Since ${\ll}$Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)${\gg}$ and ${\ll}$Nangyeong(難經)${\gg}$, there has been various methods in pulse diagnosis. The Chon-gu(寸口)/Inyeong(人迎) Pulse Comparison Diagnosis which is dealt with in many chapters of the ${\ll}$Hwangjenaegyeong${\gg}$, has not been as widely applied as the Chon-gu Pulse Diagnosis due to several limitations. In this paper, we will review these limitations and suggest an alternative method. In the Chon-gu/Inyeong Pulse Comparison Diagnosis, we compare the Chon-gu Pulse and the Inyeong Pulse to see which is larger than the other by times, and diagnose illness of the 12 Meridian Pulse. It is fairly clear which is larger than the other, but to determine by how much accurately is quite difficult to say. However if we combine the Five Viscera Pulse in application, it becomes far more easier to determine which viscera and bowel is ill. First, study the pulse of the Chon-gu and In-yeong, then determine the Viscera Pulse. Next, determine the larger pulse between the Chon-gu and In-yeong pulse.

Objective : The purpose of this study is not only to examine the negative functions of alcohol, but also to examine the positive functions and look at it with a balanced perspective. Methods : We investigated the number of times the word "酒"(alcohol) appears in 《Hwangjenaegyeong》 and 《Gyeongakjeonseo》. The meaning of alcohol was divided into seven categories. The number of positive and negative functions of alcohol was counted and the ratio was calculated. Results : 1. In the 《Hwangjenaegyeong》, the word alcohol appears 23 times, of which 9 times has positive functions, 10 times has negative functions, and the remaining 4 times does not correspond anywhere. The ratio of positive functions is 39.13% and negative functions 43.48%. 2. In the 《Gyeongakjeonseo》, the word alcohol appears 1,487 times, of which 1,140 times (76.66%) has positive functions, and 327 times (21.99%) has negative functions. Conclusions : 1. In 《Hwangjenaegyeong》, the number of comments about positive and negative functions of alcohol is similar. 2. 《Gyeongakjeonseo》 has commented a lot about the positive functions of alcohol. However, it has more mentions to negative functions of alcohol except for those related to herbs and prescriptions (48 to 64 chapter). 3. It is somewhat unreasonable to judge the emphasis on the positive and negative function of alcohol according to the number of references to alcohol in oriental medicine classics. But in these books, we can find a balanced approach between the two sides, not a one-sided biased view. 4. From a curative point of view, it is desirable to know and to use the positive and negative functions of alcohol, and drink alcohol as appropriate control.

Gi(氣) transformation theory is the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine[TCM]. This theory matured during the period of "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", and later in the history of TCM was a source of significant impact on the development process and direction of general medical theory. The concept of "gi transformation[氣化]" mainly originates from the definition of the three levels which are nature, the relationship between nature and human, and the body's own metabolism, and is used to describe the usage and the resulting changes of 'gi(氣)'. Gi transformation possesses six characteristics which are permanence, universality, representationalism, directional, variability, and orderliness. The research of the concept and characteristics of gi transformation[氣化] in "Hwangjenaegyeong" will help identify the important academic value and practical significance of the formation of the basic theory of TCM as the result of the gi transformation theory, and highlight the unique characteristics of TCM.

Various methods are being used to revise "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", all of which have both positive and negative aspects. This is why a comprehensive approach is necessary. The revision process up to present has lead to some fruitful results, but with many problems as well. What should be taken into account for accurate revision is that apart from the apparent literal difficulties, there are numerous theories mingling together within the texts. Therefore, excessive fondness towards a particular perspective or clinical experience of an individual should be avoided in order not to commit any grave mistakes.

According to the original texts in "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", it's considered that the Chinese character Tong(洞) in the word of Tongseol(洞泄) should be understood as fast[疾] or rapid[速]，and the main symptom of Tongseol should be diarrhea of indigested food soon after a meal. Through comparing Tongseol with Dongpung(迵風) in Historical Records, we can draw the conclusions as following. Firstly, the ancient physicians attached great importance to the role of wind in the pathogenesis of diarrhea. Secondly, perhaps the ancient physicians had these ideas of "wind is rapid" and "strong wind can bring shaken" as well as "wind is related to the liver closely" already in the early Western Han Dynasty. Thirdly, the rich materials about the relationship between wind and diarrhea in "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)" should be considered as the successor to the excellent thinking of their predecessors.
