Choo-Joo(õÛñ¿;1790-1844) was the medicine scholar who lived in the late peroid of the Chung-Dynasty and wrote "Bon-Kyung-So-Jeung(ÜâÌèáÂñû)", "Bon-kyung-Sok-So(ÜâÌèáÙáÂ)", "Bon-Kyng-Seo-So-Yo(ÜâÌèßíáÂé©)". In the books mentioned above, He annotated the chief effectiveness of herbal medicine(Üâõ®) which had been presented on "Shin-Nong-Bon-Cho-Kyung(ãêÒÜÜâõ®Ìè)" and "Myoung-Eui-Byul-Lok(Ù£ì¢Ü¬Öâ)". He defined medical action of 315 herb-items with the many theories of various scholars. Scholars whom Choo-Joo has qoutated belong to the school of study of Chinese classics, and they have regarded "Hwang-Je-Nae-Kyung(üÜð¨Ò®Ìè)", "Shin-Nong-Bon-Cho-Kyung(ãêÒÜÜâõ®Ìè)" and "Sang-Han-Lon(ß¿ùÎÖå)" as great important cannon and have lived during the Myoung Chung Dynasty. The distinctive character of Choo-Joo belongs to similar academic traditions. It seems that he was appected mainly by "Bon-Cho-Gang-Mok(Üâõ®ËµÙÍ)" written by Lee-Si-Jin(×ÝãÁòÒ), Mok-Jung-Soon(Ùðñêâè)'s "Sin-Nonng-Bon-Cho-Kyung-So(ãêÒÜÜâõ®ÌèáÂ)", You-Yak-Guem(êåå´ÐÝ)'s "Bon-Cho-Sul(Üâõ®âû)" and Yang-Si-Tae(åÅãÁ÷Á)'s "Bon-Cho-Sul-Gu-Won(Üâõ®âûÏÉêª)". He contributed in two big sides. First, Choo-Joo(õÛñ¿) have achieved much contribution in biliographical study of Chinese classics(ÍÅñûùÊ). He analyzed the medical theory of herb-medicine, combining with "Nae-Kyung(Ò®Ìè)", "Sang-Han-Lon(ß¿ùÎÖå)" and many theory of various scholars in order to make research on the chief effectiveness that had been presented in "Shin-Nong-Bon-Cho-Kyung(ãêÒÜÜâõ®Ìè)". Therefore the practical application of medical theory and term which had been represented on classics were offered. Secondary, Choo-joo did great accomplishment in pharmacology. The point of his theory was grasping the effect of a medicine through distinctive one beyond general feature. He set up standards that grasp distintive feature as form, color, energy and taste, place of production and temper. And on the basis of these standards he investigated distinctive feature on various fields, then he induced 'the Uem-Yang-0-Haeng Theory(ëäåÕçéú¼àã)' from distictions. According to the these method of classification, form(û¡) stand for the resultant shape of herbal function, color(ßä) represent the active direction of herb, energy and taste(Ѩګ) imply the ultimate active function of herb, the place of production(ߧò¢) and the period of occurrence(Û¡ßæãÁÑ¢) symbolize symptoms. When he applied these method to seek for effetiveness, he regarded the field which revealed most representative feature as of great importance, and Combining remained distinctions with one another, he determined more accurate medicinal value. These method of obsevation solved contradiction which occured by equaly appling all medical herbs for the regular standard. The most important theory that represented in Choo-Joo(õÛñ¿) is to induce and to certify the distintive feature of herb into the 'Uem-Yang-0-Haeng Theory'. That is, concluded as "spring(ßæ), growing(íþ), change(ûù), collecting(â¥) and storing(íú)". As the results of these studies, he made clear the action of medicine more concretly and made 'the Uem-Yang-0-Haeng Theory(ëäåÕçéú¼àã)' more concret and actual for applying. And he contrbuted to establish the standard for grasping the effect of medicines.
