生产一道，天地自然妙理，不假修为。然诗人以不坼不副，无灾无害美后稷，则自后
稷以外，固实有坼副灾害其母者，保产之术，可不讲乎？世风不古，胎教久废，为母者既
不能保于平时，身安逸则气血凝滞，奉养浓则脂膜肥满，嗜欲多则胎衣浓而难破。不幸
值此，急以回生丹治之。
郑兰皋曰∶嗜欲一端为害最重。三月前犯，能动胎小产，三月后犯，使子不寿，慎之慎之。
又曰∶出胎时，身多白点，或两足粉白如枯骨，或痘标干涸焦紫，皆此之故。
又曰∶饮食最忌炙 椒辣，及驴马犬兔，蟹鳖 鱼，河豚菌子，野雀薏苡茨菰之类。昔
人有食兔缺唇，食鳖短项，食鳖横生，食鱼生疮等论，验之良然。
史指臣曰∶俗信师巫邪说，转女为男，妄用针灸，或吞符水，或以麝香膏药贴脐，为害匪浅。
少妇初产，神气怯弱，子户未舒。中年妇人，生育既多，血气亏损，二者须大金丹至宝丸，常服调理。
怀孕六七月，或八九月，偶略曲身，胎忽乱动，三两日间，或痛或止，或有水下，惟
腰不甚痛，胎未离经，名曰弄产。又有临产一月前，忽然腰痛，却又不产，此是转胎，名
曰试月。胎水有无俱不妨，但直身坐卧行立，即无事。又有伸手高处取物，忽子鸣腹中，但
令鞠躬片时即愈。
临产阵痛，有二三日者，有五七日者，气候未至，须听其坐卧如意，不得便令扶坐努
力，忧疑气馁，或丸或散，谅虚实消息之。（大金丹、回生丹、达生散便产神方）
临产有七候，脐腹急痛，腰间重堕，眼中火出，粪门进急，产户肿满，手中指筋脉
跳动，胞水或血俱下，方是子出胎时，产母始可用力。如数症未备，即一日二日，切不
可强使挣努。又有胞水以下，儿头已到产门，三四日仍不出者，亦唯有调其饮食待之，服大金丹壮之。
临产时饮食减少，即须常服独参汤调理，不可使精力衰乏，若交骨不开，是气血不能
运达，须补中益气，加味穹归汤服之。
临产时惊觉太早，血先下而胎元干涸，僵死腹中，唯看产母面舌。面青母伤，舌青子
伤，面舌俱青，子母难保。下死胎，亦不必仓皇用力，服回生丹至三丸立下。若一时未
备，以平胃散一两，投朴硝五钱，煎三五沸温服，其胎即化水而出，切忌用力，骇伤产母。
产时子有出户之势，转侧差缓，母力一逼，或手或足，横生倒生。又有生路未正。儿
头遍拄左右腿畔，名曰偏产。又有偏拄谷道，名曰枨后。凡此宜急扶产妇上床，正身仰卧，
浓被覆之，服便产汤（临产，预煎，）须臾提上，重新转身，儿头正对产门矣，急扶即生。
程克庵曰∶俗谓手先出为觅盐，以手得盐而螫缩也。吴子通云∶不论手足先出，急
以针尖微刺手足心内，大约深半米许，用盐
醋泥三味，调匀涂之，轻轻送入产时门户俱正，儿已露顶而不下，此转身时，脐带绊其
肩也，扶母仰卧，轻轻推儿向上，以手指轻按儿肩，去其脐带，然后用力送下。
胎衣来迟，气虚弱也，大金丹服之。若血流入衣，胀闷疼痛，宜速服回生丹二三丸，
或牛膝汤下之，捷法用滚水磨好陈墨，冲服即下。或令能事稳婆，以手循脐带而上，轻
覆衣血，从容俟下亦下。有用萆麻子贴足心，及令产妇含头发作呕者，甚非良法，切须戒之。
产时用力太早，水衣先破，以鱼胶烧过存性，擂细冲酒服之。又有水衣破时，被风
所吹，产户肿胀，干涩狭小者，亦从容俟之。又有稳婆蓄意害人，私以指掐破水衣，须要防护。
产时肠先盘出，用净盆盛温水，少入香油养润，待儿并胞衣下时，母略仰卧，自己吸
气上升，稳婆香油涂手，徐徐送入。或以阴阳家用过磁石煎汤服之。亦能收上。或浓煎
黄汤浸之，补中益气汤服之，尤为妙法。又有儿并胞衣下后，膀胱坠出产户者，同前法
送入。若稳婆不谨，膀胱扯破者，八珍汤加猪胞三钱，服之可复。
汪宁斋曰∶盘肠为中气不足，若初胎见此，下次孕时五六月上多，服补中升提之剂，分娩自无此患。
产毕产门不闭，气血虚也，加味芎归汤、十全大补汤，俱可服。若因胎大，而擦伤产
门者，蕲艾、益母草煎汤洗之。
产后血晕，不省人事，用韭菜细切，装入有嘴瓶内，煎滚醋沃之，封扎瓶口，刺二
小窍，扶产妇坐定，以瓶窍对鼻孔熏之，令醋气透入，须臾自苏。或进大金丹、清魂散，
亦无不效。曩有烧旧漆器法，不宜用之。盖血气未回，秽触必生他病，岂可妄施乃尔。
