凡受胎后,切不可打人骂人。盖气调则胎安,气逆则胎病。恼怒则痞塞不顺,肝气上冲则呕吐、衄血、脾
肺受伤。肝气下注则血崩带下,滑胎小产。欲生好子者,必须先养其气,气得其养,则生子性情和顺,有孝友
之心,无乖戾之习。所谓和气致祥,合家吉庆,无不由胎教得之。
受孕之后,衣无太暖,暖则窍开,易招风寒。食无太饱,饱则伤神,有碍胎产。饮无太醉,醉则乱性,
子必淫暴,且酒散百脉,致成诸疾。凡一切药物,勿用酒煎为要,勿妄服汤药,勿妄用针灸。勿过劳力,勿多
睡卧,须时时行步。勿登高厕,勿入产妇房,勿到丧亡家,勿进热闹场,勿登高涉险,恐倾跌有损。勿举手
向高取物,恐伤胎而子鸣腹中。勿看宰杀凶恶之事,勿看修造立木动土,勿看戏及鬼怪形象异物,看则必惊,
子必癫痫。又勿多洗浴,洗浴过多,毛窍顿开,易受风寒,尤易堕胎。凡初受胎及临月,尤宜禁戒。经云∶刀
犯者形必伤,泥犯者窍必塞,打击者色青黑,系缚者相拘挛,甚至母殒,验若反掌,可不戒哉?
胎之肥瘦,气通于母,恣食浓味,多致胎肥难产,故孕妇调摄饮食,宜淡泊不宜浓浓,宜清虚不宜重浊,
宜和平不宜寒热。但富贵之家,肥甘悦口,抑令从俭简素势必不能。酌其所宜开列于后∶
莲子 芡实 松子 熟藕 山药 鲫鱼 鸭 鲈鱼 鳗鱼 纸鱼 海参 淡菜 猪肚 笋 鲞鱼 麻油(解毒) 腐
皮(滑胎),
此二味临月尤宜多服。
凡是受孕之后,绝对不可以打人骂人。因为气机调和则胎儿安稳,气机上逆则导致胎病。恼怒会导致气机痞塞不畅,肝气上冲则会引发呕吐、鼻出血,并损伤脾肺。肝气下注则会导致血崩、带下病,甚至滑胎或小产。想要生出好孩子的母亲,必须先修养自己的气,气得到调养,生下的孩子性情就会和顺,具备孝顺友爱之心,没有乖张暴戾的习气。所谓和气带来吉祥,全家喜庆,无不源于胎教的作用。
受孕之后,衣着不要过于保暖,太暖则毛孔张开,容易招致风寒。饮食不要过饱,过饱则伤神,妨碍胎产。饮酒不要大醉,大醉则扰乱本性,孩子必定淫乱暴躁,而且酒会散乱全身血脉,导致各种疾病。凡是一切药物,切记不要用酒煎煮,不要随意服用汤药,不要随意使用针灸。不要过度劳累用力,也不要过多卧床睡觉,必须经常散步。不要登上高处厕所,不要进入产妇房间,不要去丧事人家,不要进入热闹场所,不要登高涉险,恐怕跌倒造成损伤。不要举手向高处取物,恐怕伤害胎儿,使孩子在腹中啼哭。不要观看宰杀牲畜或凶恶的事情,不要观看修建房屋立木动土的工程,不要看戏曲及鬼怪形象等异物,看了必定受惊,孩子必定患癫痫。另外不要频繁洗浴,洗浴过多,毛孔突然张开,容易受风寒,尤其容易导致堕胎。凡是刚受孕及临近预产期,尤其应当禁戒。经书说:刀器所伤者形体必受损,泥土所伤者窍道必闭塞,打击所伤者面色青黑,捆绑所伤者肢体拘挛,甚至导致母亲死亡,验证起来易如反掌,怎能不警惕呢?
