crying due to pain below the umbilicus is caused by stagnation of Qi and Blood, leading to restlessness. Treat with Plum Powder (formula see All Types of Malnutrition section) and Huaijiao Wan. If crying worsens upon seeing light, it indicates extreme Heart Qi Heat. If crying stops upon seeing light, it indicates abdominal pain has slightly subsided, serving as an external verification. Third: Unprovoked crying with blueish face and inability to recognize people at night is due to accumulation of Evil Qi. Treat with talismanic methods combined with anti-startle medicines. For tangible excess syndromes, use decoctions/pills to promote unblocking.
*Ying Tong Bao Jian* Song of Infant Night Crying and Startle Crying:
Infants have three types of crying after birth, let us explain them from the beginning. Evil Heat in the Heart causes internal restlessness, sudden startle crying without end. Or it is due to Cold Viscera clashing with Yin Cold, or spirits and ghosts following. Crying through the night until dawn, one must understand the root causes of night crying.