方公度曰∶败血逆上攻心，满急垂绝者，用生姜二十片，盐半斤炒热布包熨之，血下
而愈。或韭菜同炒亦妙。又有败血入肺作喘
者，人参、苏木等分，煎服自瘥。
产后百脉空虚，洗拭太早，令中风口噤，手足搐搦，角弓反张，或因怒气，发热迷闷，
用荆芥穗微焙，当归酒洗各二钱，水盅半，童便黄酒各半盅，煎七分灌之。牙关紧，以簪
抉开，或口对口灌，仍捻其鼻，以手摩其喉，使得下咽，即苏。
产后有舌出不能收者，亦妄力所致，以朱砂末敷之，仍令作产子状，片刻自愈。旧
法∶窗户外潜堆盆盎，掷地使惊而舌入。此与烧漆器、咬头发之意，皆未尽善也。
孕时触损脏气，胞系裂断，忽然胎坠，名曰小产。亏败子宫，较大产为甚，宜倍加调
摄，大金丹、至宝丸服之，或芎归补中汤亦可。

生产这一过程，是天地自然的妙理，不需要刻意修炼。然而诗人赞美后稷“不坼不副”（分娩时没有撕裂损伤），没有灾祸伤害，那么除了后稷以外，确实存在导致母亲身体撕裂、遭受灾害的情况，保产的技术，怎么能不讲求呢？世风不如古代淳朴，胎教早已废弃，做母亲的既不能在平时保养好身体，身体安逸则气血凝滞，供养过于丰厚则脂膜肥满，嗜欲过多则胎衣厚而难破。不幸遇到这种情况，急忙用回生丹治疗。
郑兰皋说：嗜欲这一端危害最重。怀孕前三个月触犯，会动摇胎气导致小产；怀孕三个月后触犯，会使孩子寿命不长，务必谨慎再谨慎。又说：婴儿出生时，身上有很多白点，或者两脚粉白如枯骨，或者痘标干涸焦紫，都是这个原因造成的。又说：饮食最忌讳吃烤制的辣椒花椒等辛辣食物，以及驴马狗兔肉、蟹鳖鱼类、河豚菌子、野雀、薏苡、茨菰之类的东西。古人有吃兔子导致婴儿缺唇，吃鳖导致婴儿短颈，吃鳖导致横位分娩，吃鱼导致婴儿生疮等说法，验证起来确实如此。
史指臣说：世俗迷信师巫邪说，想要转女为男，妄自使用针灸，或者吞服符水，或者用麝香膏药贴脐部，带来的危害不小。年轻妇女初次生产，神气怯弱，子户（子宫）未舒展。中年妇女，生育次数多，血气亏损，这两种情况都需要常服大金丹至宝丸来调理。
怀孕六七月，或八九月，偶尔稍微弯曲身体，胎儿忽然乱动，两三日间，有时痛有时止，或者有羊水流出，只有腰部不太痛，胎儿未脱离经络，名叫弄产。又有临产前一个月，忽然腰痛，却不生产，这是转胎，名叫试月。无论有无胎水都不妨碍，只要挺直身体坐卧行立，就没事。又有伸手高处取物，忽然胎儿在腹中鸣叫，只要让产妇鞠躬片刻即可痊愈。
临产阵痛，有的持续二三天，有的持续五七天，气候（产期）未到，必须听任其随意坐卧，不得立刻让人扶着坐起用力，以免因忧虑疑惑导致气馁，根据虚实情况斟酌用药。（可用大金丹、回生丹、达生散、便产神方）
临产有七种征兆：脐腹部急痛，腰间沉重下坠感，眼中如火出，肛门紧迫，产门肿胀满胀，手中指筋脉跳动，胞水或血液同时下行，这才是胎儿要出生的时候，产母才可以开始用力。如果上述症状不具备，即使过了一两天，也切不可强行使力挣扎。又有胞水已下，儿头已到产门，但三四天仍不出来的，也只有调理饮食等待，服用大金丹以壮气血。
临产时饮食减少，就必须常服独参汤调理，不可使精力衰乏。如果交骨（耻骨联合）不开，是气血不能运达，需要补中益气，服用加味穹归汤。
临产时惊觉太早，血先下而胎元干涸，僵死在腹中，只看产母的面色和舌苔。面青表示母体受伤，舌青表示胎儿受伤，面舌都青，母子都难以保全。下死胎，也不必惊慌用力，服用回生丹至三丸，死胎自然落下。若一时未能准备好，用平胃散一两，加入朴硝五钱，煎煮三五沸后温服，死胎即化为水排出，切忌用力，以免惊吓伤害产母。
产时胎儿有出户的态势，转身侧位稍慢，母体一用力，手或足就会横生倒生。又有生路不正，儿头遍拄左右腿畔，名叫偏产。又有偏拄谷道（肛门），名叫枨后。凡此情况，宜急忙扶产妇上床，正身仰卧，用厚被子覆盖，服用便产汤（临产前预先煎好），须臾间提起上身，重新调整姿势，儿头正对产门了，急忙扶持即可生出。
程克庵说：俗话称手先出来为“觅盐”，因为手得到盐会蜷缩。吴子通说：不论手足先出，急忙用针尖微刺手足心内，大约深半毫米许，用盐、醋、泥三味，调匀涂之，轻轻送入，产时门户端正，儿头已露顶而不下来，这是转身时脐带绊住了肩膀，扶母仰卧，轻轻推儿向上，用手指轻按儿肩，解开脐带，然后用力送下。
