小儿推法，必是线形，毋得斜曲，恐动别经而招患也。
涂蔚生说：陈紫山以上各节，多有会解之处。我虽极力领会，恐仍有不能合其本意者。然而以词意所在，又不能不为牵强下去。尚希海内名家，随时校正，是所至祷。查其所以错误之点，多系传写之讹，在出版者，既系贪图节省工费，罔顾誊写之优劣。而著作者，又属忘去自己心血，不计刷印之精疵，孰知一误再误，伊于胡底。错误纵可延长，权力纵可抛弃，婴儿岂可长为误治，任其夭折乎？余不辞血汗之劳。谨为审正，以公于世，虽是否有当，未敢断定，而我之一片婆心，当亦为天下所共谅耳。
Infants with head sores should be treated by pushing the Three Gates (San Guan, a line on the radial side of the forearm), pushing the Lung Meridian (Fei Jing, the lunula surface of the ring finger's distal phalanx), dividing Yin and Yang (Fen Yin Yang, the areas on both sides of the posterior wrist high bone), pushing Spleen Earth (Tui Pi Tu, the radial edge of the thumb or rotating the thumb tip), rubbing Taiyang acupoint (Taiyang, located in the depression about one horizontal finger width behind the intersection of the lateral end of the eyebrow and the outer canthus), and rubbing Yangchi acupoint (Yangchi, the midpoint of the dorsal wrist crease).
For infants with oral ulcers, treatment should involve retreating the Six Fu organs (Tui Liu Fu, a line on the ulnar side of the forearm from elbow to wrist), dividing Yin and Yang, retrieving the Bright Moon (Lao Mingyue, straight pushing up from Dazhui to the umbilicus, considered tonification), clearing the River Water (Qing Tianhe Shui, straight pushing up the midline of the anterior forearm from wrist to elbow), tonifying Kidney Water (Bu Shen Shui, rotating the lunula surface of the little finger), and Phoenix Spreading Single Wings (Fenghuang Dan Zhanchi, a variation of Eight Trigrams manipulation).
For infantile hernia (Pian Zhui), treatment should include pushing the Three Gates, pushing the Kidney Meridian (pushing the lunula surface of the little finger), rubbing Banmen acupoint (Banmen, the thenar eminence plane), dividing Yin and Yang, circulating the Eight Trigrams, beating the Horse across the River Water (Da Ma Guo Tianhe, pushing from Zongjin to Quze along the River Water while blowing air), pressing Sanjiao Jiao acupoint (Sanyinjiao, 3 cun above the medial malleolus posterior to the tibia), Chengshan acupoint (Chengshan, at the apex of the depression between the two bellies of the gastrocnemius muscle), and externally applying a mugwort wool pouch to the affected area, which is very effective for retracting the testicles.
Tu Weisheng stated: Sanjiao Jiao is located three cun above the tip of the medial malleolus; it is the convergence point of the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.
For infants with pus flowing from beside the ear, treatment should involve: pushing the Three Gates, retreating the Six Fu organs, pushing Spleen Earth, rubbing the earlobe, and applying the aforementioned tonification and sedation methods. If urine is yellow and red, heat can be cleared by tonifying Kidney Water. (Pushing from the tip of the little finger towards the root is considered clearing.) Press Erren Shangma acupoint (Erren Shangma, the depression between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones on the dorsum of the hand) and circulate Water into Earth (Yun Shui Ru Tu, pushing from the root of the little finger through the palm to the root of the thumb). If both stool and urine are blocked, dividing Yin and Yang should be the primary method.
For infants whose eyebrows and eyes cannot open, treatment should involve pressing Yangchi acupoint (rubbing and pressing for a long time). Then push the Four Horizontal Lines (Si Heng Wen, the transverse creases on the palmar aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers).
Infants with thirst and dry throat suffer from Qi deficiency and fire agitation; clearing the River Water is the primary treatment.
For infants with cold extremities, pushing the Three Gates and tonifying Kidney Earth (rotating the thumb tip) is the primary treatment.
Infants who are mute and unable to speak suffer from phlegm confusing the Heart orifices; clearing the Lung Meridian (straight pushing from fingertip to root of the ring finger) is the primary treatment.
Infants whose hands cannot flex or extend suffer from Wind pathogen invasion; rubbing Weiling acupoint (Weiling, the depression between the middle and ring finger metacarpals on the dorsum of the hand) is indicated. Infants with weak limbs suffer from Qi and Blood deficiency; tonifying Kidney Earth and pressing the limb transverse lines (Four Horizontal Lines) is indicated. Infants with clenched fists suffer from Heat in the Heart Meridian; urgently press Shuidi Lao Mingyue (straight pushing from fingertip to root of the little finger) and circulate the Eight Trigrams.
