Chao Yuanfang stated: Children's intestines and stomachs are weak; upon contracting wind-cold (recorded in *Taiping Shenghui Fang* as "accompanied by malnutrition qi") they suffer from diarrhea. After the dysentery ceases, the spleen and stomach remain deficient, and the qi of grain is still insufficient, failing to nourish the blood and qi, thus resulting in emaciation.
