This study was undertaken to apply the yin-yang theory in action potential. In order to apply the yin-yang theory in action potential, nature of yin and yang, interrelation of yin and yang and action potential in cell were reviewed. According to the yin-yang theory, inner cellular space corresponds to yin, but outer cellular space corresponds to yang. If we classify ions in intracellular fluid or extracellular fluid by nature of yin and yang, potassium(K+) corresponds to yang within yin(陰中之陽), protein(Pr-) corresponds to yin within yin(陰中之陰) in intracellular fluid, and sodium(Na+) corresponds to yang within yang(陽中之陽), chloride(Cl-) corresponds to yin within yang(陽中之陰) in extracellular fluid. Double donnan equilibrium and equilibrium potential were caused by intracellular anion(Pr-) and extracellular cation(Na+) are related with mutual rooting of yin and yang(陰陽互根) and opposition of yin and yang(陰陽對立). The influx and efflux of ion through cell membrane means waxing and waning of yin and yang(陰陽消長), the change of membrane potential means yin-yang conversion(陰陽轉化) during action potential.

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of Yin and Yang, in the era of the Early China, applies to many more philosophical categories than merely the relationship between the sunny side and the shady side of the sun. A whole series of possible interactions between the Yin and Yang in life is contained in the Chinese Book of Changes, the I Ching. The philosophical theory and the origin of natural sciences of the I Ching is imbued in the Nei Ching. having absorbed and developed the essence of Book of Changes, the Nei Ching reflects the spirit of science. Under the influence of Book of Changes, as well as its idea of Yin and Yang, peculiar at the time, the Nei Ching adapts the essences of the theory of Yin and Yang. The contribution made by the Nei Ching to the development of the philosophical concepts of Yin and Yang lies in that it combines those philosophical concepts with medicine and makes this the basic theory of Chinese medicine. In the Nei Ching, the Yin and Yang theory asserts that the human body is an organic whole, and there exists an organic connection between all tissues and structures. Therefore, the Yin and Yang functions as an essential life that plays a major role of the organic interrelation, the mutual control, and the mutual assistance. Yet, at the same time, each of them can be divided into the opposite aspects of yin and yang. Yin and yang depend on each other for existence. Without yin, there would be no yang, Without yang, there would be no yin. Neither can exist in isolation. Thus the interrelation of Yin and Yang is premised on the two opposite forces and aspects as the underlying cause of all change of Yin and Yang.

Objectives : Based on the analysis of Yin-Yang[음양] characteristics and symptoms, each person is classified into Yin-Yang. Also the validity of the result is statistically analized. Methods : From Feb. to May. 2003, the data were collected through a questionnaire given to 690 patients. The questionnaire was composed of 34 items which were about personality, habit, sweat, response to coldness, thirst, bowel, urine, physical shape, and menstruation for women only. SD(Semantic Differential Technique) used for each item, each item is measured as a contrast of two opposite symptoms. Reliability analysis was used to select items and categories. Based on means of items in each category the Yin-Yang index was developed. The validity of Yin-Yang index was investigated using classification and clustering analysis. In statistical analysis, SPSS V10.0.7 PC was used. Results : The obtained results are summarized as follows: 1) We constructed Yin-Yang index based on the middle point of the sum of categorical means. Then we classified each person into Yin or Yang. 2) To investigate the validity of the distribution of personal Yin-Yang degree, the crosstabulation of results from clustering and classification was used. The hit ratio for classification was much higher than Maximum Chance Criterion($C_{max}$), and concurrence in crosstabulation was successful. Therefore we can infer that the distribution of Yin-Yang was valid. Conclusions : Based on Yin-Yang characteristics and symptoms, we was analyzed personal degree of Yin-Yang, and confirmed the validity of its distribution. Therefore this index can be used further for Bian-Zheng [변증] and classification of the constitution.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the term Yin-Yang and Sasang categorized in the book "Huangdineijing". In order to investigate how the terms are used, we reviewed the text including the terms expressed in the manner of [(Yin/Yang) within (Yin/Yang)] and [Sasang]. We found three forms of expressions; [(Yin/Yang) within (Yin/Yang)], [Sasang], [(Sasang) within (Yin/Yang)]. Two paragraphs of [(Yin/Yang) within (Yin/Yang)] was found in one chapter, two paragraphs of [(Sasang)] was found in two chapters, and three paragraphs of [(Sasang) within (Yin/Yang)] was found in three chapters. We found five types of relation between [(Yin/Yang) within (Yin/Yang)], [Sasang], and five phases in "Huangdi neijing" as follows; (1) Yang within Yin, lesser Yang, and wood (2) Yang within Yang, greater Yang, and fire (3) ( ), ( ), and extreme Yin (4) Yin within Yang, lesser Yin, and metal, and (5) Yin within Yin, greater Yin, and water. And, as for the [(Yin/Yang) within (Yin/Yang)] and [(Sasang) within (Yin/Yang)], the classification criteria for Yin-Yang were brightness, abdomen/back or lumbar. The order of Sasang with the description form of [Sasang] or [(Sasang) within (Yin/Yang)] in "Siqi Tiaoshen Dalun" and "Liu Jie ZangXiang Theory" was lesser Yang, greater Yang, greater Yin, and lesser Yin, which is based on the meridian system or a plant-shaped change order. We discussed the results and its implication for the analysis of medical classics with the consideration of previous studies on Yin-Yang theories in "Huangdi neijing".

