ABSTRACT

Wanghogo(王好古), a famous physician of the Geum-Won(金元) period, inherited the theories of Jangwonso(張元素) and Igo(李古), and made great contribution to the spread of the medical theory of the Yeoksu school(易水學派). In Korea, studies on Wanghogo(王好古) is growing, but that on his life is still undeveloped. The year of his birth and death, as proposed by Wangwaljeong of the Cheong(淸) dynasty, was around 1200 and 1264. However, through thorough examination of the records and context along with the relation between Wanghogo(王好古) and his teacher Igo(李古)’s works, the author finds that Wanghogo(王好古) was born around the year of 1230, and died around 1308.
