肺热导致胀满，邪气攻冲胸膈，就会形成龟胸。另外，乳母如果过多食用五辛（葱、蒜、韭、薤、兴渠等辛辣刺激性食物），也会导致此病。婴儿出生后感受外来的风邪，风邪侵入脊柱，随经络逐入骨髓，从而形成龟背。
肾热传变至膀胱，膀胱热盛，热气上逆影响脾胃。脾胃虚弱而不能制约肾水，导致水反克土（脾属土，肾属水），脾气随肾水下行。脾主四肢，肺被心火克制，所以出现气喘。有人问：心火刑克肺金，肺本已虚弱，现在为何表现为喘促实证？回答说：这有两种情况，一是肺气大喘，这是五脏气机逆乱；二是肾中水气上行，旁浸于肺，所以导致严重气喘。这些情况都难以治疗。
肝病在秋季显现，此时木旺而肝强，胜过了肺金，应当补肺泻肝。轻症则肝病消退，重症则嘴唇发白而死。
肺病在春季显现，此时金旺而肺胜肝木，应当泻肺。轻症则肺病消退，重症则眼睛淡青色，必定引发惊风。如果有面色赤红的，应当进行搐引治疗，这是因为肝气怯弱，原本应见目淡青色。
心病在冬季显现，此时火旺而心强，胜过了肾水，应当补肾并治疗心脏。轻症则病退，重症则身体向下窜动且不能言语，这是肾虚怯的表现。
肾病在夏季显现，此时水胜火，肾胜心，应当治疗肾脏。轻症则病退，重症则心悸动并作抽搐。
脾病在四季的其他月份显现，治疗原则都仿照上述方法。顺证容易治疗，逆证难治。脾虚怯弱的面部特征是面赤黄，五脏气色相反时，需根据具体证候进行治疗。
眼睛红兼有青色，是即将发生抽搐的征兆。
眼睛直视且青色，身体向后反折强直，是产生惊风的征兆。
咬牙严重的，是发作惊风。
口中吐出泡沫水的，后来必定会有虫痛。
昏睡且喜欢打喷嚏、心悸的，将要发作疮疹。
吐泻、昏睡且眼睛半开不闭（露睛）的，是胃虚热。
吐泻、昏睡且眼睛紧闭不露睛的，是胃实热。
吐泻且乳汁不消化，是伤食所致。应当使用下法（泻下）。
吐出泡沫及痰液，颜色或白或绿，都是胃虚冷。
吐出稠厚涎沫及血液，都是肺热，时间久了会导致虚损。
大便黄色、红色、赤色、黑色都属于热证，赤色也代表有毒。
大便青色白色，谷食不化，是胃冷。
身体发热但不想喝水的，热邪在体表；身体发热且想喝水的，热邪在体内。
口噤不止则会失音。声音迟缓也同样。
长大之后不能行走，能行走时脚细无力。
牙齿很久不生，生出来也不坚固。
头发很久不长，长出来也不黑。
血虚怯弱被寒邪乘袭，则嘴唇发青。
尿液深黄色，时间久了会尿血。
小便不通畅，时间久了会腹胀满，应当通利小便。
洗浴后擦拭肚脐不干，风邪侵入导致生疮，使婴儿撮口，严重的，是脾虚。
吐出涎痰且属热证的，用下法；吐出涎痰且属冷证的，用温法。
先出脓疱，后出斑点的，为逆证。
先出脓疱，后出疹子的，为顺证。
先出水疱，后出疹子的，为逆证。
先出脓疱，后出水疱多的，为顺证；少的，为逆证。
先出水疱，后出斑点多的，为逆证；少的，为顺证。
先出疹子，后出斑点的，为顺证。
凡是疮疹只出一类形态的，预后良好。
胎气充实的面色红，眼珠黑睛多，大多喜欢笑。
胎气怯弱的面色黄，眼珠黑睛少，白睛多，大多爱哭。
凡是疾病先表现为虚证，或者需要下法治疗的，如果属于合下者，应先充实其母脏（如培土生金等），然后再使用下法。例如肺虚而痰实，这种可以下。应当先补益脾土，然后才泻肺。
大喜之后吃乳食，多形成惊痫。
大哭之后吃乳食，多形成吐泻。
心痛且吐水的，是虫痛。
心痛且不吐水的，是冷心痛。
吐水但不心痛的，是胃冷。
病情重，面色呈现五色无常且无光泽的，死证。
打哈欠且面赤的，是风热。
打哈欠且面青的，是惊风。
打哈欠且面黄的，是脾虚惊。
打哈欠且多睡的，是内热。
打哈欠且气息热的，是伤风。
热证经过疏利或解表化滞治疗后，如果没有虚证，不要使用温补，否则热邪必然随之而生。
Lung heat causes distension and fullness, attacking the chest and diaphragm, resulting in *Guixiong* (Tortoise Chest). Additionally, if the nursing mother consumes excessive amounts of "Five Pungents" (five pungent spices: garlic, chives, leeks, scallions, and asafoetida), this condition can also arise. After birth, an infant may contract external wind pathogens that enter the spine and penetrate into the bone marrow, leading to *Guibei* (Tortoise Back).