지금까지는 주돈이의 <태극도>가 『주역참동계』에서 연원한다는 학설이 정설처럼 인식되었다. 그러나 최근 몇몇 학자들은 기존의 학설에 의문을 제기하면서 새로운 논쟁이 일었다. 이들은 <태극도>의 『주역참동계』 연원설에서 청대 학자들이 근거로 사용한 책들과 도상이 주돈이 이후의 것이거나, <태극도>에 기초해서 후대에 그려진 것임을 주장한다. 반면에 최근 학자들의 주장에서 <태극도>의 『주역참동계』 연원설을 최초로 제기한 남송 시대의 주진(朱震)과 양갑(楊甲)의 학설은 해명하지 못하였다. 이들 남송 시대 학자들은 주돈이와 주희 사이에서 활동했던 인물들이다. 이러한 문제를 다른 각도에서 접근해 보았다. 주돈이의 <태극도>는 태극-음양-오행의 체계를 골자로 한다. 따라서 이 체계가 탄생하는 과정에서 『주역참동계』가 직접 연관이 있음을 해명하고자 하였다. 태극-음양-오행의 체계 형성 과정은 한대의 종교적 사상적 영향에 의한 것이다. 한무제의 태일신(太一神) 신학체계에서 태일-음양-오행의 체계가 신학적으로 정립된다. 동중서에 의해 유학의 육예(六藝) 해석에 음양오행이 도입되며, 이는 한대 역학자들이 『주역』 해석에 오행을 개입하게 하는 사상적 흐름을 형성한다. 그러나 한대 역학자들은 음양재 이설을 중심으로 하였기에 태일-음양-오행의 체계를 형성하지 못했다. 그러나 동한시기에 쓰여진 『주역참동계』는 한 대 역학자들이 『주역』을 해석한 다양한 『역위(易緯)』 이론과 연단 이론을 결합하면서, 태일-음양-오행의 체계를 사상적으로 형성한다. 이때 『주역참동계』는 '감리위역설(坎離爲易說)'을 중심으로 한 역학 이론을 적용했기 때문이었다. 물론 『주역참동계』와 그 주석들에는 <태극도>와 같은 도상은 나타나지 않는다. 하지만 '감리위역설'을 중심으로 한 태일-음양-오행의 체계가 나타날 뿐만 아니라, <태극도>를 구성하는 도상의 부분들을 그려낼 수 있는 내용은 존재한다. 이 체계에서 '태극'이 아니라 '태일'이 사용되었다. 하지만 '태일'을 '태극'으로 해석할 사상적 이론은 등장하고 있었다. 한대 역학자들은 역에 원기(元氣) 개념을 적용하였고, 공영달에 의해 태극이 '원기'이자 '태일(太一)'이라고 정의하기에 이른다. 이러한 논의를 통해, 『주역참동계』가 <태극도>와 같은 도상을 담고 있지 않아도 태일(태극)-음양-오행의 체계를 형성하고 있으며. <태극도> 도상의 부분들을 그림으로 그려낼 수 있음을 해명하였다.

