手如数物兮,肝风将发;
将手抱头者死。
面若涂朱兮,心火似炙。坐卧爱暖,风寒之入;伸缩就冷,烦热之攻。肚大脚小,脾欲困而成疳;目瞪
口张,势似危而必毙。噫!五体以头为尊,一面惟神可恃。
小儿诸病,但见两眼无睛光,黑睛无转运,目睫无锋芒,如鱼、猫眼状,或两眼闭,而黑睛朦昧者死;或

啼有干湿之顿异。
直声往来而无泪者是痛,连声不绝而多泪者是惊。慈煎声烦躁者难愈,躁促声音者感寒。
病之初作,必先呵欠;
肝所主也。面赤者风热,面青者惊风,面黄者脾虚;多睡者内热,心神不安者气热,声瓮者伤风。
火之大发,忽然惊叫。
乃火动气虚必死。夜半发者,多有口疮,宜即看之。
藜藿不同于膏粱,韦勃自殊于绮绢。虽由外以识中,勿刻舟而求剑。
相儿寿夭歌∶身软阳痿头四破,脐小脐高肉不就;发稀色脆短声啼,遍体青筋俱不寿;尻肿膑骨若不成,
能踞能行能立死;脐深色老性尊持,方是人家长命子。
凡是胎神(胎儿守护之神)所在之处,都不宜进行修缮动土,即使是邻居家的施工也要避开。孕妇应当回避这些方位。如果不回避,即使不导致流产,也会使胎儿形体受损,表现为面色青暗、身体拘挛、孔窍闭塞而夭折。
胎神所在方位:
正月在房床,二月在窗户,三月在门堂,四月在灶台,五月在身床(人躺卧的床铺),六月在床仓(床下的储物空间),七月在碓磨(舂米和磨面的器具旁),八月在厕所门口,九月在门房,十月在床房,十一月在炉灶,十二月在房床。子日、丑日在中堂,寅日、卯日、辰日、酉日在灶台,巳日、午日在门,未日、申日在篱笆下,戌日、亥日在房间。以上禁忌,最好完全不要进行修理为最佳。
游神(房中凶神)所在方位:
癸巳日、甲午日、己未日、丙申日、丁酉日在房内北方,癸卯日在房内西方,甲辰日、乙巳日、丙午日、丁未日在房内东方,六戌日(应为“戊戌”之误或泛指)、六巳日(同上,指特定干支日)在房中,庚子日、辛丑日、壬寅日在房内南方。凡游神所在的方位,忌讳安放床铺、更换帐幔、将重物放置在床上,否则必然导致流产。
分娩时胎儿朝向的吉利方位:
子日、午日、卯日、酉日,适宜面向西南;寅日、申日、巳日、亥日,适宜面向西北;辰日、戌日、丑日、未日,适宜面向东南。难产时,用紫苏叶煎汤清洗脐部、腹部及阴门。
藏胎盘的方法:
应藏在生气方(吉利的方位)。正月子方,二月丑方,三月寅方,四月卯方,五月辰方,六月巳方,七月午方,八月未方,九月申方,十月酉方,十一月戌方,十二月亥方。如果生气方不便操作,可根据历法将胎盘藏在奏书、博士、月德等吉利方位上。忌讳放在月空、三杀、太岁等凶煞方位。世俗人多将其扔进河里,这是错误的。
观察小儿的气色:
肝对应青色,心对应赤色,脾对应黄色,肺对应白色,肾对应黑色。凡是患病的面色中没有黄色的,属于不治之症。春季面色白、夏季面色黑、秋季面色红、冬季面色黄,这些都是逆证(病情加重或预后不良)。
先区分面部部位:左颊属青龙,对应肝脏,应验于春季,青色表示邪气有余。右颊属白虎,对应肺脏,应验于秋季,白色表示正气不足。天庭(额头)高耸且离阳(对应夏季,颜色红主心火)处,红色主大热,青色主肝风。印堂发青表示受惊,红白相间表示水火相激受惊,红色表示痰热,印堂连准头(鼻尖)发红表示三焦积热;印堂至山根(鼻根)发红表示心与小肠有热,小便赤涩;山根至鼻柱发红表示心胃有热,大小便涩滞。地阁(下巴)低陷且坎阴(此处原文有误,坎通常对应冬/水/肾,但文中括号内写应夏/色白肾虚,逻辑混乱,依文意翻译)处,肾水不足。承浆(下巴沟槽)色青,进食时易惊,或烦躁夜间啼哭;色黄多呕吐逆乱;色红表示肾中气机病变;两颐(脸颊下部)发红表示肺热。鼻子位于面部中央,对应四季,准头(鼻尖)红黄表示无病。脾对应唇际。红色主口渴。蛔虫咬心头者,嘴唇必定反卷。人中候小肠,喜欢深长,厌恶平满。人中发黑表示泻痢致死。凡是五岳(面部五官隆起处)发红都是热证,淡白都是虚证。陈氏关于五脏惊积冷热的诗说:肝惊起于发际,肝积在食仓(口角),肝冷唇青白,肝热在眉心;心惊在印堂,心积在额角,心冷在太阳穴位,心热在面颊;脾惊在正发际,脾积唇应黄,脾冷在眉中岳,脾热在太阳穴;肺惊发际赤,肺积在发际正中,肺冷在人中见,肺热在面颊旁;肾惊在耳前穴,肾积在眼胞,肾冷额头色紫,肾热赤色在食仓。
