<活人心方>의 健康增進 談論

Abstract

This study was to identify the basic principles of the Health Promotion on Toegye's Hoal-In-Sim-Bang. Research method used here was methodology of discourse analysis from the perspective of knowledge archeology which is study on knowledge discovered through the dynamic intertwining of contrastive knowledges and is based on Foucault's discourse order. By analyzing Toegye's Hoal-In-Sim-Bang, his thoughts on Health Promotion were discovered. Hoal-In-Sim-Bang includes Health Promotion of a state of well-being in terms of mentality, social relationship, and physique. His Health Promotion has the reasonable and scientific system, in which the central concept is the Mind, the essence of human mentality. The principles are as followers: creative intelligence based on reasonable reading for mental health promotion, moderation on daily lifestyle from eating habits to sexual life for social health promotion , and exercise for physical and respiratory health promotion. This is what Toegye's Discourse in Hoal-In-Sim-Bang is all about. Hoal-In-Sim-Bang, which originated from Gusun's Hoal-In-Sim, was rewritten and drawn by Toegye to systemize 'Individualized Health Promotion Program'. In this program, Toegye emphasizes a state of well-being in terms of mentality, social relationship, and physique, each of which consists of two components. The mental health promotion contains Jungwhatang and Whagiwhan: the former is made up of 30 good phrases and the latter means only one word, IN, meaning endurance. The social health promotion includes Yangsangbub and Chi-Sim: the former is the right way of life and the latter means self-control of mind. The physical health promotion implicates Taoin and Gebaeongyensuyougzageol: the former is physical excercise for relaxation and the latter consists of six silent sounds based on the inner voice. Individualized Health Promotion Program by Toegye corresponds to Constitution of the World Health Organization(WHO) in that both of them put an emphasis on three significant components, which are mentality, social relationship, and physique. The notable difference between them is its priority: Constitution of the World Health Organization(WHO) places physique high on their lists of priority, whereas in the Individualized Health Promotion Program by Toegye, mentality has the high priority. In the information society based on knowledge, individuals have to strive to overcome problems related to suffering from multiple stress and promote their health by themselves. At this point, Toegye's Individualized Health Promotion Program will be one of the conceptual frameworks for comtemporary people to realize their health promotion.
