真人曰∶平明欲起时，下床先左脚，一日无灾着，去邪兼避恶。如能七星步，令人寿长乐。
清旦常言善事，闻恶事则向所来方三唾之吉。又旦勿嗔怒，暮无大醉，勿远行。

古籍记载：早晨出门时含服少许煨生姜，可以辟除瘴气、开胃。另外，清晨起床空腹时，不宜见到尸体；尸体的臭气吸入鼻中，会导致舌上生白苔并出现口臭。如果必须见到，宜用少量饮酒来化解。
真人说：黎明想要起床时，下床先迈左脚，这样一天都不会遭遇灾祸，既能驱邪又能避恶。如果能练习“七星步”，能让人长寿快乐。
清晨常讲善事，听到恶事则向来的方向吐三口唾沫以图吉利。另外，早晨不要发怒，晚上不要大醉，也不要远行。
医经说：清晨人气开始生发，中午阳气最旺盛，傍晚阳气已经虚弱，汗孔（气门）随之闭合。因此到了晚上应当收敛拒邪，不要扰动筋骨，不要接触雾露。违背这三个时辰的规律，身体就会困顿衰弱。
夜间行走用手梳理头发，精邪就不敢靠近。经常叩齿，可以杀灭鬼邪。另外，夜间睡觉时两足伸展屈曲不并拢，就不会做遗精的梦。真人说：夜里做了恶梦，不需要说出来。早晨面向东方对着水面咒语说：“恶梦附着在草木上，好梦变成珠玉”，这是吉利的。
有教导进入岭南地区的人说：早晨不可空腹，晚上不可吃得太饱。导致气候不适，不仅仅是在进入岭南地区时才会发生。
古籍记载：忽然看到光怪陆离、奇异反常的事物，强行抑制住不要感到奇怪，吉利。
伊芳川的官署里有很多妖异。有人报告说：“有鬼使打扇子。”回答说：“是因为太热了所以这样。”又有人报告说：“有鬼在打鼓。”回答说：“把鼓槌给它。”
范文正公（范仲淹）夜间读书坐着时，有一个大头怪物靠近他。范仲淹用笔在怪物脸上写字，说：“你的脸非常大，难以欺骗范仲淹。”这两位先生不把怪异之事当作怪异对待，怪异自然消失，值得效法。
用脂油点灯，人的元神不在血光之下。凡是刀刃所伤，千万不要喝水，以免血液不止而死。如果血流不止，急忙用布蘸热汤擦拭伤口，或用冷水浸泡，嚼碎紫苏叶止血，效果奇妙。
《琐碎录》记载：箫管挂在墙上，取下来时不要随便吹奏，恐怕里面有蜈蚣。祖师刘福真奉召赴任，早起看见店妇躺在地上号叫，景象可怕，只看见旁边有吹火的箫，刘福真知道是蜈蚣进入了妇人腹中。刺猪血灌入她口中，吐出蜈蚣后痊愈。
凡是古井及深坑中多有毒瓦斯，不可轻易进入。尤其是六月最为严重。先投入鹅鸭毛试探，如果羽毛旋转不下沉，说明有毒，便不可进入。又说：山中有孔穴，采宝者只在二月和九月去，其余月份山中闭气交变，进去会死。
Ancient texts record: When going out in the morning, holding a small amount of baked *Zingiberis Rhizoma* (Baked Ginger) in the mouth can dispel miasma and stimulate appetite. Furthermore, upon waking up on an empty stomach in the morning, one should not see corpses; inhaling the odor of a corpse into the nose will cause white coating on the tongue and halitosis. If one must see it, it is advisable to drink a little wine to mitigate the effect.
The True Man says: When wishing to rise at dawn, step out of bed with the left foot first; this ensures no disaster for the day, expelling evil and avoiding malignancy. If one can practice the "Seven Star Steps," it enables longevity and joy.
In the early morning, often speak of good deeds; upon hearing bad news, spit three times towards the direction from which it came for good luck. Additionally, do not rage in the morning, do not get heavily drunk at night, and do not travel far.
Medical classics state: At dawn, human Qi begins to generate; at noon, Yang Qi is at its peak; in the evening, Yang Qi has already weakened, and the Qi gates (pores) close. Therefore, at night, one should gather and repel evil, without disturbing the sinews and bones, and without exposure to fog and dew. Violating the rhythms of these three times leads to physical exhaustion and debility.
Walking at night while stroking one's hair prevents essence-evil from approaching. Frequently clicking the teeth kills ghostly evils. Additionally, when sleeping at night, if the two feet are extended and bent without being parallel, one will not have nocturnal emissions. The True Man says: If one has a nightmare, there is no need to speak of it. In the morning, face east towards water and chant: "Nightmares attach to grass and trees, good dreams become pearls and jade." This is auspicious.
There is advice for those entering Guangling (Lingnan region): One should not go to bed hungry in the morning, nor overly full in the evening. This applies to climate imbalance, not only when entering Guangling.
Ancient texts record: If one suddenly sees bizarre or anomalous phenomena, strongly suppress any sense of strangeness; this is auspicious.
The official residence of Yifangchuan was full of demons. Someone reported: "A ghost messenger is fanning." The reply was: "It is because it is hot, hence the action." Another reported: "A ghost is beating a drum." The reply was: "Give him the drumstick."
Fan Wenzheng Gong (Fan Zhongyan), while reading and sitting at night, had a large-headed monster approach him. Fan wrote on the monster's face with a brush, saying: "Your face is very large, difficult to deceive Fan Zhongyan." These two gentlemen did not treat the strange as strange, and the strangeness vanished naturally; this is worthy of emulation.
Using animal fat to light a lamp means the human spirit is not under the blood-light. For any wound caused by a blade, one must absolutely not drink water, lest the bleeding ceaselessly lead to death. If bleeding does not stop, urgently wipe the wound with cloth dipped in hot water, or soak it in cold water; chewing *Perillae Folium* (Perilla Leaf) to stop bleeding is miraculous.
*Suo Sui Lu* records: When taking down a flute hanging on the wall, do not blow into it casually, for fear of centipedes. Patriarch Liu Fuzhen, upon receiving a summons, saw a shopkeeper lying on the ground wailing in terror upon waking early. He noticed a blowing-flute nearby and knew a centipede had entered her abdomen. He pierced a pig, poured its blood into her mouth, and she vomited out the centipede and recovered.
Ancient wells and deep pits often contain toxic gases and should not be entered lightly. This is especially severe in the sixth month. First, drop goose or duck feathers to test; if they spin but do not sink, it indicates toxicity, and entry is forbidden. It is also said: Mountains have caves; treasure collectors should only enter in the second and ninth months. In other months, the mountain's Qi closes and changes, leading to death.
