Objective : This study is about how the theory on ten kinds of prescriptions has been developed and how it has been applied for in prescription books and clinical texts. Methods : I made a comparison of this theory in prescriptions books and clinical texts. After it, I investigated the developing history based on it. Results and Conclusion : This theory had been used for classification of not prescription but herb, until Cho Gil(趙佶) and Seong Mugi(成無已) enlarged its meanings. The first mention about it was made by Jin Janggi(陳藏器). Yu Wanso(劉完素) gave it more definite meanings by showing prescription examples than before. Jang Jahwa(張子和) corrected what Yu Wanso explained. Besides, someone for example, Gu Jongseok(寇宗奭), Mok Huiong(繆希雍), Seo Chunbo(徐春甫), and so on added some kinds of prescription.

The Summary Handbook of Acupuncture and Moxibustion (鍼灸要覽) (SHAM) was written by an unknown folk healer who learned acupuncture about 100 years ago in Korea. The book discusses 79 acupoints and includes a table of contents, a text, and a pair of acupoint charts. The acupoints in the book are classed under two headings, 49 acupoints of 14 meridians and 33 acupoints. A number of the acupoints such as Gichoong (氣忠), Eumheobong (陰虛峰), Goowa (口卧), Cheonryang (天良) did not fit the then existing meridian system and were newly uncovered by the authors. The book also discusses needle insertion depth in a way that is quite different from how insertion depth is understood by clinicians today. Books such as SHAM that record new acupoints and treatments are rare among Korea's existing medical and clinical books and can be said to be very important in terms of medical history.

Simpo(心包. Pericardium) was described early in "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)". But there has been a lot of criticisms about this organ. Jinsatak(陳士鐸) is one of famous doctors in Cheong(淸) dynasty. He suggested a creative Oriental medical theory and he did a profound research on Simpo(心包). "Oegyeongmieon(外經微言)" is one of his books recording his oriental medical theory in detail so it is the good documentary record for observing his theory of the Simpo(心包). So we looked into his theory of Simpo(心包) in "Oegyeongmieon(外經微言)" and also referred to his other books. You might be able to get a viewpoint of utilizing Simpo(心包) in several ways through reading this paper.

The popular edition of "Hwangjenaegyeong somun(黄帝内經 素問)" was established by Wangbing(王冰)'s revising and annexing notes in the Dang(唐) Period. He revised "Jeonwongibon(全元起本)" which became the edition we currently know widely. To know how "Somun(素問)" had been handed down from the Su(隋) Period to the Dang(唐) Period before the establishment of Wangbing(王冰) 's edition, we reviewed the citation of "Somun" in the four books: "Ohaengdaeui(五行大義)", "Jebyeongwonhuron(諸病源候論)", "Sagijeong-ui(史記正義)", and "Oedaebiyobang(外臺秘要方)". As a result, it has been discovered that even if the reference was written as "Hwangjesomun(黄帝素問)" or "Somun(素問)", they did not correspond with the currently established "Somun(素問)" in many cases. On the other hand, there were identical sentences to the current "Somun(素問)" among the cited parts; whereas "Yeolron(熱論)" and "Jahakron(刺瘧論)" were often cited in the medical books such as "Jebyeongwonhuron(諸病源候論)" and "Oedaebiyobang(外臺秘要方)", "Yeolron(熱論)" and "Jahakron(刺瘧論)" were often cited. Thus, we can suggest that the relevant content of "Somun(素問)" should be considered important in the period in question and further that the concept of disease symptom might have changed in those days.

"Saengsanbibang" is Obsterics technical books published in 1915. After the publishing of first edition, it was published 15 times so I supposed that this book was very popular in that times. And this book is also valuable because Obsterics books written in Korea are uncommon. But there had not been enough detailed study on this book, so I tried to study on the formation of this book. For that, I compared the formation between this book and 4 kinds of typical Obsterics technical books in Qing dynasty, "Taesansimbub", "Taesanbiseo", "Daesaengyoji", and "Dalsaengpyeon". As the result, "Saengsanbibang" refered to "Dalsaengpyeon" for the contents that the reason and prevention of distocia, the basic principle for antenatal care, and the formulae to tonify blood. The contents that the taking methods of Saenhwatang (生化湯) accroding to the diseases, are mainly affected by "Taesanbiseo". Some contents which had been refered in "Taesansimbub", "Daesaengyoji" weren't refered to "Saengsanbibang". So "Saengsanbibang" is valuable because this book easily summarized the medical knowledge for spreading it to ordinary people. I look forward to more specific study for "Saengsanbibang".

Contrary to general adults, old people have their own physiological and pathological characteristics. Therefore, treatments for the elderly should be different form those for others in younger generation. Alimentotherapy, which means the treatment or prevention by means of food, is one of the best way to deal with geriatrics that are chronic, multiple. Korea has its tradition and plenty of information in this field. Even in the early ChoSun Dynasty, when people suffered from lack of proper medical care, physicians used dietary prescriptions as active treatments, Therefore, we can find lots of cases in "Hyangyak-jibseogbang" and "Euibangyoochui" which are medical books published at that time. After that, a specialized alimentotherapy book, "Sikryochanyo" was written based on that kind of total medical volumes. With development of society, economy. and medical science, alimentotherapy has grown remarkably. Unlike in the early Chosun Dynasty, it was used positively for promoting general health condition and practiced as supportive method for medication in the late Chosun Dynasty. Considering the characteristics of the elderly, alimentotherapy is the most effective way to keep them healthy and can also used with medication.