红色气显现而热痰壅盛,印堂属心。红色主热痰,青黑主惊痰,黄青主风痰。青色显露而惊风怔悸。如煤般黑为痛症,中恶逆传;似桔子般黄为食伤(右侧太阴,文武台皆青,)脾虚吐利(也有热证)。白色乃疳积痨病,为寒证,肺气不利。紫色为热炽盛。变黑者死。青色遮盖口角难医,为惊狂。黑色掩盖太阳穴不治。左侧太阳穴青,惊证轻;红色,伤寒鼻塞,变蒸壮热;黑青为乳积。右侧太阳穴青,惊证重;红色,风抽眼目;黑色,死证。红色延伸至太阴(眉尾),内外有热;连文台(眉中),热极;连武台(眉梢),渐生变证。年寿(鼻根至鼻梁中段)赤光(平坦者长寿,凹陷者夭折),多生脓血;山根青黑,频见灾危,必死。黑色,痢疾;赤黑色,吐泻困倦;黄色,霍乱;红色,夜啼;紫色,伤饮食。朱雀贯于双瞳,火入水乡;眼睛朦胧,热毒;黑睛黄者,伤寒危证。青蛇绕于四白(眼白),肝乘肺部。青色为肝风,黄色乃食积。泻痢而带阳须防,咳嗽而拖蓝可忌。疼痛剧烈时,面青而唇口撮缩;惊风欲发时,面赤而目窜视。红光焰焰,外感风寒;黄气浮浮,中藏积滞。乍黄乍白,疳积连绵;又赤又青,风邪抽搐。气乏囟门成坑,红色惊热夜啼,红肿惊风痰热。前囟虚软,母气血弱;后囟不坚,父精不实,血衰头毛作穗。发黄焦槁者,腑热。肉折皮枯者,死。肝气眼生眵泪,脾冷涎流滞颐。正口红色为平,干燥脾热,白主失血,青黄惊积,青黑者死。面目虚浮,定腹胀而上喘;眉毛频蹙,必腹痛而多啼。久病两眉红者,夜啼;紫色,风热;赤红者,死。皱者痢疾。风气二池(风池、气池)如黄土,则为不宜;风池红,有风痰将欲发搐;气池红,伤风有热入里。左右两颊似青黛,则为客忤。黄色痰实,红主惊风,赤者伤寒。风门黑主疝,而青为惊(红主吐泻);方广光滑吉,而昏黯凶。中庭、天庭、司空、印堂、额角、方广,皆命门部位,青黑惊风恶候,亦忌损陷。手如数物兮,肝风将发;将手抱头者死。面若涂朱兮,心火似炙。坐卧爱暖,风寒之入;伸缩就冷,烦热之攻。肚大脚小,脾欲困而成疳;目瞪口张,势似危而必毙。噫!五体以头为尊,一面惟神可恃。小儿诸病,但见两眼无睛光,黑睛无转运,目睫无锋芒,如鱼、猫眼状,或两眼闭,而黑睛朦昧者死;或外若昏团,而神藏于内不脱者生。黑珠满轮,睛明者少病。眼白多,睛珠或黄、或小者,禀弱多病。目证内赤者,心热;淡红者,心虚热;青者,肝热;浅淡者,肝虚;黄者,脾热;无睛光者,肾虚,白而混者肺热。况乎声有轻重之不同,声轻者,气也,弱也。重浊者,痛也,风也。高喊者,热欲狂也,声急者神惊,声塞者痰,声战者寒,声噎者气不顺。喘者气促,喷嚏者伤风。惊哭声沉不响者重;声浊沉静者疳积。如生来不大啼哭,声啾啾者夭。啼有干湿之顿异。直声往来而无泪者是痛,连声不绝而多泪者是惊。慈煎声烦躁者难愈,躁促声音者感寒。病之初作,必先呵欠;肝所主也。面赤者风热,面青者惊风,面黄者脾虚;多睡者内热,心神不安者气热,声瓮者伤风。火之大发,忽然惊叫。乃火动气虚必死。夜半发者,多有口疮,宜即看之。藜藿不同于膏粱,韦勃自殊于绮绢。虽由外以识中,勿刻舟而求剑。相儿寿夭歌:身软阳痿头四破,脐小脐高肉不就;发稀色脆短声啼,遍体青筋俱不寿;尻肿膑骨若不成,能踞能行能立死;脐深色老性尊持,方是人家长命子。
Wherever the Tai Shen (Fetal Guardian Spirit) resides, renovation or construction should be avoided. Even if neighbors are working, pregnant women must stay away. Otherwise, even if miscarriage does not occur, it may cause fetal deformity, manifesting as bluish complexion, muscle spasms, blocked orifices, and premature death.
