The textual comments on Shanghanlun and Jinguiyaolue were found in Hyangyakjipsung-bang, the representative medical book in the early period of Choson Dynasty. In all 57 chapters of the book, 17 chapters are related to those comments, and only one comment is quoted from all chapters except the chapter of 'Shanghanlun' and 'Jinguiyaolue'. As classified the comments by citation order, Jinguifang had 14 comments, Zhangzhongjing had 7 comments, Zhangzhongjing had 4 comments, and Jinguiyuhan had 1 comment. Comparing to the present version, 16 comments were qouted from Jinguiyaolue and 7 comments were quoted from Shanghanlun and 1 comment was quoted from Jinguiyuhanjing, but the source of 2 comments were not identified. Especially the 1 comment from Jinguiyuhanjing not only shows the importing date of the book into Korea, but also proofs the importance of the book which can refute the supposed source of the book as a reprint by Chenshijie in China. This results showed that Zhangzhongjing's books, which has imported before the early period of Chosun Dynasty, had an influence on Korean Medicine. As a result, further research on the medical books in the early period of Chosun Dynasty excepting Hyangyakjipsung-bang will be necessary.
