ABSTRACT

A Study on Sun Yi-Kui(孫一奎)’s “Fire·heat-disease-mechanism(火熱病機)” Theory Dept. of Oriental Medical Science, Graduate School of Kyunghee University Kim, Yong-Joo · Baik, You-Sang · Jeong, Chang-Hyun Many of newly emerging diseases such as hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, and atoptic dermatities are categorized into “Fire·heat-disease(火熱病)” according to oriental medicine. It is because factors such as stress, overeating, and high fat diet are major causes of heat in the human body. Sun Yi-Kui(孫一奎), a well-known oriental medical doctor during Ming Dynasty’s “Jia Jing Wan Li Nian Jian”(嘉靖萬歷年間 : A.D 1522~1619), established new theories on “Fire·heat-disease-mechanism(火熱病機)”. This study aims to investigate Dr. Sun's “Fire·heat-disease-mechanism(火熱病機)”theory. For this purpose, I thoroughly examined the concepts of “Dong-Qi(動氣)”, “Ming-Men(命門)”, king fire(君火) and minister fire(相火) as well as pathological theory on “Fire·heat(火熱)”. In addition, I compared Sun's theory with those of Li Dong-yuan and Zhu dan-Xi.
