ABSTRACT

The four taboos in using Baekhotang as explained by Odang(吳瑭), are identical to the standard symptoms of Severe Exterior Heat Syndrome[表熱重證]. There are similarities between Sanghan and Onbyeong in using Baekhotang(白虎湯). But there are significant differences between Sanghan and Onbyeong in explaining the pathogenesis of human body. In pattern identification by the Wi-Gi-Yoeng-Hyeol(衛氣營血) system, body fluid[津液] is the key feature, whereas in that of the Yuk-Gyeong(六經) system, Yanggi(陽氣) is the point. Therefore, we can understand that the standard symptoms of pattern identification are slightly different. However, that Sanghan and Onbyeong present different explanations does not mean that the disease itself strictly 'belong' to one category. They are different approaches, not explanations for two different subjects. Therefore, Sanghan and Onbyeong should be studied in line with this concept.
