이고의 음화론에 대한 새로운 이해

A New Study of Li Gao’s Yin Fire Theory (陰火論) - from the viewpoint of PTSD and PTG

Li Gao is a person who left a great mark in the history of Chinese medicine that founded the theory of Piwei(脾胃) theory. When explaining Li Gao s medical ideology, all researchers only explain that his medical ideology was created by curing hunger in war and the diseases of people who suffered from battle field trauma. However, Li Gao was also suffered from that battle field trauma while the Mongol attacked the Kaifeng Castle(開封城) for destroying Jin Dynasty from 1232 to 1233 for about six months. Therefore, it is the hypothesis of this study that Li Gao himself would have suffered PTSD, and this study re-examined the process more closely from the viewpoint of PTSD and PTG. He had such an experience classified as PTSD, and the conclusion of this study is that his achievement in medical history is the result of PTG that has risen over it. Li Gao s narrative of Piwei(脾胃) theory contains the revenge of Li Gao s to the Mongol soldiers, and Li Gao achieved the ultimate PTG by overcoming the trauma of Kaifeng Castle step by step.
