Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to this of electric potentials in human body and that measurements of electric potential at well(井穴) and sea(合穴) points in branches of the twelves meridians will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electric potentials in twenty healthy volunteers when they were sleeping or waking respectively, to do significance test for electric potential of meridian system between hand and foot meridian, yin and yang meridian, exterior and interior of the body, and among the five elements. Methods : When twenty healthy volunteers were sleeping, their electric potentials of well and sea points in branches of the twelve meridians were simultaneously measured by physiograph. After a minute we measured them again, totally 5 times. And then when they were waking, their electric potentials were measured 5 times by the above method. Results : Measurements were analyzed by statistical t-test, we obtained that the left side electric potential of hand or yin meridian was significantly different from that of foot or yang meridian both sleeping and waking. The right side of electric potential was the same result as the left side's. Most of the t-test was significant between exterior and interior of the body, and among the five elements. That meaned that it was partly possible to apply the ancient theory of meridians to the study of electric potential at well and sea points in branches of the twelves meridians.

본고에서는 음양가(陰陽家)의 등장 과정과 아울러 묵가(墨家)의 음양오행론(陰陽五行論)을 제가(諸家)와의 비교를 통해서 살펴보았다. 사마천(司馬遷)이 열전(列傳)에서 시사한 바대로 추연(鄒衍)으로 대표되는 음양가는 당시 유가(儒家)와도 일정한 관련이 있었던 것으로 보인다. 음양 관념은 본래 햇빛과 관련이 있었지만 전국 중기 이후 기(氣), 혹은 도(道) 관념과 연계되면서 점점 추상화되었다. 오행 관념 또한 본래 일상생활에 필수적인 오재(五材) 관념에서 출발하여 인간과 자연의 모든 것을 포괄하는 분류 기준으로 발전하였다. 오덕종시설(五德終始說)로 대표되는 추연을 비롯한 음양가 혹은 음양오행가의 사상은 근본적으로 왕조 교체의 법칙성을 도출하기 위한 것이었다. 그러나 이러한 관점은 전국말에 이르기까지 백가쟁명의 주제로서 부각되지 못하였다. 비록 제가에서 공통적으로 음양오행론에 대한 기본적인 이해를 전제로 그것을 활용하고 있는 것은 사실이지만 각각의 사상체계에 연계되지 못하였다. 묵가 또한 음양오행 관념을 수용하고 군사학 방면에 활용하면서도 일관되게 합리적인 관점을 유지하고 있다. 이것은 제가의 현실인식과 역사관의 차이에서 근본적인 원인을 찾을 수 있을 것이다.

오행(五行)이란 만물을 형성하는 다섯 원소(元素)로 인간 삶의 불가결한 요소라는 점에서 상징화(象徵化)되었다. 또 각각의 특유한 기(氣)는 만물의 존재(存在)와 작용(作用)의 유래(由來)를 설명하는 데 활용되었다. 오행이론(五行理論)은 오행의 상생·상극(上生·相剋), 오행 자체, 간지오행(干支五行)의 결합, 오행의 왕상휴수사(旺相休囚死), 오행과 음양(陰陽) 등 여러 가지 형태로 변화·활용될 수 있다. 특히 『협길통의(協吉通義)』 본원일(本原一)에서는 5행(五行), 간지5행(干支五行), 5행용사(五行用事), 5행생왕(五行生旺), 3합(三合), 6합(六合), 5합화기(五合化氣)등으로 세분하여 다루고 있으므로 이를 분석·활용하면 오행이론(五行理論)만으로 명(命)을 볼 수도 있고 다른 이론(理論)과 결합하여 보다 세밀한 간명(看命)을 할 수 있게 된다.

Dreams are experiences of life that is recognized to have taken place in .the mind while asleep. The phenomenon of dreams is occured by external stimuli such as somatic factor and emotion-arousing pre-sleep stimuli. The contents of dreams reflect the dreamer's unique psychic situation, we can view them from category of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements(陰陽五行). Also dreams are characterized by an objectivity that provides whatever in necessary for psychic balance, regardless of the ego's wishes. Hence dreams are objective sources of psychotherapy. The doctor must not treat patient by the doctor's subject mind. The Orient has taken the idea that human beings have the divine center in the heart, so dreams in the psychotherapy of the oriental medicine are more valuable as representation of inner world. The images of dream are classified as the deficiency and excessiveness of Yin-Ki and Yang-Ki of the internal organs, an property and source of stimulus. Dream applies to diagnose the disease of internal organs and to decide to the method of medical treatment.