Kidney heat transmits to the Bladder; when Bladder heat is excessive, it rebels upward affecting the Spleen and Stomach. If the Spleen and Stomach are deficient and cannot control Kidney water, water counter-attacks Earth (Spleen). The Spleen Qi follows the downward movement of Water. Since the Spleen governs the four limbs and the Lung is controlled by Heart fire, wheezing occurs. One might ask: If Heart fire penalizes Lung metal, and the Lung is originally deficient, why does wheezing manifest as an excess syndrome? The answer is twofold: first, severe Lung wheezing indicates rebellion of the Five Zang organs; second, Kidney water qi ascends and infiltrates the Lung laterally, causing severe wheezing. These conditions are difficult to treat.
Liver disease appearing in Autumn: Wood is prosperous and the Liver is strong, overcoming Lung Metal. Treatment should tonify the Lung and drain the Liver. In mild cases, the Liver disease recedes; in severe cases, the lips turn white and death ensues.
Lung disease appearing in Spring: Metal is prosperous and the Lung overcomes Liver Wood. Treatment should drain the Lung. In mild cases, the Lung disease recedes; in severe cases, the eyes appear pale cyan, indicating impending *Jingfeng* (Convulsive Disease). If redness is present, pulling therapies (*Chou*) should be applied, as this indicates Liver deficiency, which typically presents with pale cyan eyes.
Heart disease appearing in Winter: Fire is prosperous and the Heart is strong, overcoming Kidney Water. Treatment should tonify the Kidney and address the Heart. In mild cases, the disease recedes; in severe cases, the body curls downward and speech is lost, indicating Kidney deficiency and weakness.
Kidney disease appearing in Summer: Water overcomes Fire, meaning the Kidney overcomes the Heart. Treatment should address the Kidney. In mild cases, the disease recedes; in severe cases, palpitations and convulsions occur.
Spleen disease appearing in the remaining seasons: Treat according to the above principles. Smooth patterns are easy to treat; inverted patterns are difficult. Spleen deficiency manifests as a reddish-yellow complexion. When the Five Zang colors are inverted, treat according to the specific syndrome.
Eyes red with cyan tint indicate impending convulsions.
Eyes staring straight with cyan color, and body arched backward and stiff, indicate *Jingfeng*.
Severe teeth grinding indicates onset of *Jingfeng*.
Spitting foam and saliva indicates subsequent worm pain.
Drowsiness with frequent sneezing and palpitations indicates impending *Chuangzhen* (Poisonous Rash/Smallpox/Measles).
Vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, and eyes half-open (exposing the pupil) indicate Stomach deficiency heat.
Vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, and eyes tightly closed indicate Stomach excess heat.
Vomiting/diarrhea with undigested milk indicates food stagnation. Use purgative methods.
Spitting foam and phlegm, white or green, indicates Stomach deficiency cold.
Spitting thick saliva and blood indicates Lung heat; prolonged duration leads to deficiency.
Stool yellow, red, crimson, or black all indicate heat; crimson also indicates toxicity.
Stool green or white with undigested food particles indicates Stomach cold.
Body heat without thirst indicates heat on the exterior; body heat with thirst indicates heat on the interior.
Inability to open the mouth (*Jin*) leads to loss of voice. Sluggish speech is similar.
Failure to walk upon growing up, or thin legs when walking.
Delayed tooth eruption or loose teeth after eruption.
Delayed hair growth or black hair failing to grow dark.
Blood deficiency and weakness allowing cold pathogens to invade result in cyan lips.
Deep yellow urine, if prolonged, leads to hematuria.
Urinary retention, if prolonged, leads to abdominal distension; promote urination.
Umbilicus not drying after bathing allows wind pathogens to enter, causing sores and *Cuekou* (Opisthotonos/Tetanus); severe cases indicate Spleen deficiency.
Spitting phlegm-saliva with heat signs: use purgatives. Spitting phlegm-saliva with cold signs: use warming methods.
Pustules appearing before macules is an inverted pattern.
Pustules appearing before papules/rash is a smooth pattern.
Vesicles appearing before papules/rash is an inverted pattern.
Pustules appearing before vesicles: many is smooth, few is inverted.
Vesicles appearing before macules: many is inverted, few is smooth.
Papules/rash appearing before macules is a smooth pattern.
If pox/rash presents in only one type, prognosis is good.
Fetal essence substantial: red face, large black pupils, frequent laughter.
Fetal essence deficient: yellow face, small black pupils, large white sclera, frequent crying.
For diseases initially presenting as deficiency, or requiring purgation: if the pattern requires purging, first tonify the "Mother" organ (e.g., tonify Spleen to support Lung), then purge. For example, Lung deficiency with Phlegm excess: first benefit the Spleen, then drain the Lung.
Excessive joy followed by feeding often leads to *Jingxian* (Convulsive Epilepsy).
Excessive crying followed by feeding often leads to vomiting and diarrhea.
Heart pain with spitting water indicates worm pain.
Heart pain without spitting water indicates Cold Heart Pain.
Spitting water without heart pain indicates Stomach cold.
Severe illness with five-colored facial changes lacking luster indicates death.
Yawning with red face indicates Wind-Heat.
Yawning with cyan face indicates Convulsive Wind.
Yawning with yellow face indicates Spleen deficiency with fright.
Yawning with drowsiness indicates internal heat.
Yawning with hot breath indicates Wind-Cold injury.
After treating heat syndromes with draining, releasing, or resolving methods, if no deficiency signs remain, do not use warming tonification, or heat will inevitably re-emerge.
