東垣內傷證에 대한 溫病學的 解析

A Study on Dongwon(東垣)'s Internal Injury Syndrome in the Aspect of the Study on Epidemic Febrile Disease

Byeollyangchamsa(汴梁慘事) has been a key factor in formation of Dongwon(東垣)'s theory on internal injuries. The majority regarded Byeollyangchamsa(汴梁慘事) as just epidemic disease, while Dongwon(東垣) regarded it as internal injuries by improper diet and overstrain. However, an analysis of Dongwon(東垣)'s internal injury syndrome revealed that it was a kind of external affections caused by damp-heat. In particular, heat rather than dampness have developed as the disease got worse. Therefore It can be regarded as the serious syndrome to show the impairment of Gi(氣), blood, fluids and humors for pathogenic fire.
