虎口乱纹多 须知气不和 色青惊积聚
下乱泻如何 青黑慢惊发 入掌内吊多
三关忽通过 此候必沉
左右红生似线形 定是伤脾发热惊
右有双纹如左状 食因惊积一齐生
纹头有似三 样 肺气生痰夜作声
赤青应有伤寒症 只是单红泻定生
指上辨青纹 认是四足惊 黑色因水扑
赤是被人惊 紫色热而泻 黄色是雷惊
曲里风还盛 湾分食上蒸 但看 手处
方可辨其形
小儿有病须凭脉 一指三关定其息 浮洪风盛数多惊 虚冷沉迟实有积
小儿一岁至三岁 呼吸须将八至看 九至不安十至困 短长大小有邪干
小儿脉紧是风痫 沉脉须知乳化难 腹痛紧弦牢实秘 沉而迟者骨中寒
小儿脉大多风热 沉细缘因乳食结 弦长知是胃肝风 紧数惊风四肢掣
浮洪胃口似火烧 沉紧腹中痛不歇 虚濡有气更兼风 脉芤多痢大便血
前大后小童脉顺 前小后大必气咽 九至洪来苦烦满 沉细腹中痛切切
滑主露湿冷所伤 弦长客忤分明说 息数平和八至七 此是圣贤传妙诀
凡看小儿一岁至七岁一息八至或云六至是平和无病之脉九至为数十至为极五至为迟四
至
小儿常体貌 情态自端然 鼻内无干涕
喉中绝无涎 头如青黛染 唇似点珠鲜
脸芳花映竹 颐绽水中莲 喜引才方笑
非因手不宣 纵哭无多哭 虽眠不久眠
意同波浪静 情若月明天 此儿安又吉
何愁病患缠
虎口处纹路杂乱，应当知道是气机不和；颜色发青，提示有惊风或积聚。
如果纹路向下延伸且伴有腹泻，该如何处理？
若出现青色和黑色，多为慢惊风发作；若纹路进入手掌内部，则多为内吊（内伤）之象。
若三关纹路忽然贯通，此病候脉象必定沉伏。
左右手红纹如线状生成，必定是伤脾导致的发热、惊风。
右手若有双纹，如同左手状况一样，是因饮食停滞与惊积同时产生。
纹路头部似“川”字形，肺气生痰，夜间发出声响。
赤色和青色应有伤寒症状，若是单条红纹，必定是腹泻。
在手指上辨别青纹，认定为四足动物惊吓所致；黑色是因为被水扑倒；
红色是被被人惊吓；紫色是热盛兼有腹泻；黄色是雷声惊吓。
弯曲处风邪仍盛，分叉处食积上蒸。只有观察手部特定位置，才能辨别其形态。
小儿有病必须依靠诊脉，用一指按在三关处以定呼吸次数。
脉浮洪表示风邪盛，脉数多提示惊证；脉虚冷为沉迟，脉实提示有积滞。
小儿一岁至三岁，呼吸次数以八至为正常标准；九至为不安，十至为困顿，长短大小异常是有邪气干扰。
小儿脉紧是风痫症；沉脉须知是哺乳困难所致；腹痛、脉紧弦牢实且便秘，脉沉而迟则是骨中寒。
小儿脉大多因风热引起；脉沉细是因为乳食结滞；脉弦长知是胃肝风动；脉紧数则是惊风导致四肢抽搐。
脉浮洪表示胃口如火烧；脉沉紧表示腹中疼痛不止；脉虚濡是有气虚兼风邪；脉芤多提示痢疾便血。
前大后小是小儿顺脉；前小后大必定是气逆咽阻；九至洪大苦于烦闷胀满；沉细则腹中痛切。
滑脉主露湿冷所伤；弦长脉客忤症分明可说；呼吸平和七至八至，这是圣贤传授的妙诀。
凡是看小儿，一岁至七岁一息八至，或者说六至是平和无病的脉象；九至为数脉，十至为极脉，五至为迟脉，四至……（原文此处中断）
小儿常态体貌，情态自然端庄。鼻内没有干涕，喉中绝无涎液。
头发如青黛染黑，嘴唇似点珠鲜红。脸庞如花映竹，下巴如水中莲花绽放。
喜欢引导才方笑，并非因为手不舒展。即使哭也不怎么哭，虽然睡但不久睡。
心意同波浪般平静，情感若明月般天明。这孩子安宁又吉祥，何愁病患缠绕。
Where the tiger's mouth (web between thumb and index finger) shows chaotic lines, one must know that Qi is disharmonious; a bluish color indicates fright or accumulation.