胎衣来得迟，是气虚弱，服用大金丹。如果血流入衣内，胀闷疼痛，宜速服回生丹二三丸，或用牛膝汤送下。捷法是用滚水磨好陈墨，冲服即可下。或者让熟练稳婆，用手顺着脐带而上，轻轻按压衣血，从容等待胎衣下来也可以。有用蓖麻子贴足心，及令产妇含头发引发呕吐的，非常不是良法，务必戒除。
产时用力太早，水衣先破，用鱼胶烧过存性，擂细冲酒服。又有水衣破时，被风吹到，产户肿胀，干涩狭小的，也从容等待。又有稳婆蓄意害人，私底下用手指掐破水衣，必须要防护。
产时肠子先盘出，用干净的盆盛温水，少入香油养润，待儿和胞衣下来时，母略仰卧，自己吸气上升，稳婆香油涂手，徐徐送入。或者用阴阳家用过的磁石煎汤服，也能收回去。或者浓煎黄柏汤浸洗，配合补中益气汤服用，更是妙法。又有儿和胞衣下来后，膀胱坠出产门的，用前面的方法送入。如果稳婆不谨慎，把膀胱扯破的，服用八珍汤加猪胞三钱，可以恢复。
汪宁斋说：盘肠是因为中气不足，如果是初胎出现这种情况，下次怀孕时多在五六个月时发生，服用补中升提的药剂，分娩自然没有这种祸患。
产毕产门不闭合，是气血虚，加味芎归汤、十全大补汤，都可以服用。如果是因为胎大，擦伤产门的，用蕲艾、益母草煎汤清洗。
产后血晕，不省人事，用韭菜细切，装入有嘴瓶内，煎滚醋浇在上面，封扎瓶口，刺两个小窍，扶产妇坐定，以瓶窍对着鼻孔熏蒸，令醋气透入，一会儿自然苏醒。或者进服大金丹、清魂散，也没有不有效的。以前有烧旧漆器的方法，不宜使用。因为血气未回，秽气接触必生他病，怎么可以妄加施用如此呢。
方公度说：败血逆上攻心，满急垂危的，用生姜二十片，盐半斤炒热布包熨烫，血下而愈。或者韭菜同炒也很妙。又有败血入肺作喘的，用人参、苏木等分，煎服自愈。
产后百脉空虚，洗拭太早，导致中风口噤，手足搐搦，角弓反张，或者因为怒气，发热迷闷，用荆芥穗微焙，当归酒洗各二钱，水盅半，童便黄酒各半盅，煎至七分灌服。牙关紧，用簪子撬开，或者口对口灌服，同时捻其鼻子，用手摩其喉，使得药液下咽，即苏醒。
产后有舌头伸出不能收回的，也是妄力所致，用朱砂末敷之，仍令其做出产子的姿势，片刻自愈。旧法：在窗户外面偷偷堆盆盎，扔在地上使其受惊而舌头收回。这与烧漆器、咬头发的意思一样，都未尽善尽美。
孕期触损脏气，胞系裂断，忽然胎坠，名叫小产。亏败子宫，比大产更严重，宜加倍调养摄护，服用大金丹、至宝丸，或者芎归补中汤也可以。

The process of childbirth is a wonderful principle of nature, requiring no artificial cultivation. However, poets praised Hou Ji for delivering without tearing or splitting (uninjured delivery), free from disaster and harm; thus, apart from Hou Ji, there indeed exist cases where mothers suffer tearing and disasters. Therefore, how can the techniques for protecting childbirth be neglected? The customs are not as ancient and pure as before, prenatal education has long been abandoned. Mothers fail to preserve their health in daily life; physical ease leads to stagnation of Qi and blood, excessive nourishment results in thickened adipose tissue, and excessive desires cause the fetal membrane to become thick and difficult to rupture. If unfortunate circumstances arise, one should urgently treat with Huisheng Dan (Revive Life Pill).
