《千金》论曰∶凡新生小儿一月内,常饮猪乳大佳。
《圣惠》法∶凡取猪乳,须令猪儿饮母,次便提猪儿后脚起离乳,急捋之即得,空捋无由得汁。
张涣∶婴儿初生盈月内,常时时旋取猪乳滴口中,最为佳矣。
《外台》∶崔氏凡藏儿衣法,儿衣先以清水洗之,勿令沙土草污。又以清酒洗之,仍内钱一文在衣中,盛于
新瓶内,以青绵裹其瓶口上,仍密盖头,且置便宜处,待满三日,然后根据月吉地向阳高燥之处,入地三尺埋之,
瓶上土浓一尺七寸,唯须牢筑,令儿长寿有智惠。若藏衣不谨,为猪狗所食者,令儿癫狂。虫蚁食者,令儿病
恶疮。犬鸟食之,令儿兵死。近社庙傍者,令儿见鬼。近深水 池,令儿溺死。近故灶傍,令儿惊惕。近井傍
者,令儿病聋盲。弃道路街巷者,令儿绝嗣无子。当门户者,令儿声不出,耳聋。着水流下者,令儿青盲。弃于
火里,令儿生烂疮。着林木头者,令儿自绞死。如此之忌,皆须一慎之。
《外台》∶崔氏又安产妇及藏衣天德月空法∶
正月天德在丁,月空在丙壬。二月天德在坤,月空在甲庚。三月天德在壬,月空在丙壬。四月天德在辛,
月空在甲庚。五月天德在干,月空在丙壬。六月天德在甲,月空在甲庚。七月天德在癸,月空在丙壬。八月天
德在艮,月空在甲庚。九月天德在丙,月空在丙壬。十月天德在乙,月空在甲庚。十一月天德在巽,月空在丙
壬。十二月天德在庚,月空在甲庚。
凡藏儿衣皆根据此法,天德月空处埋之。若有遇反支者,宜以衣内新瓶盛,密封塞口挂于宅外福德之上,向
阳高燥之处。待过月,然后根据法埋藏之,大吉。
《外台》∶崔氏又法∶甲寅旬日,十日不得藏埋儿衣,以瓶盛密封,安置空处,度十日即藏埋之。
《外台》∶崔氏又法∶甲辰、乙巳、丙午、丁未、戊申,此五日亦不藏儿衣。还盛瓶中密塞,勿令气通,挂着
儿生处,过此五日即埋之,亦不得更过此日。
《外台》∶崔氏又法∶甲乙日生儿,丙丁日藏衣吉。丙丁日生儿,戊己日藏衣吉。戊己日生儿,庚辛日藏衣
吉。庚卒日生儿,壬癸日藏衣吉。
《子母秘录》藏衣法∶先用一罐盛儿衣,先以清水洗,次以清酒洗,次入大豆一合,次小豆一合,次城门土、
市门土、狱门土、葱园中土、韭园土各一合,重重复之,上用五色绵各一尺五寸重重系罐口上,用铁券朱书云∶
大豆某胡去无辜,小豆历历去子癖,城门土见公卿,市门土足人行,狱门土辟盗兵,葱韭园土剪复生。与儿青,
令儿寿命得长生。与儿赤,令儿身命皆清吉。与儿白,令儿寿禄皆千百。与儿皂,令儿长寿不衰老。与儿黄,
令儿清净去百殃。急急如律令。将此令于一尺二寸铁栗上,先用净墨涂遍,上以朱砂写此语,令在上,置在罐
口上,且放便处。待满三日,然后于月吉向阳高燥之处,入地三尺埋之,罐上令土一尺七寸,唯须牢筑,使儿
长寿有智能。
The *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: For newborn infants within the first month of life, frequently drinking pig milk is highly beneficial.
The method from the *Taiping Shenghui Fang* (Holy Benefit Formulas of the Taiping Era): To obtain pig milk, one must first allow the piglets to suckle from the sow, then immediately lift the piglet by its hind legs away from the udder and squeeze quickly to extract the milk; squeezing without prior suckling yields no milk.
Zhang Huan stated: For infants within the first month after birth, frequently taking fresh pig milk and dripping it into the mouth is most appropriate.