胎儿的肥瘦,与母体之气相通,放纵食用浓味食物,多导致胎儿肥胖难产,所以孕妇调理饮食,宜清淡不宜浓厚,宜清虚不宜重浊,宜平和不宜寒热。但是富贵人家,肥甘美味悦口,强行让他们从俭简素势必做不到。斟酌其适宜者开列如下:
莲子 芡实 松子 熟藕 山药 鲫鱼 鸭 鲈鱼 鳗鱼 纸鱼 海参 淡菜 猪肚 笋 鲞鱼 麻油(解毒) 腐皮(滑胎),
这两味在临月时尤其应当多服。
After conception, one must absolutely refrain from hitting or scolding others. This is because when the Qi (vital energy) is harmonious, the fetus remains secure; when Qi rebels upward, fetal pathology occurs. Anger causes Qi stagnation and obstruction. If Liver Qi (Liver Qi) surges upward, it leads to vomiting and epistaxis (nosebleed), damaging the Spleen (Spleen) and Lung (Lung). If Liver Qi sinks downward, it results in metrorrhagia (uterine bleeding), leukorrhea (vaginal discharge), spontaneous abortion, or premature birth. Those who wish to bear good children must first nourish their Qi. When Qi is properly nourished, the child’s disposition will be gentle and compliant, possessing filial piety and fraternal duty, without eccentric or violent habits. As the saying goes, "Harmonious Qi brings auspiciousness," leading to family joy, all of which stems from prenatal education (Taijiao).
After conception, clothing should not be too warm; excessive warmth opens the pores (Qi-kai), making one susceptible to Wind-Cold (Wind-Cold pathogen). Food intake should not be excessive; overeating damages Shen (Spirit/Mind) and hinders fetal development and delivery. Alcohol consumption should not lead to intoxication; drunkenness disrupts nature, potentially causing the child to be licentious and violent. Moreover, alcohol disperses the blood vessels throughout the body, leading to various diseases. Regarding all medicinal herbs, it is crucial not to decoct them with wine. Do not casually take herbal decoctions or undergo acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. Avoid excessive physical labor and do not lie in bed too much; one must walk frequently. Do not climb to high toilets, enter rooms of women in labor, visit mourning households, or go to crowded, noisy places. Avoid climbing heights or traversing dangerous terrain for fear of falling and injury. Do not reach up high to fetch objects, as this may injure the fetus, causing the child to cry within the abdomen. Do not watch scenes of slaughter or vicious acts, nor construction work involving breaking ground or erecting wood. Do not view operas or images of ghosts and monsters; viewing these will cause fright, potentially leading to epilepsy (Epilepsy) in the child. Furthermore, avoid frequent bathing; excessive bathing suddenly opens the pores, inviting Wind-Cold and increasing the risk of miscarriage. These prohibitions are especially critical during early conception and near term. The Classics state: "Injury by blades damages the form; injury by mud blocks the orifices; injury by beating turns the complexion dark blue/black; binding causes limb contracture." In severe cases, it can even result in maternal death. Verification of these effects is as easy as turning a hand; how can one fail to be vigilant?
The fatness or thinness of the fetus is connected to the mother's Qi. Indulging in rich and strong-flavored foods often leads to a large fetus and difficult labor. Therefore, pregnant women should regulate their diet to be light rather than heavy, clear and void rather than turbid, and balanced rather than excessively cold or hot. However, wealthy families enjoy rich and sweet foods, and forcing them to live frugally is practically impossible. The following suitable items are listed after consideration:
Lotus seeds (Nelumbinis Semen), Gorgon fruit (Euryales Semen), Pine nuts (Pinii Semen), Cooked lotus root (Nelumbinis Rhizoma), Chinese yam (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Crucian carp (Carassii Auratus), Duck (Anseris Carcass), Perch (Lateolabracis Carnis), Eel (Monopteri Carnis), Paper fish (likely referring to a specific type of dried fish or jellyfish, contextually kept as 'Paper Fish'), Sea cucumber (Stichopodis), Dried mussels (Mytili Concha), Pork stomach (Sus Ventriculus), Bamboo shoots (Bambusae Shoots), Salted dried fish (Gadidae Salso-Siccus), Sesame oil (Sesami Oleum - detoxifies), Tofu skin (Fasciae Sojae Praeparata - induces labor/moves fetus).
These two items [Tofu skin and Sesame oil, or specifically Tofu skin given the context of 'slippery fetus'] should be taken in larger quantities near term.
