Today, many people are more interested in preventing the disease than curing it. Chi-Kung (ѨÍí) is the way of Life-Cultivation (å×ßæÛö) peculiar to the orient, it is reported in china that Chi-Kung has an excellent curative value not only in curing the disease but also in preventing it. But the full-scale study of Chi-Kung is not be made up to now in Korea, so I studied the developmental history of chinese Chi-Kung through the oriental medical books. From this study, I reached the following conclusions ; 1. Chi-Kung is naturally derived from the self-preservation instinct to adapt oneself to circumstances of the nature, but in the investigation from the documentational records, it is originated in the treatment method of the Sam-Huang-O-Jae (ß²üÕçéð¨ )period to cure the abnormal circulation of the vital force and blood caused by damp (ã¥). 2. As the principle and the method of the Life-Cultivation of the Chun-chu-Jeon-Kook (õðõÕîúÏÐ) periods were recorded in Huang-Jae-Nai-Gyung (üÜð¨Ò®ÌÓ) detailly and the remedy examples by ancient Chi-Kung such as Tao-Yin (ÓôìÚ), Haeng-Chi (ú¼Ñ¨) were presented, we considered that theoretical basis of the development of Life-cultivation and Chi-Kung study was furnished in that period. 3. A famous doctor, Hwa-Ta (ü¤öí) lived in Han dynasty, researched the theory and practice of Tao-Yin transmitted from the former generations, as that result, he formed a kind of medical gymnastics what is called O-Keum-Hi (çéÐØýô). It is considered that 'O-Keum-Hi' is a Tao-Yin method developed more practically and systemetically than the Tao-Yin appeared in the 'Jang-Ja' (íöí) or 'Hoy-Nam-Ja' (üçÑõí). 4. In Wui-Jin-Nambook Jo (êàòÌÑõÝÁðÈ) periods, the contents of Chi-Kung were more abundant under the influence of Buddhism (ÝÖÎç) and Taoism (Ô³Îç). Galhong (Êçûó), the author of 'Po-Bak-Ja' (øÙÚÓí) arranged the ancient Chi-Kung method systematically first of all, Tao-Goeng-Gyung (Ô¶ÎÛÌØ), the author of 'Yang-Seong-Yeun-Myung-Rok' (å×àõæÅÙ¤Öâ) recorded the 'Yook-Ja-Geul' (ë»í®ÌÁ) first time. 5. There is a new development of Chi-Kung therapy in Soo-Tang-Odae (âÉÓÐçéÓÛ) pefiods, especially So-Won-Bang (áµêªÛ°), the author of 'Jey-Byung-Won-Hwu-Ron' (ð³Ü»ê¹ý¦Öå) collected aimost all of the Chi-Kung method, for curing the disease formed before soo (âÉ) period. From that fact, we supposed that Chi-Kung was utilized more widely in curing the disease. 6. 'So-Ju-Cheon-Hwa-Hu-Peob' (á³ñ²ô¸ûýý¦Ûö) was adopted as the best orthodox approach under the influence of Nae-Tan-Taoist (Ô³ÎçÒ®Ó¡ùÊ÷ï) in Song-Keum-Won (áäÐÝêª) periods, especially in the song dynasty, 'Pal-Dan-Geum' (ø¢Ó«ÐÞ) was appeared and assignment of six-Chi (ë»Ñ¨) for bowel and viscera in the 'Yook-Ja-Geul' (ë»í®ÌÁ) was decided firmly, that is to say Lung-Si (øË-?), Heart-Kha (ãý-ʧ), Spleen-Hoa (Þ¡-û¼), Liver-Hoe (ÊÜ-úÆ), Kidneychui (úç-ö£), Three-Burner-shi (ß²õ¥-?). 7. In Myung-Cheong (Ù¥ôè) periods, The general practitioner applied the principle of 'Byun-Jeng-Ron-Chi' (Ü©ñûÖåö½) to the Chi-Kung field, and after Myeong dynasty the style of doing 'Yook-Ja-Gyel' (ë»í®ÌÁ) was developed to the moving style. 8. Today, in china, the study on the Chi-Kung is being progressed constantly under the positive assistance of government, Chi-Kung-Hak (ѨÍíùÊ) has taking its place as a branch of study step by step. It is considered that the establishment of Chi-Kung-Hak Classroom (ѨÍíùÊ?ãø) and Medical Chi-Kung Center (ѨÍíèþÛöãø) for special and systematic research are needed, at the same time the settlement of institutional system for training the Chi-Kung technician (ѨÍíÞÔ) is also needed.
