正月在房床。二月在窗户。三月在门堂。四月在灶。五月在身床。六月在床仓。
七月在磨碓。八月在侧户。九月在门房。十月在床房。十一月在炉灶。十二月在房床。子丑日在中堂。
寅卯辰酉日在灶。巳午日在门。戌亥日在房。未申日在篱下。
甲辰、乙巳、丙午、丁未日，在房内东。庚子、辛丑、壬寅日，在房内南。六戊、六己日，在房内北。
子午卯酉日，宜西南。寅申巳亥日，宜西北。辰戌丑未日，宜东南。
正、三、五、七、九、十一月，壬日安产，丙位藏衣。其余皆双月。甲位安产，庚位藏衣。又云∶
藏衣忌太岁方、三杀方。宜用稍大、平稳瓷瓶，将衣胞内安入五种果子，如枣儿、莲子之类，每样数枚，
宜单，取再生儿之意。并将胞埋深土，以
防畜类刨挖。安放平稳，令儿不惊，瓶器稍大，儿不吐乳。至于游年白虎杀神，安产藏衣俱忌，
太岁退一位即是也。如子年在亥，丑年在子，余以类推。
凡孕妇临月，择天月二德吉日，令善书者，先期斋戒三日。至日，汲新水研朱，于黄纸上焚香书
曰∶东借十步，西借十步，南借十步，北借十步，上借十步，下借十步，壁方之中四十余步，安产借地。
或有污秽，或有东海神王，或有西海神王，或有南海神王，或有北海神王，或有日游将军，白虎夫人，
远去十丈，轩辕、招摇举高十丈，天符、地轴入地十丈，令地空闲。产妇某氏安居，无所妨碍，无所
畏忌，诸神拥护，百邪速去，急急如律令。书毕，帖孕归墙壁上，则不须避忌矣。
In the first month, the Fetal Spirit (Tai Shen) resides on the bed in the room. In the second month, it resides by the window. In the third month, it resides in the main hall or doorway area. In the fourth month, it resides by the stove. In the fifth month, it resides on the bed where the mother lies. In the sixth month, it resides in the granary or corner of the bed.
In the seventh month, it resides by the millstone and mortar. In the eighth month, it resides by the side door. In the ninth month, it resides in the anteroom. In the tenth month, it resides in the bedroom. In the eleventh month, it resides by the furnace/stove. In the twelfth month, it returns to the bed in the room. On Zi (Rat) and Chou (Ox) days, it resides in the central hall.
On Yin (Tiger), Mao (Rabbit), Chen (Dragon), and You (Rooster) days, it resides by the stove. On Si (Snake) and Wu (Horse) days, it resides at the door. On Xu (Dog) and Hai (Pig) days, it resides in the room. On Wei (Goat) and Shen (Monkey) days, it resides under the fence.
On Jia-Chen, Yi-Si, Bing-Wu, and Ding-Wei days, it resides in the eastern part of the room. On Geng-Zi, Xin-Chou, and Ren-Yin days, it resides in the southern part of the room. On Liu-Wu and Liu-Ji days (days with Heavenly Stems Wu and Ji), it resides in the northern part of the room.
On Zi, Wu, Mao, and You days, it is auspicious to give birth facing Southwest. On Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai days, it is auspicious to give birth facing Northwest. On Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei days, it is auspicious to give birth facing Southeast.
In odd-numbered months (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th), if birth occurs on a Ren day, it is highly auspicious; clothing should be stored in the Bing position (South). For even-numbered months, if birth occurs on a Jia day, it is highly auspicious; clothing should be stored in the Geng position (West). Another saying states: When storing clothing, one must avoid the Tai Sui direction and the San Sha (Three Killings) direction. It is advisable to use a slightly large, stable porcelain jar, place the placenta inside, and add five types of fruits, such as dates and lotus seeds, with several pieces of each type. The quantity should be odd, symbolizing the intention for the child to have offspring later. The jar containing the placenta should be buried deep in the soil to prevent animals from digging it up. Place it steadily so the fetus is not startled; a larger jar prevents the infant from spitting up milk. Regarding the You Nian Bai Hu Sha Shen (Wandering Year White Tiger Killing God) and other malevolent spirits, directions for childbirth and storing clothing must avoid these; their position is one step backward from the Tai Sui direction. For example, in a Zi year, it is in the Hai position; in a Chou year, it is in the Zi position; others follow this analogy.
Whenever a pregnant woman approaches her due date, select an auspicious day blessed by Tian De (Heavenly Virtue) and Yue De (Monthly Virtue). Have a person skilled in calligraphy fast and purify themselves for three days prior. On the day, draw fresh water and grind cinnabar. Burn incense and write on yellow paper: "Borrow ten steps East, borrow ten steps West, borrow ten steps South, borrow ten steps North, borrow ten steps Up, borrow ten steps Down, totaling over forty steps within the four walls, borrowing land for safe childbirth." If there are any impurities, or if the Gods of the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea reside here, or if the Day Traveling General, Lady Bai Hu, or the stars Xuan Yuan and Zhao Yao are present, please move away ten zhang (approx. 33 meters); raise Xuan Yuan and Zhao Yao ten zhang high; sink Tian Fu and Di Zhou ten zhang into the earth, leaving the land vacant. Let the产妇 (parturient), Ms. [Name], reside and give birth safely, without obstruction, fear, or taboo, protected by all gods, with all evils swiftly departing. So decree. After writing, paste this paper on the wall near where the pregnant woman rests, and no further taboos need be observed.
