变蒸者，阴阳水火蒸于血气，而使形体成就，是五脏之变气，而七情之所由生
也。盖儿生之日，至三十二日一变，每变蒸毕，即觉性情有异于前，何者？长生脏
腑意智故也。何谓三十二日长骨添精神？人有三百六十五骨，以象天数，以应期岁，
以分十二经络，故初生至三十二日一变生癸，属足少阴肾，脏精与志。六十四日二
变一蒸生壬，属足太阳膀胱，其发耳与 冷。至九十六日三变生丁，属手少阴心经，
心藏神，其性为喜。一百二十八日四变二蒸生丙，属手太阳小肠，其发汗出而微惊。
一百六十日五变生乙，属足厥阴肝，肝藏魂，喜哭。一百九十二日六变三蒸生甲，
属足少阳胆，其发目不闭而赤。二百二十四日七变生辛，属手太阴肺，肺藏魄，生
声。二百五十六日八变四蒸生庚，属手阳明大肠，其发肤热而汗，或不汗。二百八
十八日九变生已，属足太阴脾，脾藏意智。至三百二十日十变五蒸生戊，属足阳明
胃，其发不食，肠痛而吐乳。又手厥阴心包络，手少阳三焦，此二经俱无形状，故
不变而不蒸也。前十变五蒸，乃天地之数以生成之，然后始生齿，能言，知喜怒，
故云始全也。太仓云∶气入四肢，长碎骨。于十变后六十四日为一大蒸，计三百八
十四日，长其经脉手足，手受血故能持握，足受血故能行立，经云∶变且蒸。谓蒸
毕而足一岁之日有余也。师曰∶不汗而热者发其汗，大吐者微止，不可别治。又六
十四日为二大蒸，计四百四十八日，又六十四日三大蒸，计五百一十二日，共五百
七十六日，变蒸既毕，儿乃成人也。变者，变生五脏也，蒸者，蒸养六腑也，所以
成人。变者上气，蒸者体热，每经一变一蒸，情能既异，轻则发热微汗，其状似惊，
重则壮热脉乱而数，或吐或汗，或烦啼躁渴，轻者五日解，重者七八日解，其候，
与伤寒相似。亦有变蒸之余，续感寒邪者，但变蒸则耳冷 冷，上唇发泡，状如泡
珠，若寒邪搏之，则寒热交争，腹中作痛，而啼叫之声，日夜不绝。变者，易也，
蒸于肝则目眩微赤，蒸于肺则嚏嗽毛耸，凡五脏六腑筋脉骨节，循环各有证应，其
治法，和平之剂微表之，热实者，微利之，或不治亦自愈。〔汤〕《千金》变蒸论

变蒸，是指阴阳水火在血气中蒸腾，促使形体发育成熟，这是五脏之气的变化，也是七情产生的根源。婴儿出生之日起，每过三十二日发生一次“变”，每次变蒸结束后，就会发觉孩子的性情与之前有所不同，为什么呢？这是因为脏腑、意念和智慧得以生长的缘故。什么是“三十二日长骨添精神”呢？人体有三百六十五块骨头，以象征天数的周流，以对应一年的周期，并分属十二经络。所以从初生到三十二日为第一次变，生出癸水，归属于足少阴肾经，肾藏精与志。六十四日为第二次变和第一次蒸，生出壬水，归属于足太阳膀胱经，其表现为耳朵发冷。九十六日为第三次变，生出丁火，归属于手少阴心经，心藏神，其情志为喜。一百二十八日为第四次变和第二次蒸，生出丙火，归属于手太阳小肠经，其表现为出汗且轻微惊恐。一百六十日为第五次变，生出乙木，归属于足厥阴肝经，肝藏魂，表现为喜欢哭泣。一百九十二日为第六次变和第三次蒸，生出甲木，归属于足少阳胆经，其表现为眼睛不闭且发红。二百二十四日为第七次变，生出辛金，归属于手太阴肺经，肺藏魄，表现为发声。二百五十六日为第八次变和第四次蒸，生出庚金，归属于手阳明大肠经，其表现为皮肤发热出汗，或者无汗。二百八十八日为第九次变，生出己土，归属于足太阴脾经，脾藏意智。三百二十日为第十次变和第五次蒸，生出戊土，归属于足阳明胃经，其表现为不吃东西、肠痛并吐乳。另外，手厥阴心包络和手少阳三焦这两条经络都没有具体的形状，所以不发生变也不发生蒸。前十次变和五次小蒸，是依据天地之数来生成养育的，之后才开始长牙齿、能说话、知晓喜怒，所以说此时身体才算完整。太仓公说：气进入四肢，促进碎骨生长。在十次变之后，再过六十四日进行一次大蒸，共计三百八十四日，此时经脉充盈于手足，手得到血液滋养故能持握，脚得到血液滋养故能行走站立。经文说：“变且蒸”，意思是蒸腾完毕，大约相当于一年的时间有余。老师说：不出汗而发热的，用发汗法治疗；呕吐严重的，轻微止呕即可，不可进行其他特殊治疗。又过六十四日为第二次大蒸，共计四百四十八日；再过一个六十四日为第三次大蒸，共计五百一十二日；总共五百七十六日，变蒸结束后，孩子才真正成人。所谓“变”，是变化生成五脏；所谓“蒸”，是蒸养六腑，以此来成就成人之体。“变”表现为上焦气机变动，“蒸”表现为身体发热。每一经经历一变一蒸，性情就会有所改变。轻症则发热微汗，症状类似惊风；重症则高热、脉象紊乱且快，或呕吐或出汗，或烦躁啼哭口渴。轻症五天缓解，重症七八天缓解。其征候，与伤寒相似。也有在变蒸余势未消时，又感受寒邪的，但如果是单纯的变蒸，则耳朵发凉、臀部发凉，上唇起水泡，状如珍珠；若是寒邪搏结，则寒热交争，腹中疼痛，啼叫之声日夜不停。“变”意为改变，蒸于肝则目眩微红，蒸于肺则打喷嚏咳嗽、毫毛竖起。凡五脏六腑、筋脉骨节，循环往复各有证候反应。其治疗方法，平和者用轻微解表的药剂，热实者用轻微通下的药剂，或者不治也能自愈。
《千金方》的《变蒸论》中说：凡是婴儿出生三十二日一次变，六十四日再次变，变且蒸，九十六日三次变，一百二十八日四次变，变且蒸，一百六十日五次变，一百九十二日六次变，变且蒸，二百二十四日七次变，二百五十六日八次变，变且蒸，二百八十八日九次变，三百二十日十次变，变且蒸，累计三百二十日，小蒸结束。此后六十四日为大蒸，蒸后六十四日再次大蒸，蒸后一百二十八日再次大蒸。凡是小儿自出生起三十二日一变，两次变合为一蒸，共十变而五次小蒸，加上三次大蒸，累计五百七十六日，大小蒸都结束，才成为成人。小儿之所以变蒸，是为了荣养血脉，改换五脏，所以每一次变蒸结束，总觉得情态有所不同。其变蒸的征候，变表现为上焦气机变动，蒸表现为身体发热。变蒸有轻重之分，轻者身体发热且轻微惊恐，耳朵和臀部发凉，上唇头起白泡如鱼目珠子，微微出汗；重者身体壮热且脉象紊乱，或出汗或无汗，不想吃东西，吃了就吐，眼白睛微红，黑睛微白。又说：眼白者重，赤黑者轻。变蒸结束后，自然眼神精明，这就是它的证候。单变轻微，兼蒸剧烈。凡是蒸，平和者五日衰退，远者十日衰退，提前五日或推后五日，都在十日之内热退，如果超过日期不退，切不可胡乱治疗及艾灸针刺。海藏先生说：言变蒸通共十八次，大概前三百二十日为十次小蒸，后二百五十六日为十大蒸也。（“ ”字，音乎典切，指不呕吐而吐出食物。）若无名氏医家说：如果身体热、耳朵热、臀部也热，这是其他疾病，可以按别病治疗。薛己说：变蒸的治疗方法，平和者，轻微解表；实热者，轻微通下，古方紫霜丸、黑散子、柴胡汤都可以使用。如果有寒无热，并且呕吐腹泻、不吃奶、多啼哭的，用当归散、调气散主治。前面的证候，大概是小儿所难免的，即使不用药也可以痊愈，前面的药物峻烈，不仅脏腑承受不住，而且反而损伤气血。我曾经见过一个小孩到第一次变蒸发热且有痰，投服一粒抱龙丸，最终导致死亡，务必谨慎！那些没有发热惊悸，略微没有证候，而暗中变蒸的，是因为受胎气壮实的缘故。

