In response to this situation where realistic knowledge and solution was of importance than theological review, Hwang and his son wrote the book to satisfy the needs. The book, ${\ll}$Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)${\gg}$ furthered new publishment of abstract asian medical science in a more compact form, emphasizing more realistic means of it. This new publishment were a significant counter-measure to cope with the inflow of practical western medicine, which the move has moreover enhanced popularization of Han Medicine(韓醫學). After reviewing ${\ll}$Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)${\gg}$ in xylographical approach, I have acquired conclusions as below.
