《內經》의 月令(四時)

An analysis of systemizing months, seasons, and part of body in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" with the teory of Yŏk(易)

There are many chapters in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics(黃帝內經)" regarding systemizing months, seasons, meridians, the internal organs(藏府), and parts of body. However it is very confusing because in every chapter, they have different standards. In "Maek'ae(脈解)" of "Plain Questions(素問)", months are related to three U˘m and three Yang(三陰三陽). In "Kuch'imnon(九鍼論)" of "miraculous Pivot(靈樞)", parts of body are related to seasons and days. In "U˘myanggyeirwol(陰陽繫日月)" of "Miraculous Pivot(靈樞)", 12 meridians are related to the Heavenly Streams & Earthly Branches(干支). In "Chinyogyŏngjongnon(診要經終論)" of "Plain Questions(素問)", the internal organs(藏府) and the head are related to months. In "Kŭmgwejinŏllon(金匱眞言論)" of "Plain Questions(素問)", parts of body are related to four seasons. Following statements can be concluded when analyzed with the theory of yŏk(易). 1. Both in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics(黃帝內經)" and "Chuyŏk(주역)", Ŭm and Yang are thought as the basis of everything and every change that occur in this universe is by the fluctuation of Yin and Yang. This rule is also applied to our body. 2. "maek'ae(脈解) of "Plain Questions(素問)" is related to the theory of twelve principal divinatory symbols(십이벽괘설) and "Kuch'imnon(九鍼論)" of "Miraculus Pivot(靈樞)" is closely related to the theory of eight divinatory symbols-direction