When people discuss the continental cultural elements in the ancient East Asian culture, people always attach great importance to the two major cultures of Confucianism and Taoism, but offer little explanation to the significant influence of the theory of yin and yang, the important philosophical base of the two major cultures. The theory of yin and yang, existing as the theoretical source at a profounder level, possesses philosophical connotations that are always embedded into the mainstream of thought, religions and customs, displaying its unique glamour in its unique way. Its influence is more than that, however. It has exerted far-reaching influence on and is of significant importance to the development of the ancient culture of East Asia. This article aims at exploring this field of study. After the erudite scholar of The Five Classics made a voyage to the east in the early sixth century, The Book of Changes, the most important Chinese ancient classic expounding the theory of yin and yang, started to circulate among the Japanese court, via Baiji in the Korea Peninsula. As a result, the theory of yin and yang found its way to Japan. Examining the spreading channels, we learn that the theory's dissemination was largely related to the activities of Buddhist monks. Shoutoku Prince, regent of Japan at the time, was himself an enthusiastic supporter of Buddhism and was excelled in the study of The Book of Changes and the theory of yin and yang. In the Twelve Ranks System and Seventeen-article Constitution promulgated by Shoutoku Prince, the influence of the theory of yin and yang and of the theory of the five elements can be visibly discerned. This obviously proves the sublime status of the Chinese theory of yin and yang in Japan, thanks to the victory of the political clique that adored Buddhism. In the shaping course of ancient Japanese culture, the theory of yin and yang served as an important philosophical source of its development. Mythology based on Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, two earliest Japanese books that exist today, record mythological stories about the emergence of the Japanese nation. The notion about the birth of heaven and earth and the forming of Japanese Shinto, expressed in the mythological stories, not only tell us the source and historical progress of the Japanese nation but also the nation's world outlook in the transition from barbarian period to civilized period, as well as the basis for its philosophical thinking. All these were marked with profound influence of the Chinese theory of yin and yang. The theory of yin and yang, as one of the ancient Chinese academic thoughts, was accepted asa political belief when it first spread to Japan. The emergence and establishment of both the Mikado system and the centralized regime in ancient Japan drew largely on the theory of yin and yang and adopted it as an important philosophical basis to deify and aggrandize the "imperial power" so as to protect the authority of the imperial ruling and consolidate the established regime. Following the continuous strengthening and expansion of the centralized state power, the theory of yin and yang was further employed, and gradually "hidden" in Japanese culture with the passage of time, finally becoming the edge tool of ancient Japanese Mikados in exercising political power and controlling the country.

Objectives : This paper aims to investigate the role of the sweet flavor within the contexts of 'pungent and sweet becoming Yang' and 'sour and sweet becoming Yin' and the meaning of the two concepts. Methods : Related contents in databases including the Siqu Quanshu were searched with 'pungent and sweet becoming Yang' and 'sour and sweet becoming Yin', whose understanding and application were examined. Results & Conclusions : The theories of 'pungent and sweet becoming Yang' and 'sour and sweet becoming Yin' originate from Cheng Wuji's comparison of the Gancaoqianjiangtang and Shaoyaogancaotang in the 29th verse of the Shanghanlun. The two terms first appeared in the Qing period among the Wenbing school. In other medical texts, the combination with sweet flavors could be found with salty, bitter and bland flavors other than with pungent and sour. The role of the sweet flavor in 'pungent and sweet becoming Yang' and 'sour and sweet becoming Yin' is to accomplish the dispersing and converging action slowly and effectively, by supplying energy in small amounts preventing it from happening too quickly, corresponding to its Earth nature of the Five Elements which harmonizes the Yin and Yang. While 'becoming Yin' and 'becoming Yang' could be understood as tonifying Yin and Yang, it could also be understood as 'doing Yin' and 'doing Yang', The specific actions differ according to herb and mixture. The point of distinction between the aforementioned tonification and that of medicinals that have Yin and Yang tonifying properties is that due to the other flavor that is matched with the sweet flavor, Qi is given motility which allows for tonification without stagnation.

