三焦者。人生三元之气。脏腑空处是也。上焦心肺居之。中焦脾胃居之。下焦肝肾膀胱大小
肠居之。其气总领脏腑营卫经络。内外左右上下之气。三焦通则竟体调和。斯其职已。
三焦之病。属于脏腑。并无另立病名。

（手厥阴属腑）
心包络者。即膻中。与心相附。居膈上。代君行事。臣使之官。喜乐出焉。其见证有手中热。心中
大热。面黄目赤。心中动诸端。而要之包络之病。即心部之病也。言心不必更言包络矣。
小儿之病。百倍难于方脉。其疾痛 痒不能自言。旁人又不能代言。全恃医家以意揣之。揣
之不合。杀人易于反掌。即揣得其当。而小儿纯阳之体。易虚易实。药一过分。变幻百端。此非
绝顶聪明。好学深思。心知其意者。未易胜任也。至于护惜之深。姑息之至。则饱暖失宜。果物
恣食。畏苦废药。或求速杂投。则又非医家之咎矣。然揣之之法。不过辨其表里虚实寒热。其
法与方脉无异。其症亦与方脉同。方脉中之病。小儿亦无不有也。故不能儿科者。或能治方
脉。不能方脉者。必不能治儿科。

(The Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Belongs to the Fu Organs)
The Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is the pathway of the Yuan Qi (Original Qi) in human life and refers to the empty spaces among the Zang-Fu organs. The Upper Jiao houses the Heart and Lungs, the Middle Jiao houses the Spleen and Stomach, and the Lower Jiao houses the Liver, Kidneys, Bladder, Large Intestine, and Small Intestine. Its Qi commands the Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, meridians, and the Qi of all internal, external, left, right, upper, and lower parts of the body. When the Sanjiao is unobstructed, the whole body is harmonized; this is its function.
Diseases of the Sanjiao belong to the Zang-Fu organs and do not have independently established disease names.

(The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Belongs to the Fu Organs)
The Xinbaoluo (Pericardium) is located at the Danzhong region, attached to the Heart, situated above the diaphragm, and acts on behalf of the Monarch (Heart). It is the Official of the Envoy, from which joy and pleasure arise. Its clinical manifestations include heat in the palms, intense heat in the chest, yellowish complexion, red eyes, palpitations, and various other symptoms. However, essentially, diseases of the Pericardium are diseases of the Heart. Therefore, speaking of the Heart makes it unnecessary to separately discuss the Pericardium.
Pediatric diseases are a hundred times more difficult to treat than adult pulse-diagnosed conditions. Children cannot verbally express their pain or itching, and others cannot speak for them. Treatment relies entirely on the physician's deduction. If the deduction is incorrect, causing death is as easy as turning one's hand; even if the deduction is correct, because children possess a "Pure Yang" constitution, their conditions easily shift from deficiency to excess or vice versa. If medication is administered excessively, the condition will change unpredictably. This requires a physician of supreme intelligence, who loves learning, thinks deeply, and understands the principles internally; such a person is not easily found to be competent. As for parents' excessive protection and indulgence, leading to improper diet and temperature regulation, unrestricted consumption of fruits, refusal of medicine due to bitterness, or seeking quick results by indiscriminate administration of drugs, these are not the faults of the physician. However, the method of deduction is merely distinguishing between Exterior/Interior, Deficiency/Excess, Cold/Heat. The methods are no different from adult pulse diagnosis, and the symptoms are the same. Diseases found in adult pulse diagnosis are also present in children. Thus, a physician who cannot treat pediatrics might be able to treat adults; but a physician who cannot treat adults certainly cannot treat pediatrics.