Bianzheng (Periodic Growth and Transformation) refers to the steaming of Yin-Yang and Water-Fire within the Blood and Qi, promoting the maturation of the physical form. It represents the transformational Qi of the Five Zang organs and is the origin of the Seven Emotions. From the day of birth, an infant undergoes a "Bian" (Transformation) every thirty-two days. Upon completion of each Bianzheng, one notices that the child's temperament differs from before. Why? Because the Zang-Fu organs, intentions, and wisdom are growing. What does "growing bones and adding spirit every thirty-two days" mean? The human body has three hundred and sixty-five bones, symbolizing the cycle of heavenly numbers, corresponding to the annual period, and dividing into the Twelve Meridians. Thus, from birth to thirty-two days constitutes the first Bian, generating Gui Water, belonging to the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian; the Kidney stores Essence and Will. At sixty-four days, the second Bian and first Zheng (Steaming) occur, generating Ren Water, belonging to the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian; its manifestation is cold ears. At ninety-six days, the third Bian occurs, generating Ding Fire, belonging to the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian; the Heart stores Spirit, and its emotion is Joy. At one hundred and twenty-eight days, the fourth Bian and second Zheng occur, generating Bing Fire, belonging to the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian; its manifestations are sweating and slight fright. At one hundred and sixty days, the fifth Bian occurs, generating Yi Wood, belonging to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian; the Liver stores Hun (Ethereal Soul), manifesting as weeping. At one hundred and ninety-two days, the sixth Bian and third Zheng occur, generating Jia Wood, belonging to the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian; its manifestations are eyes remaining open and redness. At two hundred and twenty-four days, the seventh Bian occurs, generating Xin Metal, belonging to the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian; the Lung stores Po (Corporeal Soul), manifesting as vocalization. At two hundred and fifty-six days, the eighth Bian and fourth Zheng occur, generating Geng Metal, belonging to the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian; its manifestations are skin heat and sweating, or absence of sweating. At two hundred and eighty-eight days, the ninth Bian occurs, generating Ji Earth, belonging to the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian; the Spleen stores Yi (Intellect). At three hundred and twenty days, the tenth Bian and fifth Zheng occur, generating Wu Earth, belonging to the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian; its