This study mathematically and scientifically investigated the aesthetic consciousness of women inherent in the costume craftworks craftworks of the Chosun Dynasty through a systematical analysis of their textile pattern composition using visual language theory. The tangent value from the horizontal and vertical ratio of the costume craftworks craftworks indicated that they had an indigenous proportion system with a relatively regular form and pattern but without an exaggerated type. There was a module based on structures in the textile patterns of the costume craftworks craftworks and the patterns were constructed by the module with the syntagms of the ratio structure. Moreover, the analysis of the pattern designs indicated that the whole form of the costume craftworks craftworks was built through a repetitive structure of feature and one of pattern units; in addition, the craftworks had the extended composition and blank space of daring patterns, an important factor to make a whole design. Therefore, our study suggested that the costume craftworks craftworks of the Chosun Dynasty was characterized by the presentation of the aesthetic style with a Geumgang ratio (an indigenous proportion system used in Korea) and could be interpreted as an art style based on the beauty of space. Moreover, it is suggested that the spirit inherent in the costume craftworks of the Chosun Dynasty (which tried to understand the whole as one and equate the whole and parts) might agree with a holistic tendency as the foundation of Korea art.

For bedroom cabinets, 27 terms are used and 4 of them are changed with the same meaning. The change of the terminology results from the life culture mostly. While the Chosun Dynasty furniture terms were mostly presented as the Korean and Chinese language, in the contemporary furniture ones Korean and Chinese together with English are used.

The Chosun dynasty woman doctors served important roles as professional doctors. Most of these woman doctors are believed to have been either assistants to their male counterparts or specialists for certain limited fields such as gynecology. Despite such circumstances, some woman doctors such as 장덕 or 귀금 were even mentioned in the 조선왕조실록 for their outstanding abilities. In such cases where a doctor was recognized for their skills, they were entitled to higher social status and/or financial benefits.

In this paper, the overall contents of InJo's disease centering on the records from Chosun Dynasty's Official Records were examined. As a result, it was elucidated that the fundamental cause had lied in internal injuries of the Spleen and Stomach. The reason behind the constant change from fever to chills that agonized InJo the most lied not so much in external hazards as much in the injuries of the Spleen and Stomach. The treatment for InJo focused more on acupuncture methods than herbal medicine, which is thought to be characteristic of mid-Chosun Dynasty starting from the times of prior king SunJo or GwangHaeGun.

There remain several archiectural drawings which was made in Chosun dynasty, which are quite different from current drawings. The site plan which is composed of slanted elevations doesn't exhist in Western drawing method. This elevation development method is common in Korea, China, and Japan. These three nations also have a common point which the wooden structure are popular. So elevation development method is reasonable to represent the wooden structure. Because a drawing mehod reflects cultural character and thought, it is important to read the architectural perception at that time. In this viewpoint, I studied the characters of the drawing method in Chosun dynasty according to the peoriodical articulation of century, and how the drawing method reflects the thought at that time. And I suggested a new posibility of effective and reasonable drawing method for the wooden structure.
