조선후기 <<鍼灸經驗方>>의 비판과 수용 : 판본조사와 手抄 내용을 중심으로

Abstract

When the treatment means of traditional medicine in Korea is roughly classified, it might be divided into the method of using medicinal ingredients and moxibustion. These two methods have been the main concern of medical books, which are the method of medical procedures representing the traditional medicine in East Asia even until today. I looked into the printings of ‘Chimgugyeongheombang’(鍼灸經驗方)[1644], the representative book on acupuncture and moxibustion in the period of Joseon Dynasty and the contents added to each printing or manuscript by its holder or transcriber with the aim of tracing what the scientific concern of medical practitioners was in Joseon Dynasty after ‘Chimgugyeongheombang.’ A considerable portion of these written contents comprises the contents which, post-Huhim medical practitioners thought, must be added and supplemented to ‘Chimgugyeongheombang’, through which I intends to get a sense of how the medical practitioners in the late period of Joseon Dynasty criticized and accept the medical knowledge contained in ‘Chimgugyeongheombang.’There exist three printed books of ‘Chimgugyeongheombang’ including the first 20-character book, second 20-character book, and Mushin-character book. The first 20-character book is estimated to be a first edition while the second 20-character book was confirmed to be published before 1721. The 17- Mushin-character book printed in metal type is estimated to be printed out in the early-mid 18th century by its physical shape. Also, there exist some parts in these printed books in which their holders transcribed their own medical experiences additionally. The manuscript books had very diverse forms and contents. Morphologically classified, the representative cases include the one faithful to the contents and form of the original text, and the other pursuing portability and utilizability. Classified in the aspect of contents, they can be divided into the case where the knowledge related the symptoms of a disease was added, the case where the diagnosis-related knowledge was added, the case where meridian points in the body & meridian channels were added, and the case where a new acupunctural method was added. Among these, the contents related to the meridian points in the body & meridian channels, and ‘Aupuncture method using theory of five circuits and six qi'(運氣鍼法) are worthy of notice. The meridian points & channels stemmed from the keynotes of the writing of ‘Chimgugyeongheombang’, but it was clear that the medical practitioners in later generations tended to supplement those contents. The contents concerning ‘midnight-midday ebb flow acupuncture'(子午流注針法) and ‘eightfold method of the sacred tortoise’(靈龜八法) were the parts caused by different scientific views on science of acupuncture & moxibustion, through which the opposition to the ‘Aupuncture method using theory of five circuits and six qi' in the mid-period of Joseon Dynasty aroused the concern for the ‘Aupuncture method using theory of five circuits and six qi’' in the late period of Joseon Dynasty; in addition, it's possible to take a view that the research work on ‘Aupuncture method using theory of five circuits and six qi’' in the late period of Joseon Dynasty caused a new theory of acupunctural method to come into being since then.