manifestations are refusal to eat, abdominal pain, and regurgitation of milk. Additionally, the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian and the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao (Triple Burner) Meridian lack specific shapes, so they do not undergo Bian or Zheng. The first ten Bians and five minor Zhengs follow the numbers of Heaven and Earth for generation and nourishment. Only after this do teeth emerge, speech begins, and joy/anger are understood, hence it is said that the body becomes complete. Taicanggong stated: "Qi enters the four limbs, lengthening the fragmented bones." Sixty-four days after the ten Bians, a major Zheng occurs, totaling three hundred and eighty-four days; at this stage, meridians fill the hands and feet. Hands receive blood, enabling grasping; feet receive blood, enabling walking and standing. The classic states: "Bian and Zheng," meaning the completion of steaming corresponds roughly to a year's duration. The Master stated: "For fever without sweating, induce sweating; for severe vomiting, mildly stop it; do not treat otherwise." Another sixty-four days later constitutes the second major Zheng, totaling four hundred and forty-eight days; another sixty-four days later constitutes the third major Zheng, totaling five hundred and twelve days; altogether five hundred and seventy-six days. Upon completion of Bianzheng, the child becomes an adult. "Bian" refers to the transformation and generation of the Five Zang organs; "Zheng" refers to the steaming and nourishment of the Six Fu organs, thereby achieving adulthood. "Bian" involves the movement of Upper Jiao Qi; "Zheng" involves body heat. With each meridian undergoing one Bian and one Zheng, the temperament changes. Mild cases present with low-grade fever and slight sweating, resembling Fright Wind; severe cases present with high fever, chaotic and rapid pulse, vomiting, sweating, irritability, crying, restlessness, and thirst. Mild cases resolve in five days; severe cases in seven to eight days. These signs resemble Cold Damage (Shanghan). Some infants, while residual effects of Bianzheng persist, contract Cold Evil. However, pure Bianzheng presents with cold ears and buttocks, and blisters on the upper lip resembling pearls. If Cold Evil combats it, there is alternating chills and fever, abdominal pain, and ceaseless crying day and night. "Bian" means change; steaming the Liver causes dizziness and slight redness of the eyes; steaming the Lung causes sneezing, coughing, and erection of hair. All Five Zang and Six Fu organs, tendons, vessels, bones, and joints have cyclic corresponding syndromes. Treatment methods: for mild/harmonious cases, use mild exterior-releasing agents; for Heat-Excess cases, use mild purgatives; or it may resolve spontaneously.
