The purpose of this study is to analyze vocabulary found in "Donguibogam", one of the medical books in mid-Chosun, through Corpus-based analysis, one of the text analysis methods. According to it, Donguibogam has total 871,000 words in it, and Chinese characters used in it are total 5,130. Among them, 2,430 characters form 99% of the entire text. The most frequently appearing 20 Chinese characters are mainly function words, and with this, we can see that "Donguibogam" is a book equipped with complete forms of sentences just like other books. Examining the chapters of "Donguibogam" by comparison, Remedies and Acupuncture indicated lower frequencies of function words than Internal Medicine, External Medicine, and Miscellaneous Diseases. "Yixuerumen (Introduction to Medicine)" which influenced "Donguibogam" very much has lower frequencies of function words than "Donguibogam" in its most frequently appearing words. This may be because "Yixuerumen" maintains the form of Chileonjeolgu (a quatrain with seven Chinese characters in each line with seven-word lines) and adds footnotes below it. Corpus-based analysis helps us to see the words mainly used by measuring their frequencies in the book of medicine. Therefore, this researcher suggests that the results of this analysis can be used for education of Chinese characters at the college of Korean Medicine.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the prescriptions used for insomnia in Uihagimmun and Donguibogam. Methods : In Uihagimmun, 17 prescriptions were selected. If there was a change in the medicinal material, the altered herbal medicine was indicated along with the prescription name. In Donguibogam, 14 prescriptions were selected. Each prescription was analyzed by dividing it into prescription composition, and herbal medicine. Medications constituting a prescription were classified according to the classification of Korean herbal medicines and arranged based on their frequency of appearance. Result : The causes of insomnia were classified mainly as exhaustion in Uihagimmun and as exhaustion, stress, low energy, aging and discomfort in Donguibogam. In Uihagimmun, numerous medicines were used to relieve fever, and in Donguibogam, the use of stabilizers increased. More warm medicines were used in Donguibogam than in Uihagimmun, and the taste trend was similar in each. Conclusions : The types of causes of insomnia increased more in Donguibogam than Uihagimmun. Accordingly, the two books showed differences in drug classification and properties of a medicine. However, in terms of taste and action of medicinal herbs, they showed similar patterns, and there was only a difference in the order of frequency.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to study as reference for practical application in clinics, examine the procedure of historical changes and compare components and their doses of herb medicines, which are recorded in the chapter, Sinmun Jeonkwang of "Donguibogam". Methods : I examined 19 Herb Medicines (Ed note: no need to capitalize the 'h' and 'm') in Chapter Sinmun Jeonkwang of "Donguibogam". Fourteen books, which were noted in Chapter Sinmun Jeonkwang of "Donguibogam" and 16 books in Jeonkwang part of "The Eastern Medical Textbook of neuropsychiatry" and 25 books were mentioned in same part of "Uibujeonrok", were selected as reference.
