  • The aim of this study was to analyze the differences between Qigong and Daoyin as a therapeutic exercise of traditional Korean medicine. We searched Pubmed and Chinese Academic Journals(CAJ) over time periods from their inception to August 13th, 2013. We analyzed the systematic reviews of Qigong and clinical trials of Daoyin. Total 12 Qigong and 16 Daoyin(11 Baduanjin, 4 Wuqinxi, 1 unspecified type of Daoyin) articles were met our inclusion criteria. As the results of our analyzation, Qigong was dominant in chronic or incurable disease. On the other hand, Daoyin was dominant in internal diseases or functional improving of internal organs. As using "Qi" is in common between Qigong and Daoyin, they have not been differentiated in world of traditional Korean medicine. However, it could be better to use the Qigong and Daoyin according to their effectual difference.

A Study of the Traditional Korean Medicine Focusing on Yookdaesungsang(六大成象) in "Hoesamgyeong(會三經)" ("회삼경(會三經)"의 육대성상(六大成象)을 중심(中心)으로 한 한의학적(韓醫學的) 연구(硏究))

  • This study is based on "Hoesamgyeong(會三經)", the interpretation of the Lecture on Truth of "Samilshingo(三一神誥:Korea's national scripture)". And the goal of this study is to arrange theoretical system of Korean traditional qigong training by doing research on the principles of qigong that are contained in Yookdaesungsang(六大成象) on the basis of Traditional Korean Medicine. Yookdaesungsang(六大成象) is the ideas that appeared for the first time in "Hoesamgyeong(會三經)". Yookdaesungsang(六大成象) refers to Kong(空), Yol(熱), Jin(震), Seup(濕), Han(寒) and Ko(固), which mean six elements of nature. And they correspond with Sung(性), Myoung(命), Jung(精), Sim(心), Ki(氣) and Shin(身) respectively, which are fundamental components of human beings according to the Lecture on Truth of "Samilshingo(三一神誥)". This has a thread of connection with the ideas of 'the unity of nature and human beings(天人合一)' or 'the correspondence between nature and human beings(天人相應)' in Traditional Korean Medicine. From the standpoint of modern science, what are more tangible such as Seup(濕), Han(寒), and Ko(固) are considered as changes in states of matter by activities, while what are relatively intangible such as Kong(空), Yol(熱), and Jin(震) are regarded as wave energy. And in the ideas of three yin(三陰) and three yang(三陽), on which the meridian system of Traditional Korean Medicine is based, Taeyang(太陽)-Soeum(少陰), Yangmyung(陽明)-Taeeum(太陰), and Soyang(少陽)-Gweoleum(厥陰) are respectively ins and outs of the human body and they keep the balance between yin and yang such as cold(寒)-hot(熱), dry(燥)-wet(濕), and slow(緩)-fast(急). As these cold(寒)-hot(熱), dry(燥)-wet(濕), and slow(緩)-fast(急) correspond with Han(寒)-Yol(熱), Jin(震)-Seup(濕), and Kong(空)-Ko(固), the correlation between Yookdaesungsang(六大成象) and the meridian system can be ascertained. As mentioned above, the principles of Qigong in "Hoesamgyeong(會三經)" are based on traditional ideas and accord closely with the principles of Traditional Korean Medicine. Therefore, further researches on the correlations between principles of Qigong unique to Korean tradition and Traditional Korean Medicine are required.

  • Background : Qigong is an exercise therapy based on the principles of Traditional East Asian Medicine. The exercises combine the practice of motion and breathing, both guided by mental imagery. Beneficial effects of qigong have been reported on a variety of complaints in chronically ill patients and on gait imbalance in the elderly. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects neurophysiological function, movement abilities, and quality of life. Objectives : We developed a qigong program based on the Traditional East Asian medical theory regarding the improvement of clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Methods and Results : Our qigong program consists of three parts. The first one includes movements which stimulate the meridians that run from the toes to the top of the head. The second one is composed of breathing and qigong movements that create harmony and balance with the circulation of Qi and blood on the Meridians. The third is a stage of finger pressure therapy and massage from Daoyin medical qigong to maintain meridian stability. Conclusions : These qigong program would help relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients.

