ABSTRACT

Objectives : The objectives of this study is to provide the theoretical basis to cure and prevent mental disease by translating and considering 「Benshen」 chapter in 『LingShu』. Methods : First, I translate the contents of 「Benshen」 chapter in 『LingShu』 paragraph by paragraph. Second, I consider the contents of 「Benshen」 chapter in 『LingShu』. Third, after considering each paragraph of 「Benshen」 chapter in 『LingShu』, I think the relation of each paragraph and picture to myself 「Benshen」 chapter. Results and Conclusions :1. Heart(心) appeared in 「Benshen」 chapter mediates the action of ‘JeongSinHonBaek(精神魂魄)’ and ‘UiJiSaRyeoJi(意志思虑智)’. 2. ‘UiJiSaRyeoJi(意志思虑智)’ appeared in 「Benshen」 chapter means the process of the maturity of thought. ‘Jeong(精)’ which has a ‘water(水), sink(沈), silent(靜)’ image gets involved in the development from ‘Ui(意)’ to ‘Ji(志)’, because its process means the thought is deepening. ‘Hon(魂)’ which has a ‘wind(風), cloud(雲), change(變)’ image gets involved in the development from ‘Ji(志)’ to ‘Sa(思)’, because its process means the change of the thought. ‘Sin(神)’ which has a ‘fire(火), bright(明), move(動)’ image gets involved in the development from ‘Sa(思)’ to ‘Ryeo(慮)’, because its process means the expansion the horizon of the cognition. ‘Baek(魄)’ which has a ‘metal(金), firm(剛), decide(決)’ image gets involved in the development from ‘Ryeo(慮)’ to ‘Ji(智)’, because its process means the wise response to real world. 3. If one is immersed in one emotion and cannot escape from it, the functional change of Gi(氣) due to its emotion harms five spirits which move in the opposite direction and causes mental·physical symptoms and has a possibility to die in the season which inhibit each five organs. 4. Five spirits(五神) acts based on ‘HyeolMaekYeongGiJeong(血脈營氣精)’ and in the symtoms caused by deficiency and excess of five organ Gi(五藏氣), symptoms of liver and heart appear in emotion and symptoms of spleen·lung·kidney appear in body. 5. 「Benshen」 chapter highlights the importance of checking ‘Sin(神)’ and ‘Gi(氣)’ treating a patient with acupuncture and mentioning the importance of observing deficiency and excess of five organ Gi(五藏氣) in the last paragraph means ‘Sin(神)’ and ‘Gi(氣)’ are inseparably related.