For infants with headaches, rub the navel, Yangchi acupoint, and Wailaogong acupoint (Wailaogong, the center of the dorsum of the hand, opposite Neilaogong). If the head tilts to one side, tonifying Spleen Earth and circulating the Eight Trigrams is the primary treatment.
For infants suffering from Wind syndrome with loss of consciousness, moxa Shangxing acupoint (Shangxing, 1 cun directly above the anterior hairline), Yongquan acupoint (Yongquan, the depression in the anterior part of the sole), and Shaoshang acupoint (Shaoshang, 0.1 cun lateral to the radial corner of the thumbnail).
For infants with fever and upward-gazing eyes, sedate the Heart Meridian (straight pushing from fingertip to root of the middle finger), press Zhongheng acupoint (Zhongheng, the midpoint of the palm) and Hengmen acupoint (Hengmen, the midpoint of the palmar crease), stopping only when the eyes return to normal gaze.
If an infant's eyes look to the left, press the Right Duanzheng acupoint (Right Duanzheng, the lunula surface of the middle finger); if looking to the right, press the Left Duanzheng acupoint (Left Duanzheng, the lunula surface of the middle finger; note: original text specifies "outer side of the middle joint of the middle finger").
For infants vomiting blood, press the Musai acupoint (Musai, also known as Shaoshang) located approximately one leek-leaf width behind the claw angle of the two big toenails/nails.
Excessive sweating in infants indicates Kidney deficiency; pushing to tonify Kidney Water will stop the sweat.
If an infant's illness is heavier during the day, suppress Yang; if heavier at night, suppress Yin.
If Fire is excessive after Zi hour (1-3 PM), it is Yang Fire, which should be sedated; if Fire is excessive in the afternoon (after 1 PM), it is Yin Fire, which should be tonified.
If an infant has fever first followed by chills, it is Yin interfering with Yang; treat by sedating first then tonifying. If chills occur first followed by fever, it is Yang interfering with Yin; treat by tonifying first then sedating.
For infants with edema, tonify Spleen Earth, divide Yin and Yang, and first tonify then sedate Kidney Water. Apply lamp-fire moxibustion to Taiyang acupoint, Five Centers (two palms, two soles, and Baihui on the vertex), and points on the spine, one moxa cone each, for spontaneous recovery.
Rubbing the Five Finger Joints (Wu Zhi Jie, the first interphalangeal joints on the dorsum of the hands) of infants can resolve phlegm.
Pushing the Sanjiao Meridian (from wrist to elbow on the ulnar side) treats Cold Pain of Heart Qi.
Pushing the Mingmen acupoint (Mingmen, below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra) stops lower back pain and tonifies the Lower Yuan.
Heavily pushing the Four Horizontal Lines can unblock Qi and Blood throughout the body.
Heavily pushing Banmen acupoint can stop Cold Qi in the Small Intestine.
Heavily rubbing Xiaotianxin acupoint (Xiaotianxin, the depression at the base of the palm) treats Kidney Water deficiency (Yin deficiency and fluid depletion).
Needling Fengchi acupoint (Fengchi) treats eye pain and headache.
Tu Weisheng stated: Fengchi belongs to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. The Shaoyang meridian runs along the side of the body and ascends to the head. This acupoint is located in the depression behind the mastoid process and temporal bone, at the hairline, corresponding to Kongzui. Needling together with Yamen and Fengfu acupoints is a key method for treating stroke-induced muteness, migraine and tension-type headaches, and all Wind syndromes. Yamen enters the hairline by five fen; needling should be shallow. Fengfu enters the hairline by one cun; needling should be slightly deeper.
Moxa on the Three Gates acupoint in infants can dispel Wind-Cold from the waist and back.
Moxa on Kunlun acupoint in infants can save cases of hemiplegia and difficulty in urination and defecation.
Moxa on Quchi acupoint in infants can unblock Lung Qi and Blood, treating paralysis and hemiplegia.
For infantile diarrhea, apply one moxa cone on the Guiwei bone (tailbone end) using lamp-fire moxibustion; this can cure it. However, if there is abundant and foul-smelling stool, it may indicate Yin collapse, which is often untreatable.
For infantile vomiting, apply four moxa cones on the upper and lower epigastrium using lamp-fire moxibustion. If the infant drinks much water, push Spleen Earth.
For infantile weak legs, apply one moxa cone on Guiyan acupoint (Guiyan, the center of the heel) using lamp-fire moxibustion.
For infantile weak hands dragging backwards on the wrist bend, apply one moxa cone on the joint curve.
For infantile weak neck, apply one moxa cone on the heart-navel area using lamp-fire moxibustion.
For infants with internal Heat and external Cold, pressing Kidney Water stops it.
For infants with external Cold and internal Heat, press Yangjin until sweating occurs.
