Responding to this trend, simple and easy medical science became to prevailand the representative medicine book of this kind was Bang-Yak-Hap-Yak-Hap Pyŭn. 1. Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn was written comprising the characteristics of simple and easy medical science with a view to popularizing-collection of logics, easy readability, medical science in time, etc. 2.

He engaged in medical practice in Seoul and wrote and edited Boo-Bang-Pyŭn-Ram. ŭi-Jong-Son-Ik, ŭi-Jŭng-Son-Ik-Bu-Yeo, ŭi-Bang-Whan-Tu, ect. and made his son, Pil-Su follow him and let him edit Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn, which put ŭi-Bang-Whal-Tu and Son-Ik-Bon-Cho together. 4. The construct of Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn can be subdivied into three parts: herbs of 34 classes and 514 kinds were arranged on the upper part and ŭi-Bang-Whal-Tu was arranged on the middle end lower part. Such arrangement can be very effective in clinics. 5. Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn as a curative book of Korean medical science has been a necessary another ego for many Korean medical practioners.

Among them, Jung-Jeong, Bang-Yak-Hap-pyŭn, Jŭng-Mak-Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn. Byŭn-Jŭng-Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn, and Byŭn-Jŭng-Bang-Yak-Jung-Jeon have been widely known. Lately, Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn which includes more symptoms and remedies or is translated into Korean came out in several kinds. 7. The number of korea classical medicinal books quoted in Bang-Yak-Hap-Pyŭn is 68, among which Dong-ŭi-Bo-Gam Occupies the top in the list enlisting 69 medicinal treatment.