Tai Shen Locations:
In the first month, it is in the bed; second month, at the window; third month, in the hall doorway; fourth month, at the stove; fifth month, on the bed; sixth month, in the bed storage; seventh month, at the mortar and pestle; eighth month, at the toilet door; ninth month, in the gatehouse; tenth month, in the bedroom; eleventh month, at the furnace; twelfth month, in the bed. On Zi and Chou days, it is in the central hall; on Yin, Mao, Chen, and You days, it is at the stove; on Si and Wu days, it is at the door; on Wei and Shen days, it is under the fence; on Xu and Hai days, it is in the room. The best approach to these taboos is to refrain from all repairs.
You Shen (Wandering God) Locations:
On Gui Si, Jia Wu, Ji Wei, Bing Shen, and Ding You days, it is in the north of the room; on Gui Mao day, it is in the west of the room; on Jia Chen, Yi Si, Bing Wu, and Ding Wei days, it is in the east of the room; on Liu Xu and Liu Si days, it is in the center of the room; on Geng Zi, Xin Chou, and Ren Yin days, it is in the south of the room. In places where the You Shen resides, one must avoid installing beds, changing curtains, or placing heavy objects on the bed, as this will surely lead to miscarriage.
Childbirth Direction:
On Zi, Wu, Mao, and You days, the southwest direction is suitable; on Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai days, the northwest direction is suitable; on Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei days, the southeast direction is suitable. For difficult labor, wash the umbilicus, abdomen, and vulva with a decoction of Perilla Leaf (Ephedrae Herba is mentioned in source text as 'Su Ye' which is Perillae Folium, but WHO standard for Su Ye is Perillae Folium. Note: Source says 'Su Ye', I will use Perillae Folium).
Method for Burying the Placenta:
It should be buried above the Sheng Qi (Vital Energy) direction. In the first month, the Zi direction; second month, Chou; third month, Yin; fourth month, Mao; fifth month, Chen; sixth month, Si; seventh month, Wu; eighth month, Wei; ninth month, Shen; tenth month, You; eleventh month, Xu; twelfth month, Hai. If the Sheng Qi direction is inconvenient, bury it according to the calendar in the directions of Zoushu, Boshi, or Yuede. Avoid burying it in the Kong Wang, San Sha, or Tai Sui directions. It is incorrect to throw it into rivers as is common custom.
Observing Infant Complexion:
Liver Qi manifests as green/blue; Heart Qi as red; Spleen Qi as yellow; Lung Qi as white; Kidney Qi as black. Any disease presentation lacking yellow in the complexion is incurable. White face in Spring, Black in Summer, Red in Autumn, and Yellow in Winter are adverse signs.
