今ㆍ古文尙書 五行配藏 論爭에 대한 考察

A Discussion on the Controversy of Relation between the Five Changes theory(五行論) and the Five Viscera from 『Geummun-Sangseo(今文尙書)』 and 『Gomun-Sangseo(古文尙書)』

The five viscera[五藏], one of the key concepts from Traditional Oriental Medicine in understanding the nature of human body, endows the characteristic of five phases[五行] on the five representative organs, based on the five phases theory[五行論]. Although the theory from 『Geummun-Sangseo(今文尙書)』 which states the order of 'liver-mok[肝木] heart-hwa[心火] pancreas-to[脾土] lung-geum[肺金] kidney-su[腎水]' is now widely approved by present-day academics concerning arrangement of five changes and the five viscera, there are some other less-known theories of arrangement. 『Gomun-Sangseo[古文尙書]』 had suggested the order of 'pancreas-mok[脾木] lung-hwa[肺火] heart-to[心土] liver-geum[肝金] kidney-su[腎水]', which was never practiced, and 『Dong-uisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)』 of Ijema(李濟馬) expressed the theory of 'lung-mok[肺木] pancreas-hwa[脾火] heart-to[心土] liver-geum[肝金] kidney-su[腎水]'.
