ABSTRACT

Objectives : The purpose of this paper is to collect basic data about Seo, Byung-Hyo and lay the groundwork for future analysis of his medical ideas. Methods : The life of Seo in regards to family and relationships was reconstructed through his genealogy and newspaper articles. His medical ideas were analyzed through the treatment records in books and historical material. Results : 1. Seo was primarily a clinician rather than a social worker throughout the Korean Empire and Japanese colonial era. 2. 『Summary of Experienced Old Prescriptions (經驗古方要抄)』 was a concise book that mainly took after the 『New Edition on Universal Relief (濟衆新編)』, supplemented by contents from the 『DongUiBogam(Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine)』. 3. It is meaningful that Seo's book restored and developed the single-ingredient prescription tradition of the 『DongUiBogam(Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine)』. 4. Seo faithfully followed the tradition of royal court medicine and utilized new prescriptions that were proven effective. Analysis of the prescription contents of 『A royal palace's diary(內殿日記)』 displays such characteristic. Conclusions : Seo, Byung-Hyo could be regarded as a clinician who faithfully inherited and developed 『DongUiBogam(Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine)』 and 『New Edition on Universal Relief (濟衆新編)』.
