Abstract

|
|
Objective : The concept of Eum-Fire(ëäûý), which was brought up by Li Dong-yuan(ì°ÔÔê¯), is such a very ambiguous thing that many medical scholars had tried to understand its real meaning. Trying to understand the real concept of Eum-Fire, this study goes on based on the view that the concept of Eum-Fire in the medical books of Li Dong-yuan was used as being the same thing with the concept of Xim-Fire(ãýûý) and Premier-Fire (ßÓûý), and the substance of this kind of fire is the fire in Ximpo(ãýøÐ) and Myungmun (Ù¤Ú¦) which works in the system of Ximgye(ãýͧ). To verify this view is the main objective of this study.
Method : Inquiring into Li Dong-yuan's medical books, this study investigated examples of the uses of the terms of Eum-Fire, Xim-Fire and Premier-Fire, and analyzed the relation between the meanings of these terms. And as a collateral evidence to the main view of this study, this study notes Wang An-dao(èÝäÌÔ³)'s reference about Eum-Fire and inquires into the concept of Premier-Fire that was formed by Liu He-jian(êåùÁÊà), who had been referred to in Wang An-dao's argument about Eum-Fire. And this study also presents the Chen Shi-duo(òçÞÍ÷¡)'s view about Eum-Fire that is expected to show a more concrete concept of Eum-Fire than now and seems to deserve to be compared with that of Li Dong-yuan.
Result and Conclusion : It could be understood that the concept of Eum-Fire in Li Dong-yuan's books was used as a thing that owns the same substance as a kind of fire with Xim-Fire and Premier-Fire. In this viewpoint it could also be understood that Li Dong-yuan had attached the concepts like Xim-Fire and Eum-Fire to the concept of Premier-Fire, so terms like these could be understood as such concepts that represented the diverse figures of Premier-Fire. And this study also found that the substance of Xim-Fire as a kind of Premier-Fire means the fire of Ximpo and Myungmun that works in the system of Ximgye, which seems to be formerly introduced as a frame of Premier-Fire by Liu He-jian. This study also found the indirect basis of this viewpoint in the books of Chen Shi-duo, and could get a conclusion that Chen Shi-duo's view about Eum-Fire can be regarded as a thing that could show us more concrete matter of Eum-Fire than now.
