Abstract

|
|
The early Joseon era was a period when various medical systems were established and many medical literatures were published. Hwang Ja-hu(üÜíý§) was a civil minister and medical professional who worked hard for maintaining government administrative system and medical regime during the Taejong and Sejong reign. Hwang Ja-hu followed his father and made MiReukWon(Ú¯×ÍêÂ) prosperous for the homeless people around Chungcheong-do Hoedeok. Hwang Ja-hu was talented in policy development as a government official. He was also learned in medicine, thus always doubled as head of JeonUiGam(îðì¢Êø). Hwang Ja-hu reformed the irrationalities in medical regime. He legalized JeonUiGam duties such as the presenting of the medicine or the preparation of the medicine and had the doctors take charge. He also suggested training acupuncture specialists(öÝ϶îöÚ¦ì¢). Hwang Ja-hu played a leading role in spreading HyangYak(úÁå·) throughout the country and reissuing [HyangYakGuGeupBang(úÁå·ÏÐáÛ°)] due to personal philanthropism and service. He tried to defeat illnesses by letting the common people understand the symptoms and use medicine accordingly. Also he intended [HyangYakGuGeupBang(úÁå·ÏÐáÛ°)] which was written focused on 'easiness book'(ÊÛì¯Û°), 'experience book'(ÌèúÐÛ°) to be used for the common people because [HyangYakJipSungBang(úÁå·ó¢à÷Û°)] was made up a huge volume andused for training medical professionals and for accumulating knowledge. Hwang Ja-hu pursed subdivision of medical systems and specialization of medicine but also promoted medical rights. We should continue to discover and introduce medical figures who understood medicine and improved the medical systems.
