囟门（婴儿头顶骨未合缝处）出现八字形的筋纹是非常不正常的，如果筋纹穿透三关，生命必然危殆。初关（靠近发际的第一关）刚出现时，若筋纹有进退变化；次部（第二关）受到侵犯，尚且还有回旋余地。
赤色的筋纹通常是因为膈食（饮食积滞于胸膈）所致，青色的筋纹则是因为水风（寒湿与风邪）所伤。筋纹连接到大拇指是阴症的表现，如果筋纹像花朵一样散开，必定是不祥之兆（这代表有灾祸的筋纹）。
筋纹带有悬针状（垂直如针）的主管呕吐腹泻，筋纹延伸到关外（第三关之外），生命难以保全。四肢被痰湿浸染、腹部膨胀，吐乳却是由于乳食损伤所致。鱼口（口角张开如鱼口）、鸦声（声音嘶哑如乌鸦叫）并伴有气急，犬吠样咳嗽使人惊恐张皇。各种风病惊症应当尽早推断治疗，如果延迟，生命必然危亡。神仙留下了真正奇妙的疗法，后学者若能通晓，便是第一强项。
凡是观察鼻梁上的筋纹，如果直插天心穴（鼻根两眉之间），预示一生都会受惊吓。
刚出生时，一关（近发际处）有白色筋纹，要谨防在三日内发病。二关（鼻梁中段）有白色筋纹，要谨防在五日内发病。三关（鼻尖处）有白色筋纹，要谨防在一年之后发病。
凡是筋纹在坎位（鼻根上方特定区域）出现的即死，在坎下出现的可存活三年。又有四季本色（随季节变化的正常颜色）的筋纹，虽然存在也无害。
青色的是风证，白色的是水证，红色的是热证，赤色的是乳食所伤。
凡是慢惊风即将危重，不能说话，先灸三阴交穴、二泥丸穴、三颊车穴、四少商穴、五少海穴，根据病势轻重，或灸三壮、五壮、一壮，甚至灸到七七四十九壮，辨别男女左右侧，十次能救活十次。如果是急惊风、天吊惊（一种严重的惊厥），掐按手上的青筋、脐上下方、两耳，又掐总心穴。
内吊惊，掐按天心穴。
慢惊风昏迷不省人事，也掐按总心穴。
急惊风如同死亡状态，掐按两手筋脉。
眼睛闭合，泻瞳子髎穴。
牙关紧闭，泻颊车穴。
口眼都闭合，泻迎香穴。
以上这些方法，是以手代针的神奇技艺。也分为补法和泻法。
面部的病症中，额头对应心脏，鼻子对应脾土，这是真实的道理。左腮对应肝脏，右腮对应肺脏，承浆穴（下巴中央凹陷处）对应肾脏，位于下唇下方。
The Ba-zi (figure-eight) pattern of tendons at the fontanelle is extremely abnormal; if the tendon penetrates all three passes, life will surely be lost. If the tendon just enters the first pass and shows fluctuation, or invades the second pass, there is still some room for maneuver.
Red tendons are merely due to ge-shi (food stagnation in the chest/diaphragm); greenish-blue tendons are indeed caused by water-wind (cold-dampness and wind pathogens). Tendons connecting to the big toe indicate Yin syndrome; if the tendons bloom like flowers, it is definitely an ill omen (these are tendons associated with disaster).
Tendons carrying a Xuan-zhen (hanging needle-like vertical line) pattern primarily indicate vomiting and diarrhea; if the tendon pattern extends beyond the outer pass, life will be hard to sustain. Phlegm infusing into the four limbs and abdominal distension, while spitting milk is due to damage from milk/food intake. Yu-kou (fish-mouth opening), Ya-sheng (crow-like hoarse voice), and shortness of breath occur together; dog-barking coughs cause people to panic. All wind diseases and convulsive syndromes should be assessed early; if delayed, life will surely be lost. The Immortals left behind truly miraculous methods; those who can master them as later learners will be the strongest.
Whenever observing tendons on the nose bridge, if they insert straight into the Tian-xin point, it indicates lifelong fright.
At birth, if there is a white mark at the first pass, beware of onset within three days. If at the second pass, beware within five days. If at the third pass, beware after one year.
If tendons appear at the Kan position, death ensues; if below Kan, survival for three years. There are also tendons of the natural color of the four seasons; although present, they are harmless.
Green indicates Wind, White indicates Water, Red indicates Heat, and Crimson indicates injury from milk/food.
When slow convulsions are critical and speech is lost, first moxa San-yin-jiao (SP6), Er Ni-wan, San Jia-che (ST6), Si Shao-shang (LU11), Wu Shao-hai (HT3). Depending on the severity of the disease, apply 3, 5, 1, or up to 49 moxa cones, distinguishing male/female and right/left sides. Ten cases yield ten recoveries. For acute convulsions or Tian-diao convulsion, pinch the green tendons on the hands, above and below the umbilicus, both ears, and Zong-xin point.
For Nei-diao convulsion, pinch Tian-xin point.
For slow convulsions with loss of consciousness, also pinch Zong-xin point.
For acute convulsions resembling death, pinch the tendons of both hands.
For closed eyes, drain Tong-zi-liao (GB1).
For locked jaw, drain Jia-che (ST6).
For both mouth and eyes closed, drain Ying-xiang (LI20).
These aforementioned methods are divine techniques using hands instead of needles. They also distinguish between tonification and sedation.
Symptoms on the face: the forehead corresponds to the Heart; the nose corresponds to Spleen Earth, which is true. The left cheek corresponds to the Liver, the right to the Lung; Cheng-jang (CV24) corresponds to the Kidney, located below the lower lip.