Zheng Langao said: Among these factors, excessive desires cause the heaviest harm. If violated within the first three months of pregnancy, it can disturb the fetus and cause miscarriage; if violated after three months, it shortens the child's lifespan. One must be extremely cautious. He also stated: When the infant is born, many white spots on the body, or feet that are pink-white like dry bones, or dried, scorched, and purple acne marks, are all due to this reason. He further stated: Diet most strictly forbids roasted peppers and spicy foods, as well as meat from donkeys, horses, dogs, rabbits, crab, turtle, fish, pufferfish, mushrooms, wild sparrows, coix seed, and arrowhead. Ancient people had theories that eating rabbit meat causes cleft lip in infants, eating turtle meat causes short necks, eating turtle meat causes transverse presentation, and eating fish causes skin sores in infants; verification proves these to be true.
Shi Zhichen said: Secular beliefs in shamanistic heresies, attempting to change a female fetus to male, involve reckless use of acupuncture, swallowing talisman water, or applying musk plasters to the navel, causing significant harm. Young women giving birth for the first time have weak Shen (Spirit) and Qi, and their Zi Hu (uterus) is not yet relaxed. Middle-aged women, having given birth many times, suffer from blood and Qi deficiency. Both groups require regular intake of Dajindan Zhibao Wan (Great Golden Treasure Pill) for regulation.