Divide by location: The left cheek corresponds to the Azure Dragon and Liver, matching Spring; green indicates excess. The right cheek corresponds to the White Tiger and Lung, matching Autumn; white indicates deficiency. The Tian Ting (Forehead) is high and Li Yang (corresponds to Summer, red indicates Heart Heat); red signifies intense heat, while blue/green indicates Liver Wind. Cyan at the Yin Tang (between eyebrows) indicates fright; red and white indicate Water-Fire fright; red indicates Phlegm-Heat; red from Yin Tang to Zhun Tou (Nose Tip) indicates accumulation of Heat in the Triple Burner; red from Yin Tang to Shan Gen (Nasal Root) indicates Heat in the Heart and Small Intestine, with dark and scanty urination; red from Shan Gen to the nasal bridge indicates Heat in the Heart and Stomach, with difficult urination and defecation. The Di Ge (Chin) is low and Kan Yin (Note: Text says "Corresponds to Summer, White indicates Kidney Deficiency", which contradicts standard TCM where Kidney/Water corresponds to Winter/Black. Translating literally as per source): Kidney Water. Cyan at Cheng Jiang indicates fright during eating, irritability, and night crying; yellow indicates vomiting and regurgitation; red indicates Qi pathology in the Kidneys; red cheeks indicate Lung Heat. The nose is in the center of the face, corresponding to the Four Seasons; a red and yellow Zhun Tou indicates health. The Spleen corresponds to the lips; red indicates thirst. If Ascaris bites the heart, the lips will invert. The Ren Zhong (Philtrum) reflects the Small Intestine; it should be deep and long, not flat and full. Blackness here indicates death from diarrhea/dysentery. Redness in the Five Yue (facial peaks) indicates Heat; pale white indicates Deficiency. Chen's poem on Five Organs' Fright, Accumulation, Cold, and Heat states: Liver Fright starts at the hairline, Liver Accumulation is in the Food Granary (corner of mouth), Liver Cold makes lips cyan-white, Liver Heat is at the glabella; Heart Fright is at Yin Tang, Heart Accumulation is at the temple corners, Heart Cold is at the Tai Yang position, Heart Heat is on the cheeks; Spleen Fright is at the hairline, Spleen Accumulation makes lips yellow, Spleen Cold is in the middle of the brows, Spleen Heat is at the Tai Yang acupoint; Lung Fright makes the hairline red, Lung Accumulation is at the hairline, Lung Cold is seen at the Ren Zhong, Lung Heat is beside the cheeks; Kidney Fright is at the ear-front acupoint, Kidney Accumulation is in the eye bags, Kidney Cold makes the forehead purple, Kidney Heat makes the Food Granary red.
Red Qi appearing indicates Phlegm-Heat congestion. Yin Tang belongs to the Heart. Red indicates Phlegm-Heat; Blue-Black indicates Fright-Phlegm; Yellow-Green indicates Wind-Phlegm. Cyan exposure indicates Wind-Fright and palpitations. Coal-black indicates pain and malignant transformation; Orange-yellow indicates Food Injury (Right Taiyin, Wen and Wu Terraces both cyan indicate Spleen Deficiency with vomiting/diarrhea, though some cases are Heat). White indicates Malnutrition Consumption (Gan Lao) and Cold, with impaired Lung Qi. Purple indicates intense Heat. Turning black indicates death. Cyan covering the mouth corner is difficult to treat, indicating mania from fright. Black covering the Tai Yang acupoint is untreatable. Left Tai Yang cyan indicates mild fright; red indicates Wind-Cold with nasal congestion and fever from Bian Zheng; black-cyan indicates Milk Accumulation. Right Tai Yang cyan indicates severe fright; red indicates Wind convulsions of eyes; black indicates death. Red reaching Taiyin indicates internal and external Heat; connecting to Wen Terrace indicates extreme Heat; connecting to Wu Terrace indicates gradual development of pathological changes. Red glow on Nian Shou (middle nose) indicates pus and blood (flat is longevity, depressed is premature death); cyan-black at Shan Gen indicates frequent disasters and danger, leading to death. Black indicates Dysentery; Red-Black indicates exhaustion from vomiting/diarrhea; Yellow indicates Cholera-like disorder; Red indicates Night Crying; Purple indicates Food Injury. Vermilion Bird penetrating both pupils indicates Fire entering the Water region; opacity indicates Toxic Heat; yellow sclera/black iris indicates critical Shang Han. Green Snake winding around Si Bai indicates Liver overacting on Lungs. Cyan indicates Liver Wind; Yellow indicates Food Accumulation. Watch out for diarrhea/dysentery affecting the Yang; beware of coughing with blue discoloration. Severe pain presents with cyan face and puckered lips; impending Wind-Fright presents with red face and darting eyes. Bright Red Flame indicates External Wind-Cold; Floating Yellow Qi indicates Internal Food Stagnation. Alternating