Study of the achievements and name of Pyunjak
편작(扁鵲)의 행적(行蹟)과 명의(名義)에 관한 고찰(考察)
Abstract
Pyunjak is presumed to be Jinwallin who was active in early Chunchu period among five identically called doctors from early Chunchu period to Warring period. The name, Pyunjak, seems to be used as "special local doctor who goes around the country". This reflects the social atmosphere of the time that medical science and art were getting developed from royal household and government centered medicine to civilian-centered medicine.