During the sixth or seventh month, or eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, if one occasionally bends slightly and the fetus suddenly moves restlessly, with pain coming and going over two or three days, or with amniotic fluid leakage but only mild lower back pain, and the fetus has not detached from its meridian path, this is called "Nong Chan" (Playing Labor). Another condition occurs one month before delivery, with sudden lower back pain but no labor, known as "Zhuan Tai" (Turning Fetus) or "Shi Yue" (Testing Month). Whether amniotic fluid is present or not does not matter; simply keeping the body straight while sitting, lying, walking, or standing resolves the issue. Reaching high places may cause the fetus to cry in the womb; bending forward for a moment suffices for recovery.
During labor contractions, which may last two to three days or five to seven days, if the timing is not right, allow the mother to sit or lie as she wishes. Do not immediately force her to sit up and push, as worry and doubt deplete Qi. Prescribe pills or powders based on excess or deficiency patterns. (Options include Dajindan, Huisheng Dan, Dasheng San, Bianchan Shenfang).
There are seven signs of impending labor: urgent pain in the umbilical and abdominal area, heavy bearing down sensation in the waist, sensation of fire in the eyes, urgency in the anus, swelling of the vaginal opening, pulsation of the tendon in the middle finger, and simultaneous discharge of amniotic fluid or blood. Only when these symptoms are fully present should the mother exert effort. If these symptoms are incomplete, even after one or two days, do not force pushing. If amniotic fluid has discharged and the head is at the vaginal opening but delivery does not occur after three or four days, regulate diet and administer Dajindan to strengthen Qi and Blood.
During labor, if food intake decreases, regularly take Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) for regulation; do not let vitality decline. If the Jiao Gu (pubic symphysis) fails to open, it is due to Qi and Blood failing to circulate; tonify the Middle and benefit Qi, administering Jiawei Qiong Gui Tang.
If alarm occurs too early during labor, blood discharges first, drying up the fetal Yuan, leading to a stiff, dead fetus in the abdomen. Observe the mother's face and tongue: blue face indicates maternal injury, blue tongue indicates fetal injury, both blue means both mother and fetus are hard to save. To expel a dead fetus, do not panic and push; administer Huisheng Dan (up to three pills) for immediate expulsion. If unavailable, mix Pingwei San (one tael) with Poxiao (five qian), boil briefly, and take warm; the fetus will liquefy and exit. Avoid forceful pushing to prevent shocking the mother.
When the fetus shows signs of exiting but turns slowly, maternal force may cause hands or feet to present transversely or inversely. If the birth canal is misaligned, with the head pressing against the left or right leg, it is called "Pian Chan" (Lateral Presentation). If pressing against the anus, it is called "Cheng Hou". In such cases, quickly help the mother onto the bed, lie flat on her back, cover with thick quilts, and administer Bianchan Tang (prepared beforehand). Lift her upper body slightly, reposition, align the head with the vaginal opening, and assist immediately for delivery.
Cheng Ke'an said: Common belief calls hand-first presentation "Seeking Salt," because hands curl upon touching salt. Wu Zitong said: Regardless of hand or foot presenting, quickly prick the palm or sole with a needle tip (approx. half a millimeter deep), apply a mixture of salt, vinegar, and mud, and gently guide the limb back. If the head presents but does not descend during turning, the umbilical cord may be around the shoulder. Help the mother lie on her back, gently push the fetus upward, press the shoulder to release the cord, then assist delivery.
Delayed placenta indicates weak Qi; administer Dajindan. If blood enters the placenta causing distension and pain, quickly administer Huisheng Dan (two to three pills) or use Niuxi Tang. A quick method is grinding aged ink in boiling water and taking it orally. Alternatively, an experienced midwife may trace the umbilical cord upwards, gently press the placental blood, and wait calmly for expulsion. Methods like applying castor beans to the sole or inducing vomiting by holding hair are unorthodox and must be avoided.
