According to "Dongeuibogam(東醫寶鑑)", "the Shinnong Herb Bible(神農本草經)", "Chamdonggo(參同攷)", come to the conclusion about medical thought of "the Zhouyi Cantongxie(周易參同契)". Alchemy is a common field both on the eastern and western civilization, but a process of development is different. Ancient chinese alchemist made a study on external alchemy, but harmful consequences of external alchemy was consecutive, many scholars had turned their interest on internal alchemy which is related in human meridian biology and spirit. In the western alchemy has developed to make a study on analytic psychology and science of religion. Most importantly, the eastern and western alchemy have something in common what at the point of the perfection of self is similar, but the name is different, for example in the eastern alchemy we can be immortals and take a spiritual enlightenment with the elixir of life, in the western we can take a cure of souls as a christian. As for internal alchemy, "Cantongxie(參同契)" gives influence to the theories such as the theory of danjeon(lower part of the abdomen), evolution, aging, and life nurturing. Especially, the theory of danjeon shows such merit for studying since it is similar to triple energizers(三焦) and the theory of qi street(氣街) of oriental medicine. The study on "Cantongxie(參同契)" was achieved in Korea too, especially Chosun dynasty. "Candongkao (參同攷)" by Seo Myung-eung(徐命膺, 1716~1787) are representative. According to "Candongkao(參同攷)", Geon(乾), Gon(坤), Gam(坎), and Ri(離), the four trigrams for divination, each are affiliated with lungs, spleen, kidneys, and heart. Nowadays the study on alchemy correspond with modern trends, which are anti-aging and living without any disease. If processed mineral drugs is assured for stability, it can be used for incurable diseases such as cancer.

現存 "千金方" 大致有兩種版本, 一是未經宋代校正醫書局校訂的 "孫眞人千金方", 一是經過校訂的 "備急千 金要方". 其中, "孫眞人千金方" 發現未久, "尙未得到正式硏究. 於是, 筆者對 "孫眞人千金方" 與 "備急千金要方" 的小兒篇進行了 比較硏究. 結果發現, 兩書不同之處甚多, 尤其於方劑部分被刪除或被增補的處方較多, 所以從某種意義上看, 認爲二書屬於不同書籍亦非言過其實. 這說明, 宋代校正醫書局的校訂工作, 在學術之標準化和規範化方面雖有所補益, 但亦非盡善盡美, 尚存在一些問題.

Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$(妙闻集)是印度传统医学最重要的经典著作之一, 与"Caraka-samhit$\bar{a}$(闺罗迦集)"以及成 书于八世纪的"Astangahrdaya-samhita(八心集)"(內外科综合概要)并称 $\bar{A}$yurveda(阿输吠陀)'的"三位长老", 至今仍是当代印度 '$\bar{A}$yurveda(阿输吠陀)' 正规教育所采用的主要科书. Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$(妙闻集)"是卷一"总說"46章, 卷二"病因论"16章, 卷三"身　论"10章, 卷四"治疗论"40章, 卷五"毒物;论"8章, 卷六"补遗"66章等总共186章构成的. 其作者为苏斯鲁塔(Su$\acute{s}$ruta), 故此书亦称"Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhita(苏斯鲁塔本集)". "Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$ 的成书年代无法　定, 虽然不乏认为其成书年代可以上溯到纪元 前若干世纪者，但现今一般倾向于认为其传世本的形成是在公元3~4世纪. 不论是想真正了解 '$\bar{A}$yurveda(阿输吠陀)', 还是想对不同医学体系做比较, 交流方面的硏究, 或是全面考察医学与社会, 哲学等等的关系, 仅仅阅读综述性的硏究文章与著作总是不够的. 细观而真正了解经典原貌时所能体会到的真实感. 因此, 试图了翻译 "Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$". "Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$是用梵语写的, 所以很难接近. 以下借助大地原诚玄的1943年日译本"スシュルタ本集" 之第一卷 "总說" 而廖育群的"阿輪吠陀-印度的传统医学" "妙闻集.总论篇" 的主要内容译出. 如今西医体系获得了普遍性, 其他文化圈的传统医学消灭了. 然而其中韩医学和印度传统医学 '$\bar{A}$yurveda(阿输吠陀)' 仍然保持了生命力. 从而, 论者通过翻译 '$\bar{A}$yurveda(阿输吠陀)' 医学经典即 "Su$\acute{s}$ruta-samhit$\bar{a}$(妙闻集)"的"总說", 而且要贡献扩大韩医学和东洋传统医学的范围.

The medical treatment is process of collecting symptoms, making a diagnosis and treatment for the diagnosis. The remedy and the efficacy are the important hinge that links the diagnosis to the means of medical treatment. Lots of medical data are stored on database or saved as files in these days. The preferential way to find the efficacy related to the remedy is search all efficacy terms match up to the remedy term. To increase the rate of matching remedy terms with efficacy terms, we study the relation between efficacy terms and remedy terms and research the conversion way of the terms into the representative terms. The rate of matching the raw remedy terms with the raw efficacy terms is below 30%. The rate of matching the disaggregate remedy terms with the disaggregate efficacy terms is about 50%. The rate of matching the representative remedy terms with the representative efficacy terms is almost 70%.