If the lines extend downward accompanied by diarrhea, how should it be treated?
If cyan and black appear, it is likely slow convulsion (Man Jing Fa); if the lines enter the palm, it is mostly internal suspension (Nei Diao).
If the three gates (San Guan) lines suddenly connect through, this prognosis will definitely show a deep pulse (Chen Mai).
Red lines appearing like threads on both left and right hands indicate spleen injury with fever and fright.
If there are double lines on the right hand similar to the left condition, it arises from simultaneous food stagnation and fright accumulation.
Lines resembling the character "three" at the head indicate lung Qi generating phlegm with nocturnal sounds.
Red and cyan colors suggest cold damage symptoms; a single red line definitely indicates diarrhea.
Distinguishing blue lines on the fingers identifies them as fright from four-legged animals; black indicates being splashed by water;
red indicates fright from people; purple indicates heat with diarrhea; yellow indicates thunder fright.
Curved areas show prevailing wind; bifurcated areas show steaming food stagnation. Only by observing specific hand locations can the form be distinguished.
For sick children, diagnosis must rely on the pulse; using one finger on the three gates determines the respiration rate.
A floating and full pulse indicates prevailing wind; a rapid pulse suggests many cases of fright; a deficient and cold pulse is deep and slow, while a solid pulse indicates accumulation.
For children aged one to three years, the respiration rate should be eight beats per breath; nine beats indicate unrest, ten beats indicate distress, and irregularities in length, size, etc., are due to pathogenic interference.
A tight pulse in children indicates wind epilepsy; a deep pulse requires knowing it stems from difficult breastfeeding; abdominal pain with a tight, wiry, firm, and solid pulse along with constipation, or a deep and slow pulse, indicates cold in the bones.
A large pulse in children is mostly due to wind-heat; a deep and fine pulse is due to milk and food knotting; a wiry and long pulse indicates stomach and liver wind; a tight and rapid pulse indicates wind convulsions with limb jerking.
A floating and full pulse suggests the stomach feels like burning fire; a deep and tight pulse indicates unceasing abdominal pain; a deficient and soggy pulse indicates Qi deficiency with wind; a knifelike (Kou) pulse often indicates dysentery with bloody stools.
Larger anteriorly and smaller posteriorly is a smooth pediatric pulse; smaller anteriorly and larger posteriorly definitely indicates Qi reversal and throat obstruction; nine beats with a full pulse causes bitter vexation and fullness; deep and fine pulses cause cutting abdominal pain.
A slippery pulse indicates injury from dew, dampness, and cold; a wiry and long pulse clearly describes external shock (Ke Wu); a peaceful respiration of seven to eight beats per breath is the wonderful secret passed down by sages.
Generally, for children aged one to seven, eight beats per breath, or sometimes six beats, is a peaceful, disease-free pulse; nine beats is a rapid pulse, ten beats is an extreme pulse, five beats is a slow pulse, four beats... [Text ends abruptly]
The normal constitution and appearance of a child show naturally dignified demeanor. There are no dry nasal discharges, nor any saliva in the throat.
Hair is dyed dark like indigo, lips are fresh like dotted pearls. The face shines like flowers reflecting bamboo, the chin blooms like a lotus in water.
They smile when guided, not because their hands are restricted. Even if they cry, they do not cry much; though they sleep, they do not sleep long.
Their mind is calm like still waves, their emotion bright like the clear moon. This child is safe and auspicious; why worry about illness entangling them?
