周學海의 三陰三陽 分野說에 관한 고찰

A Study of Juhakhae(周學海)'s Three Eum and Three Yang[三陰三陽] Field Theory

Three Eum and Three Yang[三陰三陽] is a way of studying the changing of nature from a Eum (陰) and Yang(陽) point of view. Juhakhae(周學海) divides this into two dimensions. The first is the concept of dividing the exterior part of the body excluding the organ into 6 divisions as Eumyang(陰陽) of front and rear characteristic. The second is the concept of dividing the systematic bio-activity of the central organ into another 6 dimensions. The former concept is illustrated in the body as a certain meridian controlling a certain field of the body, while the latter is presented as a certain organ performing an activity of Gi(氣). Three Eum and Three Yang[三陰三陽] is not based on fixed substances. but it is a thought process model of observing the structural-functional changes of the body in disease state. Therefore, by understanding Three Eum and Three Yang[三陰三陽] of field and activity of Gi(氣) respectively and comprehensively putting these into practice, we will be able to approach the essence of the disease state in a more precise manner.