When infants manifest cold symptoms, press the Heart Meridian to induce warmth; when manifesting heat symptoms, press the Kidney Meridian to induce coolness.
If an infant's mouth is closed and won't open, rub Spleen Earth frequently and apply one moxa cone to the heart area using lamp-fire moxibustion. Some methods involve rubbing the epigastrium, or grinding one fen of Cinnabar and blowing it into the nose to open the mouth.
For infantile vomiting and diarrhea, frequently push Spleen and Stomach, combine with dividing Yin and Yang, lift with lamp-fire moxibustion on the Five Centers, and apply five moxa cones on the abdomen and five on the back for efficacy.
Tu Weisheng stated: Vomiting and diarrhea may indeed be purely due to Yin-Cold, but often belong to Upper Heat and Lower Cold, or mixed Cold and Heat. One must clearly identify the symptoms and treat according to the condition to achieve efficacy. One must never recklessly use lamp-fire therapy to attack Heat with Heat, which could lead to fatal errors in treating the child.
If an infant's fontanelle shows lines like needles entering the eye, and the color is one of the five pathological colors, it indicates a death prognosis.
For infants with dry nose, pushing downwards for longevity is effective; some say to frequently push the Lung Meridian because the nose is the orifice of the Lung.
After frequently rubbing Spleen Earth and the posterior heart area in infants, if the abdomen responds, it is called Internal Dissolution (Nei Xiao).
Slowly pushing the infant's spine upwards from bottom to top can induce vomiting; the same applies to adults.
The Zusanli acupoint in infants belongs to the Stomach; frequent rubbing stops abdominal pain. It is generally applicable for adult stomach Qi pain.
For infantile constipation, use burning wine to push upwards from Shenshu acupoint to Guiwei, and downwards along the Bladder Meridian to Chengshan. Also, push downwards at the bone-drawing area beside Chengshan on the inner leg. This is a method of regulating Qi to prevent acute distension. To treat diarrhea, one must push in reverse to raise Qi and stop diarrhea.
Where the two hands of an infant cross, at the end of the index finger, lies Lieque acupoint, which can address various conditions of the head and face. Wai Guan acupoint is located two cun posterior to the dorsal wrist crease on the dorsum of the hand; it treats lower back and waist pain and is generally applicable to adults.
Pressing Kaoshan, Hegu, Shaoshang, and Neiguan acupoints in infants treats malaria.
Pressing Xiangdao acupoint in infants treats asthma, facial deviation, inability to cry, and thirst.
Pressing Zongjin acupoint and pushing Tianhe Shui treats oral ulcers, vomiting heat, and unconsciousness.
Pressing Yongquan acupoint in infants treats Phlegm obstruction; if severe, apply moxibustion.
Rubbing the tips of the two thumbs of infants, rotating outwards thirty-six times, followed by pressing, awakens the Spleen and aids digestion.
Pushing Banmen to Hengmen in infants can induce vomiting; pushing Hengmen down to Banmen can induce diarrhea. Pressing these two acupoints against each other stops vomiting and diarrhea.
Circulating Water into Earth in infants treats weakness and visible blue veins on the abdomen, known as Excess Water and Deficient Earth.
Circulating Earth into Water in infants treats abdominal distension and staring eyes, known as Excess Earth and Deficient Water.
In critical infant conditions, blow a breath forcefully onto the face. If the eyelids twitch and the eyes become active, rescue is possible. If the eyes resemble fish eyes, indicating Liver failure, rescue is impossible.
To generate Blood and regulate Qi in infants, push from Tianmen into the Tiger's Mouth and rub Douzhou.
If an infant is frightened, tonify Tongzi Ming (original text implies a specific point or method, retained as is) by lifting the ears three or four times with both hands for immediate effect.
Pediatric massage should not be rigidly bound by the theory of "push three times, return once"; simply returning a few times during the pushing process is sufficient.
Pediatric pushing methods must be linear; do not push obliquely or curvilinearly, lest you disturb other meridians and cause harm.
Tu Weisheng stated: Chen Zishan's sections above have many interpretations. Although I strive to understand them fully, I fear I may still not align with their original intent. However, given the context, I cannot help but force my way through. I hope famous experts within the realm will correct me at any time; this is my utmost prayer. Investigating the reasons for errors, they are mostly transcription mistakes. Publishers, seeking to save labor costs, disregard the quality of copying. Authors, forgetting their own painstaking efforts, disregard the precision of printing. Who knows how far errors will propagate? Even if errors can persist and authority be abandoned, how can infants be subjected to prolonged misdiagnosis and allowed to die prematurely? I do not shy away from the toil of blood and sweat. I carefully review and correct this work to make it public. Whether it is appropriate or not, I dare not decide, but my compassionate heart should be understood by the world.
