16~18세기 우역 치료방과 방역 시스템의 발전

Abstract

Since the first occurrence of cattle‐plague(rinderpest) in the mid 16th century, cattle‐plague prescriptions of Gwanchan and Sachan were printed to develop the protection system to cope with a periodic prevalence of cattle‐plague. Especially, in 1636, as variations of cattle‐plague broke out, cattle‐plague medication increased its prescriptions and rearranged them focused on experienced prescriptions with approved effect. Also, along with the prevalence of cattle‐plague, Joseon started to understand concepts of epidemics protection and to gradually establish them as a system. Joseon that had a centralized power of medicine and administration system corresponded systemically to the outbreak and prevalence of cattle‐plague, to proceed to develop a system in the 18th century that was identical to that of the 20th century protection system. Nation’s immediate personal measures and all other measures such as isolation of infected cattle, immunosuppressive serum injections, flesh disposal (burial, incineration and disinfection), suspension of movement and transaction were adopted as a cattle‐plague protection system in Joseon in the early 20th century. Changed measures from those of the cattle‐plague prescriptions and protection system established between the 16th and the 18th century are confined to immune serum injection instead of cattle‐plague prescriptions based on traditional Korean medicine and additional incineration and disinfection for which there used to be a simple burial. Contrary to what modern veterinary medicine scholars in the 20th century have asserted, it can be said that the cattle‐plague protection system established by modern veterinary medicine that was originated from the western civilization has deeply had exchanges with Korean traditional veterinary medicine and managed to succeed to the pulse of its development.