The *Treatise on Bianzheng* in *Qianjin Fang* states: An infant undergoes one Bian at thirty-two days, a second Bian at sixty-four days (Bian and Zheng), three Bians at ninety-six days, four Bians at one hundred and twenty-eight days (Bian and Zheng), five Bians at one hundred and sixty days, six Bians at one hundred and ninety-two days (Bian and Zheng), seven Bians at two hundred and twenty-four days, eight Bians at two hundred and fifty-six days (Bian and Zheng), nine Bians at two hundred and eighty-eight days, and ten Bians at three hundred and twenty days (Bian and Zheng). Accumulating three hundred and twenty days, minor Zhengs conclude. Then, sixty-four days later is a major Zheng; sixty-four days after that, another major Zheng; one hundred and twenty-eight days after that, yet another major Zheng. Generally, from birth, every thirty-two days is one Bian; two Bians constitute one Zheng. Ten Bians result in five minor Zhengs, plus three major Zhengs, accumulating five hundred and seventy-six days. Upon completion of all major and minor Zhengs, the child becomes an adult. The reason for Bianzheng in children is to nourish the Blood and Vessels and transform the Five Zang organs. Thus, after each Bianzheng, the temperament appears different. The signs of Bianzheng: Bian involves Upper Jiao Qi movement; Zheng involves body heat. There are mild and severe forms. Mild cases feature body heat, slight fright, cold ears and buttocks, white blisters on the upper lip like fish eyes, and slight sweating. Severe cases feature intense body heat, chaotic pulse, sweating or no sweating, anorexia, immediate vomiting upon eating, slightly red whites of the eyes, and slightly white irises. It is also said: whiteness indicates severity; redness/darkness indicates mildness. After Bianzheng concludes, vision naturally becomes clear; this is the syndrome. Single Bian is mild; combined Zheng is more intense. For Zheng, mild cases subside in five days, distant cases in ten days. Whether five days early or late, the heat should subside within ten days. If it persists beyond the timeframe, absolutely do not administer random treatments or moxibustion/acupuncture. Haizang stated: Bianzheng occurs eighteen times in total; the first three hundred and twenty days comprise ten minor Zhengs, and the subsequent two hundred and fifty-six days comprise ten major Zhengs. (Character pronunciation: hu dian qie, meaning vomiting without retching.) Wu stated: If the body, ears, and buttocks are all hot, this is another disease and should be treated differently. Xue stated: Treatment for Bianzheng: for harmonious cases, mild exterior release; for Excess-Heat cases, mild purgation. Ancient formulas such as Zishuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill), Heisanzi (Black Powder), and Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) are applicable. For cases with Cold but no Heat, accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, refusal to nurse, and excessive crying, Danggui San (Angelica Powder) and Tiaoqi San (Regulating Qi Powder) are indicated. The aforementioned syndromes are inevitable in infants; even without medication, they may heal. The aforementioned drugs are harsh; not only will the Zang-Fu organs fail to withstand them, but they will also damage Qi and Blood. I once witnessed an infant suffering from fever and phlegm during the first Bian; after administering one pill of Baolong Wan (Embracing Dragon Pill), the child died suddenly. Be extremely cautious! Those who do not exhibit fever or fright, with minimal symptoms, undergo secret Bianzheng due to robust prenatal Qi.
