초록
Sinpyeonjipsungmauibang is the classic on medical studies on horses written on the seventh year of Taejo of Chosun Dynasty, or the year of 1399. It was written with practical purpose, and it is the collection of medical studies on horses in our country from the last era of Koryo to the first era of Chosun. Acupuncture treatment in curing the disease of horses has much importance in this book. Most of the acupuncture was quoted from the classic Simuanjiji"司牧安驥集" from the Dang Dynasty, China. However, the contents were selected to only include what we need, and it was supplemented with our own experiences and explanations to be put into practical use. The idea of acupuncture point and meridian can be found in the book; it is, however, not as clear and complete as the current system. Also, the needle used in the book was usually the "needle with fire(火針)" and "method of burning(烙法)", and the "method of bloodletting(瀉血法)" was used often as well. The method of moxibustion was used as supplement for acupuncture.