Study on the Character of the Korean Traditional Qigong - The research of the origin of Qigong derived from the Korean concept of mystic hermits [xian] - (한국 기공의 정체성에 관한 연구 -신선가를 중심으로 본 기공의 기원에 관한 고찰-)

  • Oriental Medicine has long been centered around Qi[vital force], hence adopting Qigong and the art of regimen for training the body and relaxing the mind so as to prevent and heal illness. It has not been such a long time since Qigong method had been performed and spot-lighted out of numerous methods in Oriental Medicine. In China and Korea alone, diverse cases and papers are published, only revealing so many steps toward the establishment of diachronic description, theoretical foundation, and clinical practice. Historical approach is an essential part of recognizing a subject. When you step along its path and comprehend what it were, you can also grasp what it is and what it will be. Establishment of Qigong history is also vital to research Qigong in theory and practice. Generally, Qigong was transmitted from China to Korea, whereas the opposite explanation, that it originated from Korean Taoism, is supported by the minority based on certain texts concerning ancient history. In this paper, I support the theory of Korean originality based on the following grounds: First, the location of Qi and Van, the motherland of Chinese Taoism provides a strong evidence that Korean tradition had been absorbed by them and formed the tradition of mystic hermits(shenxian). Second, Guangchengzi, the originator of mystic hermits, is from Dongyi tribe according to Cheonghakjib. Third, the myth of Dangun has pure form of unique Korean folklore possessing the distinctive feature of mystic hermits tradition, uninfluenced by Chinese Taoism. Fourth, in ideographical aspect, the character 'xian(仙)', was invented as the Korean concept of mystic hermits[xian] was flowed in to China. Moreover, There is high probability that it was based on the concept of mystic hermits shown in the myth of Dangun in Its original formation. Fifth, considering the relation between wild ginseng and the tradition of mystic hermits, that tradition can be formed very naturally in Korean area. Sixth, the analogical similarity between archetype of Korean tradition and Taoistic trilogy, the foundational idea of the tradition, gives genealogical basis to its origin. Seventh, the tradition of mystic hermits and Shamanism, which constitues the prototype of Korean mind as an original religious tradition, are undiscernible in their root In Conclusion, We can reach the idea that the origin of Qigong derives from Korean tradition, not that of China. The tradition of mystic hermits was transformed to ego-centric seclusionism when it faced the anarchy of Warring states period in China, whereas it was developed into humane proriety and worship of Heaven base on the programme of 'universal fraternity in pursuit of interst for man'. In prospect, it is highly required to develop and interpret traditional discipline methods in Korea so as to utilize them for clinical Qigong in practice.

  • Background : Qigong is an energy-healing intervention used to prevent and cure ailments and to improve health through regular practice. Although qigong-neither itself nor its postulated mechanism of action-are within the paradigm of modern Western medical science, its effects on the human body could be possible. Objectives : This study aims to review the bibliography, biological responses and therapeutic effects of Qigong. In the process, this review will grasp trends in this field of studies and will direct further researches into the right direction. Method : The computerized Korean databases were searched from their respective inceptions up to January 2008. The search terms used were 'qi', 'qigong', 'doin', 'training', 'bioenergy', 'life nurturing' and random or Korean language terms related to qigong. Several specialized journals were also manually searched for relevant articles. Result : Since the 1990s, Qigong papers in the Korean Literature are increased. The articles on Korean traditional medicine had been published more than those on physical education or nursing etc. However, since the majority of the trials determine questionnaire, it was difficult to determine the efficacy of a specific intervention. The methodological quality of the trials was generally low (Jadad score: mean, 1.3; range, 1 to 4), questioning their reliability. Conclusions : More profound studies for Qigong are needed. Further rigorous clinical trials with more objective outcome measures that include sham procedures should be performed. Specifically, we think it should be clinical studies and qualitative research methods for evaluation are needed.
