Abstract

We analyzed the data on medicinal plants and related traditional knowledge in Korea and China using data analysis method. There are 108 families 214 genera 542 species, and 202 families 660 genera 1,261 species were found in Korea and China respectively. Total of 86 families (79.6%) and 130 genera (60.7%) were in common both countries. More than one information were recorded in many species, however, there was only one information from some species (32.7% of genera in Korea, and 58.8% of genera in China). The most frequent appeared plant family was Compositae (Asteraceae) in both countries (8.4% in Korea and 10.7% in China) and followed by Rosecease and Leguminocae (Fabaceae). Plant parts were classified 11 parts and roots were mostly used in Korea and whole plants in China. Usages were described in different terms of ailments or symptoms. There are 120 usage in Korea and 230 in China. Plant uses for the ailment or symptoms are pain, digestive system disorder, cold and etc. in Korea. In China, plants were mostly used for clear heat, digestive system disorder, cough and etc. Relation between the plant and ailment(symptom) of the top 10 plants in Korea and China was different although from same plant family. We also analyzed the relations between plant species and part used, and plants parts and ailment(symptom). With the data analysis method, we were able to collect the medicinal plant resources data and found the differences in plant resources, usage, and plant part for use. The result provide important information of the plant resources and related traditional knowledge of Korea for use of plant resources in industry and facilitate to plan a strategy to cope with Nagoya Protocol in the future.

한국과 중국의 약용식물과 이와 관련된 사용정보 등이 포함된 전통지식을 데이터분석기법을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 한국의 약용식물은 108과 214속 542종, 중국은 202과 660속 1261종으로 나타났다. 한국의 중국의 86개과 (79.6%) 식물종과 130개속 (60.7%) 식물종이 공통으로 나타났다. 다수 정보를 포함하고 있는 식물종도 있었지만 속 단위 기준으로 한국은 32.7%, 중국 58.8%가 단 한 건의 정보만을 포함하고 있었다. 수집 정보 중 가장 많이 출현한 식물종은 두 나라 모두 국화과가 8.4% (한국), 10.7% (중국)으로 가장 많이 나타났고 이어서 장미과, 콩과 등에 대한 정보가 많았다. 사용하는 식물 부위는 뿌리 등 11개 부위로 분류하였으며, 우리나라 전통지식에서는 식물의 뿌리를 가장 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났고, 중국 전통지식에서는 식물전체를 이용하는 경우가 가장 많아 양국이 사용하는 부위가 다르게 나타났다. 식물 용법은 다양한 표현으로 기록되어 있었는데 한국은 120개이고 중국은 230개였다. 한국 정보에는 통증, 소화기장애, 감기 등의 순서로 증상 또는 효능이 많았고, 중국 정보에는 해열, 소화기장애, 기침 등 순으로 나타났다. 네트웍분석법을 이용하여 전통지식 정보에 다수 나타난 식물종 10종과 질병과의 연관관계를 분석한 결과 한국과 중국에서 공통으로 다수 발견된 수종이라도 연관관계가 높은 질병은 다르게 나타났다. 식물체의 부위별로 작용하는 질병이 다르게 나타났으며 양국이 사용하는 식물체 부위도 서로 다르게 나타났다. 데이터분석을 통하여 약용식물과 사용부위, 질병과의 연관관계를 분석한 결과 중국의 약용식물과 전통지식에 대한 정보를 파악할 수 있었으며 한국 정보와의 차이를 발견하였다. 이러한 정보는 식물자원과 전통지식에 대한 고유성을 확보하는데 정보로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.