Yellow and White indicates continuous Gan Accumulation; Red and Cyan together indicates Wind Pathogen causing clonic spasms (Yong Zhong). Qi deficiency causes a sunken fontanelle; Red indicates Fright-Heat night crying and swollen/red fontanelle from Phlegm-Heat. Soft anterior fontanelle indicates Mother's Qi and Blood weakness; unstable posterior fontanelle indicates Father's Essence deficiency; thin hair tufts indicate Blood decline. Yellow and dry/withered indicates Fu Organ Heat. Broken flesh and withered skin indicates death. Liver Qi causes eye discharge and tears; Spleen Cold causes saliva flowing down the chin. Normal mouth color is red; dryness indicates Spleen Heat; white indicates Blood loss; cyan-yellow indicates Fright-Accumulation; cyan-black indicates death. Puffy face and eyes indicate abdominal distension and asthma; frequent frowning indicates abdominal pain and excessive crying. Long-term illness with red eyebrows indicates night crying; purple indicates Wind-Heat; bright red indicates death; wrinkles indicate dysentery. Feng Chi and Qi Chi resembling yellow earth is unfavorable; Red Feng Chi indicates impending Wind-Phlegm convulsion; Red Qi Chi indicates Wind-Cold with Heat entering interior. Cheeks resembling Qing Dai (Azurite) indicate Ke Wu (Guest Fright). Yellow indicates Phlegm Excess; Red indicates Fright-Wind; Red-Chief indicates Wind-Cold. Black at Feng Men indicates Hernia; Cyan indicates Fright (Red indicates vomiting/diarrhea); smooth and broad is auspicious; dull and dark is ominous. Zhong Ting, Tian Ting, Si Kong, Yin Tang, temples, and broad areas are all Ming Men regions; cyan-black indicating Fright-Wind is a bad omen, and depression/injury is also taboo. Hands counting objects indicates impending Liver Wind; holding head with hands indicates death. Face like vermilion paste indicates Heart Fire like roasting. Preferring warmth in sitting/sleeping indicates Wind-Cold invasion; seeking cold indicates attacking Irritating Heat. Large belly and small legs indicate Spleen failing to transform, leading to Gan; staring eyes and open mouth indicate critical condition leading to death. Alas! Among the five body parts, the head is supreme; in the face, only the Spirit (Shen) can be relied upon. In pediatric diseases, if the eyes lack luster, the black pupil does not move, eyelashes lack sharpness, resembling fish or cat eyes, or eyes are closed with opaque black pupils, death ensues. If externally dull but Spirit is hidden internally without escaping, survival is possible. Full black pupils with clear brightness indicate few illnesses. More white sclera, or yellow/small pupils, indicate weak constitution and frequent illness. Red inner canthus indicates Heart Heat; pale red indicates Heart Deficient Heat; cyan indicates Liver Heat; light cyan indicates Liver Deficiency; yellow indicates Spleen Heat; no luster indicates Kidney Deficiency; white and turbid indicates Lung Heat. Regarding voice differences: Light voice indicates Qi weakness; heavy/muddy voice indicates Pain or Wind. Loud shouting indicates Heat approaching madness; urgent voice indicates Spirit Fright; obstructed voice indicates Phlegm; trembling voice indicates Cold; choking voice indicates Qi stagnation. Panting indicates shortness of breath; sneezing indicates Wind-Cold. Deep, non-resonant crying from fright indicates severity; muddy, quiet voice indicates Gan Accumulation. Not crying loudly from birth, with squeaky voice, indicates premature death. Crying types differ in dryness and wetness: Direct sound without tears indicates Pain; continuous sound with many tears indicates Fright. Irritable, hard-to-soothe crying is difficult to cure; restless, rapid voice indicates Cold invasion. At the onset of disease, yawning occurs first; this is governed by the Liver. Red face indicates Wind-Heat; cyan face indicates Fright-Wind; yellow face indicates Spleen Deficiency; excessive sleep indicates Internal Heat; restlessness indicates Qi Heat; muffled voice indicates Wind-Cold. Sudden screaming due to intense Fire indicates Fire agitation and Qi Deficiency, leading to death. Occurring at midnight often involves mouth ulcers; check immediately. Coarse food differs from rich delicacies; coarse cloth differs from silk. Although we know the interior through the exterior, do not seek the sword by carving the boat (be rigid). Song for Predicting Lifespan: Soft body, weak genitals, four cracks on head, small or high umbilicus, flesh not adhering; sparse/brittle hair, short crying, visible blue veins all over body—all indicate short life; swollen buttocks, undeveloped kneecaps, inability to squat/walk/stand leads to death; dark umbilicus, aged appearance, dignified temperament—this is the child who will live long.
