I have studied the relation between a Taoist(Գʫ) and the oriental medicine(ùÛì¢ùÊ), it is summerized as following. 1. According to the relation between a Taoist(Գʫ) and the oriental medicine, Lao-tzu(ÒÇí)' mathematical principle that had an influence on Three yin-three yang(ß²ëäß²åÕ) theory of the oriental medicine, idea of natural philosopy(í»æÔÙíêÓ) and the freedom from avarace(Ùíé¯) on the oriental medicine. 2. Vital essence and energy theory(ïñѨàâ) in a Taoist not only can be seen in Lao-tzu' Do dug gyung(ÒÇíÔ³ÓìÌè), Maengza(Øëí), Guanza(ηí), but also its principle has something to do with Nei Ching's Vital essence and energy theory(ïñѨàâ). 3. Danjungpa(Ó¡ð£÷ï) can be divided into Naedansul(Ò®Ó¡âú) which preserves through the breath and Oedansul(èâÓ¡âú) which makes one a Taoist hermit. If he takes magic portions(ÐÝÓ¡), they had a great effect on Yangsanghak(å×ßæùÊ) and was actually concerned with oriental doctors who was known to us. 4. If medicine of Taoism is classified, it can be divided into three categories. Boiled solution(Êääû), Pharmacopea "Ben cao"(Üâõ®), Acupuncture & moxibustion(öÜ϶), Magic portions(èâÓ¡) are used in the first category. Chinese setting-up and Therapeutic exercises(ÓôìÚ), Josik(ðàãÓ), Naedan(Ò®Ó¡), Byugok(??), Naeshi(Ò®ãÊ), Banjung(Û®ñé) belong to second category. The religious contents such as Bu(ݬ), Jeum(ï¿), Cheum(ôÙ), Ju(ñ±), Je(ðº), Gido(Ñ·Ôª), taboo are implied in third category. 5. In the history of the medicine of Taoism and oriental medicine, they are called animism, shamanism, Mu(Ùã) or Ye(?), not separated at first period. In the end of junguk(îúÏÐãÁÓÛ), Ye(ì¢) was clearly distinguished from Mu(Ùã) and then Mu(Ùã) was developed into medicine of Taoism and ye(?) into the present form of oriental medicine. 6. The oriental medicine doctors that are concerned with Taoism are Bakgo(Û×ÍÔ), Geyugu(Сë¬Ï¡), Soyu(á´êä), Noigong(ÒâÍë), Pyujak(ø¹íÎ), Sunuyi(âèéÍëò), Hwata(ü¤öí), Hwangbomil(üÕÜËÚÍ), Hangang(ùÛˬ), Dongbong(ÔÛÜå), Heuson(úÉáá), Galhong(Êçûó), Dohongyung(Ô¶ûðÌØ), Damlan(Ó¾Õ¶), uyjajang(êØí±íú), Sonsanak(áÝÞÖر), Wanguing(èÝÞ¼), Jegonghwalbul(ðÍëüÀÝÖ), Yuwanso(êåèÇáÈ), Judonge(ñ¹Ó¡Í¢), Leesijin(ì°ãÁòÒ), Johakmin(ðáùÊÚÂ), Ougu1(çïËù) etc. 7. The view of a human body in the medicine of Taoism affected the oriental medicine on the ground that man was regarded as a microcosm(á³éÔñµ), so he was compared to a nation or heaven and earth. 8. The anatomy of medicine of Taoism gave a detail description of five visceras and each organs, the heart, center of mental function, Mirie(ÚÕï) which has an relationship to the training of Naedan(Ò®Ó¡áóæß). In this resrect, as it is accord with the acupunture point of oriental medicine, therefore we can find that Taoism influenced oriental medicine, also explicit study was achieved. 9. Acient people believed that the goo in the human lxxIy, one of the characteristics of the medicine of Taoism cured the patients and then protected him from the disease. If a man was taken ill, they had him cured by making the god's name which corresponded to its disease, calling him communicating with him, and asking him to deprive him of illness. This treatment was used to live and be kept young eternally. In this respects, we can see that they emphasized on the attitude of Bulchiyibeung chimibeung(Üôö½ÐùÜ»ö½ØÇÜ») and psychological treatment. 10. Samsi thoery(ß²ã¹àã) that one's fortune, disaster, health, and disease in the world are at the mercy of his good or bad conduct, is concerned with Taoism and treatment with the oriental medicine. 11. Guchung(Îúõù) is more closly associated with the religious aspect rather than with the medical aspect. Because of the similarity of the mcdern parasitism, its study has an important meaning. 12. The respect for the human life is reflected in jeunsi(îîã»), with Samsi-guchung theory(ß²ã¹Îúõùàã), which is considered as mxIern tuberculosis.
