ABSTRACT

Objectives : In this study, the meaning of Wuxing(五行) and Ganji(干支) in Suwenrushiyunqilunao(素問入式運氣論奧) and Wuxingdayi(五行大義) is reviewed to compare the interpretations of Wuxing and Ganzhi. Methods : The explanations of Wuxing, Sipgan(十干) and Sibiji(十二支) in the chapters of Suwenrushiyunqilunao and Wuxingdayi were studied to find different points of view. Results : Suwenrushiyunqilunao explained the meaning of Wuxing and Ganji using expression and metaphors of Yinyangwuxing(陰陽五行) theory while Suwenrushiyunqilunao describe their fragmentary characters. Also, Suwenrushiyunqilunao attached each one of Wuxing to substance(質), rule(理), shape(形), nature(性), righteousness(義). Conclusions : The differences of the explanations between the books point that there has been a deepening understanding of Yinyangwuxing and developments of Yunqixue(運氣學) in about 500 years from the publication of Wuxingdayi.