Classified Emergency Materia Medica is a pharmacopoeia published by the government of the Song(宋) dynasty. After publishment, it had a decisive effect on East-Asian herbology of China, Korean & Japan. Sakae Miki(三木榮), Tameto Okanisi(岡西爲人) wrote papers on the subjects of type, publishing process, bibliographic terms of Classified Emergency Materia Medica published in the early and middle years of Joseon Dynasty. Moreover, Sakae Miki claimed that Classified Emergency Materia Medica from China had been a standard of herbology of Joseon Dynasty since its publishment, and herbology based on materia medica from countryside(鄕藥) also had occupied a part of herbology in Joseon Dynasty. Nevertheless the specific influences, from Classified Emergency Materia Medica to the medical books of Joseon Dynasty which established the herbology based on materia medica from countryside has never been handled so far. So I would like to investigate the influence of Classified Emergency Materia Medica to Joseon Dynasty, through a comparison with literature review. The main literatures for comparison are two representative medical books of Joseon Dynasty, Compendium of Prescriptions from the Countryside(1433) & Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine(1613), especially focusing on the pharmacognostic parts. The main comparing points on researching literatures will be the following: publication year of books; order of herbs; and quotations. This paper will show which edition of Classified Emergency Materia Medica was utilized to publish two medical books of Joseon Dynasty, and the process how Korean herbology based on materia medica from countryside was transformed after accepting Chinese herbology.

The Chapter of "Records on Steam Room(蒸室記)" in "Shandangjip(山堂集)" by CHOI Chungsung is a rare and notable one in that it contains the first concrete and detailed description and view of steam shower in the early Joseon Dynasty. It is known that Choi's Wind stroke(brain stroke) deteriorated due to excessive steam shower. He unreasonably entered the steam room 4 or 5 times a day for 9 consecutive days even though external pathogens had intruded into visceral organs and his energizing chi got less and weaker. By this excessive steam showering, his righteous chi was exhausted and eventually burned out. Given some records in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty writing that people died due to excessive steam shower, there was no established medical theory on the effect of steam shower before the publication of "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)".

I had come at the conclusion of the development history of Disease Bi(痞病) reflected in Yi Cheon (李梴)'s work, "Euhakibmun(醫學入門)" in the respects of the causes, mechanism, symptoms, differential diagnosis and treatments. The causes of Disease Bi(痞病) mentioned at "Euhakibmun(醫學入門)" followed the Ju Dan-Gyeo(朱丹溪)'s theory. The mechanism of it went after the viewpoints of "Nae-Gyeong(內經)", Jang Jung-Gyeong(張仲景), Yi Dong-Won(李東垣) and Wang Ho-Go(王好古). The symptoms of it kept the Ju Dan-Gyeo(朱丹溪)'s theory. Yi Cheon distinguished Disease Bi(痞病) from Gyeol-Hyung(結胸) according to Jang Jung-Gyeong's theory. He knew it from abdominal dropsy(脹滿) according to Ju Dan-Gyeo's theory. He also divided it into two respects of deficiency(虛) and excessive(實) from Yi Dong-Won's viewpoint. Jang Jung-Gyeong first suggested that treatments of it could be selected according to the difference of deficiency, excessive(實), cold(寒), hot(熱), sputum(痰), fluid(飮), blood(血) and food(食). Yi Dong-Won insisted many doctors could make a mistake because they only used herbs for Gi(氣藥) instead of herbs for blood(血藥) together. Wang Ho-Go(王好古) maintained his opinion that treatments of both digestion(消導) and assistance(補益), remedies of bitter and hot herbs can recover patients from Disease Bi(痞病). Yi Cheon followed their theories properly.

There has been a need for an operational curriculum for teaching Chinese characters used by traditional Korean medicine (TKM), but the it was not thoroughly reviewed so far. We analysed the frequency of unicode Chinese characters with five textbooks of traditional Korean medicine used as a national standard. We found that 氣, 經, 陽, 陰, 不, 熱, 血, 脈, 病, 證, 寒, 中, 心, 痛, 虛, 大, 生, 治, 本, 之 are the 20 most frequently used Chinese characters, and also showed 100 frequently used characters for each textbook. We used a cumulative frequency analysis method to suggest a list of 1,000 prerequisite Chinese characters for the TKM education (TKM 1000). which represents the current usage of Chinese characters in TKM and covers 99% of all textbook use if combined with MEST 1800. This study showed prerequisite and essential Chinese characters for the implementation of evidence-based teaching in TKM. The TKM 1000, a prerequisite characters by this study based on the TKM textbooks can be used for the development of Korean Medicine Education Eligibility Test (KEET), entrance exam to the Colleges of Oriental Medicine or textbooks, and educational curriculum for premed students.

"Hwangjenaegyeong-taeso(黃帝內經太素)" is a classic work of Yang Sang-seon(楊上善), which comprises original articles of "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)" along with "Somun(素問)", "Yeongchu(靈樞)", and "gapeul(甲乙)", as a one of the oldest annotated publications. Therefore, its significance lies in that "Hwangjenaegyeong-taeso(黃帝內經太素)" is a valuable work to reconstruct the original text of "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)" and comprehend its fundamental ideas. The only printed edition of "Hwangjenaegyeong-taeso(黃帝內經太素)" was photocopied in 1981, and is currently known as 'Orient Edition'. While 'Orient Edition' was referred to as the draft for the latest revised edition, volume 21 and 27 were photocopied from hand-copied edition, not the original. The original publications of 'Orient Edition' have been stocked at 'Haengwuseook(杏雨書屋)' of Japan and were recently published. Hence, a comparative study between the two original volumes and the former ones has been conducted. Although the most of the differences were trivial, some may have led to distorted interpretation of the text. The errors of the former revised edition fall into a few specific categories, and the most significant ones were errors that were made during the hand-copying procedure. Moreover, there were errors that were made due to the low resolution of the former draft, and simple errors during the publishing. In this work, examples of such cases were presented, and the results were collected.