With regard of YinYang and Five Elements Theory, predominance of Yin or Yang is a key point to discuss Nourishin Ying or Reinforcing Yang. There are two major branches about studying predominance of Yin or Yang. Zhu Danxi advocated the theory that Yang was always in excess while Yin was often deficient, and thus belonged to the School for Nourishing the Yin. Zhang Jie-bin advocated that Yang is easily deficient while Yin is easily sufficient. It seems that they studied Wang Bing's 'Ministerial fire rule on all thing instead of Imperial Fire' and right Kidney Mingmen theory in Nan Jing, which are both related to the First Yang in the Book of Changes and say Mingmen fire is the host of the body. Zhu Danxi insisted that Mingmen fire was easily in excess and likely to become pathogenic fire while Water phase was easily in deficiency, so the doctors should nourish Yin and suppress Yang. Zhang Jie-bin said that Mingmen fire is vulnerable so the doctors should fortify yang and reinforce Mingmen fire. Suk Gock Master Lee thought that the Book of Changes and Nei Jing had a viewpoint of Fortify Yang as regards of some distinguished Physicians' articles about predominance of YinYang. The author's going to discribe Suk Gock's Fortify Yang Theory with viewpoints of Nei Jing and the Book of Changes.

"여씨춘추(呂氏春秋)"는 선진(先秦) 제가(諸家)의 사상을 집대성하고 고래(古來)의 음양(陰陽)과 오행(五行)의 범주(範疇)를 활용하여 천지인(天地人) 삼위일체(三位一體)의 도식을 수립하였다. 이것은 인간을 중심으로 시간과 공간, 하늘과 땅의 사물을 유기적으로 연계시킨 것으로 통일제국을 위한 설계도라고 평가할 수 있다. 구체적으로는 음양과 오행을 결합시켜 우주 만물을 분류하고 도식화하면서 동시에 인사(人事)와 연계시켰다. 내용상으로는 정치, 경제, 사회, 군사, 천문, 지리, 의학, 교육, 역사 등 거의 모든 학문 분야를 포괄하고 있다. 특히 전국기에 유행하였던 "일주서(逸周書)", "하소정(夏小正)", "황제사경(黃帝四經)" 등의 문헌과 추연(鄒衍)을 비롯한 직하학자들의 사상이 반영된 "관자(管子)"에 보이는 月令사상을 종합하였다. 나아가 그것을 구체화 시킨 음양(陰陽) 형덕(刑德)사상, 현실 정치(政治)의 득실(得失)과 연계된 재이설(災異說)을 구체화하고 체계화하였다. 그러나 내용과 형식면에서 고래의 사상과 문헌을 단순히 집록한 것이 아니라 1년 12개월의 방식을 채택하고 정치 사회의 제반 분야로 정령을 확대하였다. 십이기(十二紀)에서는 음양(陰陽)과 오행(五行), 천간(天干)과지지(地支)를 결합시키고, 그 과정에서 야기되는 모순을 해고자 계하(季夏)에 중앙(中央) 토(土)를 배당하고 다른 시절과 마찬가지로 그에 해당하는 정령을 배당함으로써 월령 사상을 완성시켰다. 따라서 "여씨춘추"의 음양 오행론 가운데 일부는 비록 선진 제자서에 산견되는 것이지만 전체를 통일적으로 체계화한 것은 사상사적으로 중대한 의미를 지닌다. 무엇보다도 음양과 오행의 결합에 근거한 월령사상은 양자의 물리적 결합에 머물지 않고, 구체적으로 백성의 측면에서의 농업(農業) 부문과 지도자의 측면에서의 정치(政治)라는 두 측면에서 질적으로 정밀화되었음을 확인할 수 있다. 예컨대 재이설의 근원은 춘추시대에까지 거슬러 올라갈 수 있지만, 정치와 직접적으로 연계된 것은 월령사상과 궤도를 함께한다.

The paper is concerned about the discovery of new physics of the old oriental philosophy of the yin-Yang '||'&'||' five elements. the physical properties of Five Elements are defined, similarly as in thermodynamics, as five different characteristic state in a cyclic system of nature or a human body. Wood is defined as "warm and soft", Fire as "hot and dispersive", Earth as "agglomerating and sticky", Metal as "tensile and crystallizing", and Water as "cool and slippery" state, respectively. Based on the physics of Five Elements and Qi channel theory, five different constitution classification s are made according to the shape of human face, such as long, inverse triangle, circle, square, and triangle geometry, respectively.Since the constitution implies the relative size or strength of 5 major organs, this theory can be applies successfully to the prediction of the susceptibility to specific diseases as well as the analyses of personal character such as emotion and sensibility. The specific character is analyzed with four different aspects; that is, the first and second are caused by the positive and negative side of the strongest organ, the third character by determined the weakest organ, and finally the fourth by the abnormal psychology due to serious illness.bnormal psychology due to serious illness.
