A Comparative Study on the Formation of Saengsanbibang and Taesansimbub, Taesanbiseo, Daesaengyoji, Dalsaengpyeon

Saengsanbibang is Obsterics technical books published in 1915. After the publishing of first edition, it was published 15 times so I supposed that this book was very popular in that times. And this book is also valuable because Obsterics books written in Korea are uncommon. But there had not been enough detailed study on this book, so I tried to study on the formation of this book. For that, I compared the formation between this book and 4 kinds of typical Obsterics technical books in Qing dynasty, Taesansimbub, Taesanbiseo, Daesaengyoji, and Dalsaengpyeon. As the result, Saengsanbibang refered to Dalsaengpyeon for the contents that the reason and prevention of distocia, the basic principle for antenatal care, and the formulae to tonify blood. The contents that the taking methods of Saenhwatang (生化湯) accroding to the diseases, are mainly affected by Taesanbiseo. Some contents which had been refered in Taesansimbub, Daesaengyoji weren’t refered to Saengsanbibang. So Saengsanbibang is valuable because this book easily summarized the medical knowledge for spreading it to ordinary people. I look forward to more specific study for Saengsanbibang.
