공가파(孔家坡) 한간(漢簡) 「일서(日書)」 편에 보이는 주술적 의료활동 고찰

Abstract

The main thesis of this research is to examine the shamanistic medical activities seen on the Rishu(日書) in the Kongjiapo(孔家坡) bamboo manuscripts and verify them against the Han dynasty’s handed-down literature and other underground written documents, and research the characteristics. In the Han dynasty, although medicine had developed into a specialized and professional form, it did not disengage from the ideology of shamanism in the society of the Han dynasty. In other words, the shamanistic treatment of diseases was one of the most important works of shamans because the specialized knowledge of medical treatment always interlaced with the method of superstitious and mediumistic treatment. In addition, the scope and penetration of the concept of Yin-Yang and the five elements in ancient China were quite extensive and deeply rooted in China's cultural history. Therefore, the concept of Yin-Yang and the five elements occupies a position that could not be ignored in the formation of Chinese culture, and it has a profound impact on all aspects of Chinese culture, including the early development of traditional Chinese medicine. This article discusses important characteristics of the shamanistic medical activities seen on the Rishu(日書) in the Kongjiapo(孔家坡) bamboo manuscripts, including the divination of illness and the application of the five elements(五行) principle at that time. The origin and development of early Chinese medicine had an influence on ancient Korea, Japan, and other places. Through this research, we can learn more about the initial development stages of early traditional medicine in the ancient societies of East Asia.
