『金匱要略』의 ‘陽氣衰者爲狂’에 대한 考察 - ‘陽氣’의 槪念을 중심으로 -

Abstract

Objective : Korean medicine normally explained Kuang as a symptom arising from the exaltation caused by excessive yangqi. Therefore, a lot of arguments existed surrounding Jinkuiyaolue's explanation of Kuang as Yangqishuai. Therefore, the paper will review the exisitng opinions regarding this issue, and studied the original meaning of Jinkuiyaolue. Method : First, the opinions of the historical doctors related to the clauses within Jinkuiyaolue are reviewed. Existing opinions are divided into categories, and their meanings and limitations are analyzed. Followed by this, Huangdineijing and later generations' annotations were studied to discover a way to distinquish Yin and Yang of Jinkuiyaolue's Yangqi within the Sinqi. Result & Conclusion : The disease pathogen as explained within Jinkuiyaolue can be understood as an activity of Simqi, and it's difficult to view it as the Yin and Yang in terms of blood qi. Therefore, Jinkuiyaolue refers to the deficiency in terms of the aspect of Yang within the activity of Sinqi. The Yangqi of this can be viewed as an activity of Shenming.