The *Waitai Miyao* (Secret Essentials of the Outer Cabinet) records: Cui Shi's method for preserving the placenta (fetal membrane/umbilical cord remnant): First wash the placenta with clear water, ensuring it is not contaminated by sand, soil, or grass. Then wash it with clear wine, and place a copper coin inside the placenta. Put it in a new bottle, wrap the bottle mouth with green cotton, cover it tightly, and temporarily store it in a convenient place. After three days have passed, based on the auspicious day of the current month, choose an area that is sunny, elevated, and dry. Bury it three chi deep, with a layer of soil one chi seven cun thick above the bottle. The soil must be tamped firmly to ensure the child lives long and possesses wisdom. If the placenta is not stored carefully and is eaten by pigs or dogs, the child may suffer from epilepsy or madness. If eaten by insects or ants, the child may develop malignant sores. If eaten by dogs or birds, the child may die in battle. If buried near a shrine or temple, the child may see ghosts. If buried near deep water pools, the child may drown. If buried near old stove sites, the child may become easily startled and vigilant. If buried near wells, the child may suffer from deafness and blindness. If discarded in roads or alleys, the child may be childless. If placed at the door, the child may lose their voice and go deaf. If allowed to float down a stream, the child may suffer from blue cataracts (polaris blindness). If thrown into fire, the child may develop rotting sores. If hung on trees, the child may commit suicide by hanging. All such taboos must be observed with utmost caution.
The *Waitai Miyao* records: Cui Shi's method for comforting the postpartum woman and determining dates for burying the placenta based on "Tiande" (Heavenly Virtue) and "Yuekong" (Monthly Void) positions:
In the first month, Tiande is in Ding, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the second month, Tiande is in Kun, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng. In the third month, Tiande is in Ren, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the fourth month, Tiande is in Xin, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng. In the fifth month, Tiande is in Qian, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the sixth month, Tiande is in Jia, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng. In the seventh month, Tiande is in Gui, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the eighth month, Tiande is in Gen, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng. In the ninth month, Tiande is in Bing, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the tenth month, Tiande is in Yi, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng. In the eleventh month, Tiande is in Xun, Yuekong is in Bing and Ren. In the twelfth month, Tiande is in Geng, Yuekong is in Jia and Geng.
Whenever preserving the infant's placenta, follow this method and bury it in the direction of Tiande or Yuekong. If encountering a "Fan Zhi" (Reverse Branch) day, place the placenta in a new bottle, seal the mouth tightly, and hang it outside the house at the Fude (Fortune and Virtue) position, facing a sunny, elevated, and dry area. Wait until the month has passed, then bury it according to the regulations for great auspiciousness.
The *Waitai Miyao* records: Another method by Cui Shi: During the ten days of the Jia-Yin cycle, do not bury the infant's placenta. Place it in a sealed bottle in an open area, and bury it only after these ten days have passed.
The *Waitai Miyao* records: Another method by Cui Shi: On the days of Jia-Chen, Yi-Si, Bing-Wu, Ding-Wei, and Wu-Shen, do not bury the infant's placenta. Keep it in a bottle, tightly sealed to prevent air exchange, and hang it in the room where the child was born. Bury it after these five days have passed, but do not delay beyond this period.
The *Waitai Miyao* records: Another method by Cui Shi: For children born on Jia or Yi days, it is auspicious to preserve the placenta on Bing or Ding days. For children born on Bing or Ding days, it is auspicious to preserve the placenta on Wu or Ji days. For children born on Wu or Ji days, it is auspicious to preserve the placenta on Geng or Xin days. For children born on Geng or Xin days, it is auspicious to preserve the placenta on Ren or Gui days.
The *Zimu Milu* (Secret Records of Mother and Child) method for preserving the placenta: First, place the infant's placenta in a jar. Wash it with clear water, then with clear wine. Add one he of soybeans, then one he of adzuki beans. Then add one he each of soil from city gates, market gates, prison gates, scallion gardens, and leek gardens, layering them repeatedly. Cover the top with layers of five-colored silk, each piece one chi five cun long, tying them securely around the jar mouth. Write the following incantation in vermilion ink on an iron tablet: "Soybean [Name] removes innocent disasters; Adzuki bean Li-Li removes abdominal masses; City gate soil allows meeting nobles; Market gate soil ensures prosperity in travel; Prison gate soil wards off thieves and war; Scallion and leek garden soil cuts off recurrence of illness. Giving the child Green grants long life. Giving the child Red grants bodily purity and auspiciousness. Giving the child White grants longevity and wealth in thousands. Giving the child Black grants longevity without aging. Giving the child Yellow grants purity and removal of all misfortunes. Hurry as if by imperial decree." Attach this talisman to an iron plate one chi two cun long, first coating it thoroughly with clean ink, then writing the text in vermilion cinnabar, placing it face up on the jar mouth. Store it in a convenient place for three days. Then, on an auspicious day of the month, in a sunny, elevated, and dry location, dig a pit three chi deep and bury the jar. Pile soil one chi seven cun high above the jar, tamping it firmly, to ensure the child lives long and possesses intelligence.
