小儿血气俱盛者，则腑皆实，故胃中生热。其状∶大便则黄，四肢壮，翕然体热者
小儿中客忤者，是小儿神气软弱，忽有非常之物，或未经识见之人触之，与鬼神气相忤
而发病，谓之客忤也，亦名中客，又名中人。其状∶吐下青黄白色，水谷解离，腹痛反倒夭
矫，面变易五色。其状似痫，但眼不上摇耳，其脉弦急数者是也。若失时不治，久则难治。
若乳母饮酒过度，醉及房劳喘后乳者，最剧，能杀儿也。
小儿神气软弱，精爽微羸，而神魂被鬼所持录。其状∶不觉有余疾，直尔萎黄，多大啼
唤，口气常臭是也。
小儿卒死者，是三虚而遇贼风，故无病仓卒而死也。三虚者，乘年之衰一也，逢月之空
二也，失时之和三也。有人因此三虚，复为贼风所伤，使阴气偏竭于内，阳气阻隔于外，而
壅闭，阴阳不通，故暴绝而死也。若腑脏未竭，良久乃苏；亦有兼挟鬼神气者，皆有顷
邪退乃生也。
凡中客忤及中恶卒死，而邪气不尽，停滞心腹，久乃发动，多发成注也。
小儿中恶者，是鬼邪之气卒中于人也。无问大小，若阴阳顺理，荣卫平和，神守则强，
邪不干正。若精气衰弱，则鬼毒恶气中之。其状∶先无他病，卒然心腹刺痛，闷乱欲死是也
凡中恶腹大而满，脉紧大而浮者死，紧细而微者生。余势不尽，停滞脏腑之间，更发后
，变为注也。
凡是小儿血气都旺盛的，那么六腑都会充实，所以胃中会产生热邪。其症状表现为：大便颜色发黄，四肢粗壮有力，全身发热且热度明显。
凡是小儿脏腑充实、血气旺盛的，表里都会发热，因此会苦于烦躁不安，皮肤灼热。
凡是小儿血气旺盛的，那么脏腑就会生热；热邪会导致脏气干燥，所以会引起口渴。
小儿患客忤病的，是因为小儿神气虚弱，突然被不寻常的事物，或者未曾见过的人所触犯，与鬼神之气相冲撞而发病，这叫做客忤，也称作中客，又叫做中人。其症状表现为：呕吐和腹泻出青、黄、白色的物质，水谷分离不化，腹痛剧烈导致身体反折扭曲，面色变幻不定呈现五色。其症状类似痫病，但眼睛不上翻，脉象弦急而数，这就是客忤病。如果错过时机不治疗，时间久了就难以治愈。如果是乳母饮酒过量，醉酒后或房事劳累喘息之后哺乳婴儿，病情最为严重，甚至能导致婴儿死亡。
小儿神气虚弱，精神气血轻微亏损，神魂被鬼邪所控制。其症状表现为：不知不觉患有其他疾病，直接表现为面色萎黄，经常大声啼哭呼唤，口中常有臭味。
小儿猝然死亡的，是因为遭遇“三虚”并受到贼风侵袭，所以在没有明显疾病的情况下突然死亡。“三虚”是指：遇到年份运气衰败是一虚，遇到月亮亏空之时是二虚，违背时令气候的和顺是三虚。有人因为这三虚，又受到贼风的伤害，使得阴气在内偏颇枯竭，阳气在外阻隔壅闭，阴阳之气不通畅，所以突然断绝气息而死。如果脏腑精气尚未完全枯竭，过一段时间可能会苏醒；也有兼夹鬼神之气的，通常等邪气消退后才会存活。
凡是中客忤及中恶猝死的，如果邪气没有排尽，停滞在心腹部位，时间久了就会发作，多发展为注病（一种慢性传染或迁延难愈的疾病）。
小儿中恶病，是鬼邪之气突然袭击人体所致。无论年龄大小，如果阴阳运行顺理，营卫平和，神志守持稳固，正气强盛，邪气就不能侵犯。如果精气衰弱，就会被鬼毒恶气所中。其症状表现为：先前没有其他疾病，突然感到心腹部刺痛，烦闷混乱想要死去。凡是中恶病出现腹部胀大且满实，脉象紧大而浮的预后不良（死）；脉象紧细而微弱的预后良好（生）。余势未尽，停滞在脏腑之间，再次发作后，会转变为注病。
In children whose blood and qi are both abundant, the fu organs are all full, thus heat generates in the stomach. The presentation includes: yellow stools, robust limbs, and a generalized fever that is palpable to the touch.
