ABSTRACT

Objective : The medicine originated from Taoist tradition which identifies itself with medicine,making a harmonic combination between taoist theory of life fostering(養生論) andconfucianism was a everlasting task for Ru-Yi, Li-chan who attach great importance toConfucian-medicine. Differing from the ideological background of precedent medicaltheorists, made his own confucianism the main theory of medicine. I think we need arational reflection over these issues and am trying to focus on it. I hereby analyse theRu-Yi, Li-chan’s viewpoint on Taoism since after Ming(明)-dynasty during which histheoretical ideology has bloomed in chinese medicine. Method : I analyze the sentences in Li-Chan’s Yisuerumen(Medical beginner’s book, 醫學入門)From the perspective of Confucianism and Taoism. Result & Conclusion : Li-Chan understood Taoism from the viewpoint of Confucian medicine. Thus, He accepted the life-fostering of Taoism from the point of Confucian-moralcultivation. He emphasized the role of the Xin(mind, 心) and he was rejected Taoistmysticism. He interpreted Medical classics-Huangdineijing(黃帝內經) from theperspective of the Confucian classics and understanding of each other was similarposition. Because he was a Confucian scholar and medical scientists.