Objectives : This paper studied the different disease sites according to Yin and Yang deviation and the principal to applying the Five Shu Points acupuncture method to these sites of the Yin-Yang needling method as explained in the Shouyaogangrou chapter of the Lingshu. Methods : Of the seasonal needling method in the Neijing, the principle to managing the Five Shu Points and indications of each point were examined. Next, clinical applications of the Five Shu Points were analyzed. Descriptions of clinical expression were collected and examined to understand the underlying pattern. Results : If we connect the disease sites of the Yin-Yang needling method to the Five Shu Points needling method according to the seasonal changes, the Yang of Yin connects to Spring, Yin of Yang to Summer, Yang of Yang to Autumn, and Yin of Yin to Winter. Of the needling site, the collateral vessel is the collateral vessel of Spring, 'Meridian of Yin' is the meridian of the Yin domain or the meridian points of the Yin meridian. 'He of Yang' is the He point of the Yang meridian, and the Yin Xing and Shu are the Xing and Shu points of the Yin meridian. Upon examining cases in the Neijing where the Five Shu Points were applied, it could be found that the Xing and Shu points of the Yin meridian were used together, while the He point of the Yang meridian was used to eliminate Yang pathogen or to stimulate Yang qi, which matches the Yin-Yang needling method of the Shouyaogangrou chapter of the Lingshu. Conclusions : The Yin and Yang of the needling sites from the Yin-Yang needling method in the Shouyaogangrou chapter of the Lingshu refers to the Yin and Yang meridians, or the Yin and Yang domains. In the context of disease site description, the former Yin and Yang describes a spatial aspect, while the latter Yin and Yang refers to the vicissitudes of qi according to temporal change.

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.

동양전래의 음양사상(陰陽思想)은 예술의 모든 장르에서 발견할 수 있다. 그 가운데 디자인과 조형예술의 영역에서 본 음양사상(陰陽思想)은 우리의 관심을 크게 끌고 있으며 이의 발전적 연구와 응용은 디자인과 조형예술활동의 내용과 질을 더욱 풍부하게 해줄 것이다. 세계는 자기만의 독특한 사상이나 철학, 혹은 남과 차별화 된 내용으로 새로운 관심을 끌지 못하면 지금 너무 일반화되어있고 상식화되어있는 문화의 카테고리에서 벗어날 수가 없다. 또 문화의 중심에 서지 못하고 그 변두리에 서서 선진국 문화를 흉내내거나 그것을 추종만 하는 모습으로 전락할 수밖에 없다. 독자적, 창조적 문화인자(文化因子)를 찾아내어 이것을 더욱 높은 차원으로 개발할 때 우리의 문화적 자존심은 살아난다. 이런 의미에서 동양적 사고에 의존한 조형의 음양사상(陰陽思想)에 대한 연구는 아무리 강조하여도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 특히 조형예술분야에서의 음양사상의 연구는 단순한 조형예술분야의 영역을 넘어 인간의 삶에 필요한 모든 생활과 철학에 활기를 줄 것으로 기대된다.

In Korean Medicine (KM), the Yin-Yang doctrine is still used as a theoretical tool for understanding and explaining the clinical experiences. However, as the traditional culture declined in East Asia and the scientific culture took over, there was an increased negative view on the Yin-Yang doctrine, and thus a heightened distrust over KM. For KM to survive in an unfamiliar culture of science, a novel outlook on the Yin-Yang doctrine is needed. In this sense, I consider a thoroughly medical take on the Yin-Yang doctrine to be most important. The focus needs to be on the goals of medicine: this includes riddance of any discourses on Yin-Yang that cannot contribute to the goals, and an enhancement of the Yin-Yang concept as a rational and scientific terminology. One way to achieve this is by understanding Yin-Yang as a type of metaphor. The Yin-Yang doctrine that is utilized in KM corresponds well to the conceptual metaphor suggested by Lakoff and Johnson. As a metaphor, the Yin-Yang concept plays a role in structuring the target domain, that is life phenomena, metaphorically. Through the Yin-Yang metaphors, the life phenomena are understood as the Yin-Yang phenomena, and are systematically organized by the subcategories contained in the Yin-Yang doctrine. Understanding Yin-Yang as a metaphor is a good way to enhance the Yin-Yang concept and doctrine as a rational terminology and method.

Hwangjenegyeng somun. Treatise on the parting and Meeting of Yin-Yang is the theory of the parting and meeting about Yin-Yang. It is harmonized treatise Yin-Yang and systemic constant. Taechung and Gwangmyeng are the concretely applied form of the parting and meeting of Yin-Yang at human body. The parting and Meeting of Three-Yin- Three-Yang has six types symbols of circulated Yin-Yang. They have Six-meeting space structure as match like up-down, backside and front-side, left-side and right-side. These pairs express symbolized meaning of creation of Saeng-jang-shu-chang and also apply the same things. Somum Treatise on the Parting and Meeting of Yin-Yang explains acting of human body by the parting and meeting of Three-yin-three-yang as six structures of Opening-covering-axis of Three-yin-three-yang. This principal is expression of the parting and meeting of Yin-Yang and concretes the opening and closing of circulation process for symmetry by each acting of Three-yin-three-yang. As result. the match of six-meeting in space structure and the Opening-covering-axis of Three-yin-three-yang are the basic principal of oriental medicine about the treatise of Gyeng-Lak and the treatise of Six-Gyeng of Sanghanlon.
