Analyzing the Book of Changes, researchers noted that animals and plants utilized as symbols in the Book of Changes were later used as medicinals in East Asian medicine. They found 24 animals and plants utilized as symbols in the Book of Changes; specifically in six statements on the hexagrams and 53 statements on the lines. The animal and plant symbols in 59 statements are more clearly interpreted with the descriptions in the Compendium of Materia Medica. Eleven plants referenced in the Book of Changes were written with their nicknames, causing confusion to the researchers of later times. Using the Compendium of Materia Medica however, these plants can be identified. Livestock were mentioned 34 times among the 59 statements, with horse and cattle being the most often at eight times, each. They are subdivided according to their sex and color. The writers of the Book of Changes constructed an elaborate symbol system with the animals that are familiar to people, and which, through this research, has been decoded through cross references to the Compendium of Material Medica.

This study investigated the effects of an Augmented Reality(AR) implemented book on flow of reading, interest in history, and acquisition of history knowledge. Perceptions of AR infused books were investigated as well. Researchers provided a history book implementing AR and the same book without any AR content respectively to an experiment group(n=15) and a control group(n=15) composed of $3^{rd}$ and $4^{th}$ grade elementary school children. Results indicate that AR implemented reading had a positive effect on the flow of reading and interest in history, but not on acquisition of history knowledge. Also, AR-based contents were attractive to learners due to its amusing characters, sound, realistic visual motions, and vivid three-dimensional effects. Lastly, students preferred amusing interesting characters, lengthier animations and subtitles, and AR that could be seen without holding smart devices for a long while.

Correlations between "The Book of Changes" and medicine originate from the first publication of the book. Korean Traditional Medicine is no exception in following this tendency of making connections between the two fields. A Chinese medical text, "의학정전" is the most frequently cited text in a Korean medical text "Euirimchalyo". Upon examining the two texts focusing on the 종창, 임폐문 that discusses 비괘, it could be seen that Euirimchalyo edited out the philosophical contents of 의학정전 as much as possible. Thus, on examination of the text, it can be concluded that 의림촬요 takes no part in the Korean history of medical philosophy. This indicates that 의림촬요 is a medical text that purses practicality and efficiency though selectively summarizing.

1. An analysis of "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" through Gwakran(霍亂) showed that the reference books are not concretely cited, but the symptoms are described in detail ed to let the common people understand and deal with Gwakran(霍亂) easily. It has the most detailed among Korean annotation emergency treatment books. It focuses on moxibustion and hot medicinal compress rather than acupuncture. The Korean annotation is translated in the order of the Korean language, so anyone can execute the treatments. The annotation used a lot of active verbs, so it is more of a book for the patient, not the doctor. So we can understand that this book is focused on the practical tips at an actual emergency situation. 2. "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" is the most complete emergency treatment book and a Hangul medical book, which is scarce. It was published shortly after the invention of Hangul. It is an important material showing how terms related to medicine such as disease, prescriptions, symptoms were understood and expressed. As it is important in both medical book presswork study and Korean language study, it is designated as treasure. 3. The existing "GuGeupGanIBang(救急簡易方)" seem to be a reissued version. It is also not complete and scattered in several places. Volumes 1,2,3,6 and 7 survived, and volumes 4,5 and 8 have not been found yet.

Chalbyungyogyul (察病要訣) is a book of Korean Medicine which contains simple knowledges combined with experienced prescriptions. This study intends to introduce a manuscript of Chalbyungyogyul handed down in a family in Yeongwol-gun and analyze the Eui'an (醫案) in it. This book includes common sense in medicinal herbs and 142 cases of Eui'ans. The Eui'ans in Chalbyungyogyul can be divided into three types. Some Eui'ans state miraculous effects. External medical treatments are used in another group of Eui'ans. In the other Eui'ans, prescriptions composed by a single herb are applied. These characteristics are differentiated from those of preexisting Eui'ans in the history of Korean medicine which mainly include complexly prescribed internal medicines and medical discussions. This book vividly describes medical practice in the early 20th century and shows the realization of theoretical writings. Above all, it is a valuable discovery of Eui'an compilation which is rare in the history of Korean medicine.

Marek(말액) is the headgear, which is a form of hempen hoods[Geon(건)] and the origin of it is Pa(파) of band form. A history book of an old Chinese country Post-Han $\ll$ History of HouHan (후한서)$\gg$ had recorded that a soldier wore a red band around his head that was called Pa(파). In the Han dynasty(한대), Pa had been transformed into Chaek(책) or a kind of a hemp rap(건) while e headgear had still remained as the band form and called Marek from e Tang era(당). The literatures of the Tang era had referred the red Marek of soldiers, and other literatures of the later period had recorded that of the previous headgears of the band form were related with Marek. Since the Tang era, white or yellow Marek except red one fer soldiers had been were by soldiers, musicians, dancers and singers in Yuan(원) and Ming(명) of China. The colors was recorded in red on documents mostly, this red implicated soldiers for symbol of terror. This fart was documented in an old history book $\ll$The history of 25 Eras(이십오사)$\gg$, On the other side, a wall painting in Princess Jeonghyo(정효공주)'s tomb of the Parhae(발해) period described the portraits of twelve persons, and among them, two Siwui(시위) put on the red Marek. Quoted from the record of a history book of the Tang era system , a history book of Three Kingdoms(삼국시대) of ancient Korea $\ll$Samguksaki(삼국사기)$\gg$ described that four dancers of Kogryo(고구려) wore Marek on their heads with the costumes of Koguryo, one of those Kingdoms. In consideration that the book of $\ll$Tongjun$\gg$ was the literature of the Tang era so that Marek mentioned in this book was followed by their name, the Marek of Koguryo dancers shown in the history book $\ll$Samguksaki(삼국사기)$\gg$ might be a kind of Koguryo style hemp cap[Geon(건)]. The Marek of Parhae had succeeded to the headgear of Koguryo and the identity was on Koguryo.