Pushing too early ruptures the membranes. Burn Yu Jiao (Fish Maw) until charred but retaining properties, grind fine, and take with wine. If wind blows into the ruptured membranes causing swelling and dryness of the vagina, wait calmly. Beware of malicious midwives intentionally rupturing membranes; take precautions.
If intestines prolapse during labor, fill a clean basin with warm water and a little sesame oil for lubrication. When the fetus and placenta emerge, have the mother lie back slightly, inhale deeply to lift internally. The midwife, with oiled hands, slowly returns the intestines. Alternatively, consume decoction of magnetite used by Feng Shui practitioners, or soak in concentrated Huang Bo (Phellodendron) decoction combined with Buzhong Yiqi Tang. If the bladder prolapses after delivery, use the same reduction method. If the midwife ruptures the bladder, take Bazhen Tang with three qian of pig bladder to restore function.
Wang Ningzhai said: Intestinal prolapse is due to insufficient Middle Qi. If seen in the first pregnancy, it often occurs in the fifth or sixth month of subsequent pregnancies; administer lifting and ascending formulas to prevent this during delivery.
Failure of the vaginal opening to close postpartum indicates Qi and Blood deficiency; Jiawei Xiong Gui Tang or Shiquan Dabu Tang are suitable. If caused by friction from a large fetus, wash with decoction of Qi Ai (Artemisia argyi) and Yi Mu Cao (Leonurus japonicus).
Postpartum blood syncope with unconsciousness: Finely chop fresh chives, place in a spouted bottle, pour boiling vinegar over it, seal tightly, poke two small holes. Have the mother sit securely and熏 (fumigate) the nostrils with the bottle opening until the vinegar vapor penetrates, restoring consciousness. Alternatively, administer Dajindan or Qinghun San. Burning old lacquerware is contraindicated; returning Qi and Blood makes one susceptible to filth-induced diseases.
Fang Gongdu said: For rebellious blood attacking the heart causing fullness and critical condition, fry twenty slices of fresh ginger with half a jin of salt, wrap in cloth, and apply as a hot compress. Blood descends and the patient recovers. Adding chives is also effective. For rebellious blood entering the lungs causing asthma, equal parts of Renshen (Ginseng) and Sumu (Sappan Wood) decocted and taken orally cure the condition.
Postpartum, all meridians are empty. Early washing may cause facial paralysis, locked jaw, convulsions, and opisthotonos. Or, anger may cause fever and confusion. Roast Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta) slightly, wash Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) with wine (each two qian), add half a cup of water, half a cup of Tongbian (child's urine), and half a cup of yellow wine. Decoct to七分 (70%), and administer. If the jaw is locked, pry open with a hairpin, or mouth-to-mouth feed while pinching the nose and massaging the throat to facilitate swallowing, restoring consciousness.
Postpartum tongue protrusion unable to retract is caused by excessive force. Apply Zhusha (Cinnabar) powder and simulate the birthing posture; it will retract spontaneously. Old methods like startling the patient by dropping pots outside the window, burning lacquerware, or biting hair are imperfect.
Trauma to Zang-Fu Qi during pregnancy causing rupture of the uterine ligaments leads to sudden fetal expulsion, called "Xiao Chan" (Miscarriage). This damages the uterus more severely than term delivery; double care and regulation are needed. Administer Dajindan, Zhibao Wan, or Xiong Gui Buzhong Tang.

Before delivery, take one pill with Dushen Tang to strengthen Qi, nourish fetus, yin, ensure smooth delivery, harmonize Five Zang, and balance Yin-Yang. Most miraculous.
For virgins with amenorrhea or irregular menstruation, take with plain water; excellent effect.
This Dan clears and benefits Zang Qi faster than Dajindan. However, for routine use, prioritize Zhibao Wan, using Huisheng Dan later, and Dajindan intermittently. Together they complement each other's wonders. Since obstetrics began, no such perfect treasure has been seen. I wish those with means in the world would sincerely prepare this widely to save beings; Heaven will surely not disappoint.