When children have solid zang-fu organs and abundant blood and qi, there is heat in both the interior and exterior, leading to distress from irritability and restlessness, as well as hot skin.
When children have abundant blood and qi, heat generates within the zang-fu organs. Heat causes dryness of the zang organs, resulting in thirst.
Infantile Ke Wu (Guest Intoxication) occurs when a child with weak Shen Qi (Spiritual Energy) is suddenly exposed to unusual objects or unfamiliar people, causing a clash with ghostly or spiritual energies, thereby inducing disease. This condition is called Ke Wu, also known as Zhong Ke or Zhong Ren. Its manifestations include vomiting and diarrhea of green, yellow, or white substances, separation of water and food undigested, severe abdominal pain causing the body to arch backward and twist contortedly, and facial complexion changing among five colors. The presentation resembles Epilepsy (Xian Bing), but without upward rolling of the eyes; the pulse is wiry, rapid, and frequent. If treatment is delayed, it becomes difficult to cure later. If the wet nurse has consumed excessive alcohol, breastfeeds while intoxicated, or after sexual exertion and panting, the condition is most severe and can be fatal to the infant.
When a child’s Shen Qi is weak and Jing Shuang (Essence and Spirituality) is slightly emaciated, the Hun and Po (Soul and Corporeal Soul) may be possessed by ghosts. The presentation involves unknowingly suffering from other ailments, manifesting directly as sallow complexion, frequent loud crying and calling, and persistent foul breath odor.
Sudden death in infants results from encountering "Three Deficiencies" combined with invasion by Thieving Wind (Zei Feng). Thus, death occurs abruptly without prior obvious illness. The "Three Deficiencies" are: first, coinciding with a year of declining annual luck; second, encountering the time of the new moon (emptiness); third, deviating from the harmonious climate of the season. When these three deficiencies exist, and the individual is further injured by Thieving Wind, Yin Qi becomes excessively depleted internally, while Yang Qi is blocked externally, causing stagnation and closure. With unblocked communication between Yin and Yang, sudden cessation of breath and death occur. If the zang-fu essence has not completely exhausted, revival may occur after a long period; some cases involve concurrent ghostly/spiritual energy, where survival depends on the retreat of the pathogenic factor after a short interval.
For those who suffer from Ke Wu or Zhong E (Evil Invasion) with sudden death, if the pathogenic qi is not fully expelled and remains stagnant in the heart and abdomen, it may trigger later attacks, often developing into Zhu Bing (Casting Disease/Chronic Infectious Disease).
Zhong E (Evil Invasion) in children refers to ghostly or evil qi striking the person suddenly. Regardless of age, if Yin and Yang follow their proper order, Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) are harmonious, and the Shen is secure, Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) remains strong, and pathogens cannot invade. However, if Jing Qi is weak, one will be struck by ghostly toxicity and evil qi. The presentation begins with no prior illness, followed suddenly by stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen, severe oppression, confusion, and a sensation of impending death. In Zhong E, if the abdomen is distended and full, and the pulse is tight, large, and floating, the prognosis is poor (death); if the pulse is tight, fine, and faint, the prognosis is good (survival). If residual pathogenic force remains stagnant between the zang-fu organs and reactivates, it transforms into Zhu Bing.
