The 「Shinhyeong(Body)」 chapter is one of the most important of the 『Donguibogam(Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine)』 and can be regarded as the outline of text as a whole. This research compares this chapter with the 「Yangseongmun(Nourishing the inner nature)」 chapter of 『Euibangyoochui(Classified Assemblage of Medical Prescriptions)』 and shows how the two books are related through these two chapters. This research shows that, relating to nutrition literature, the most frequently cited contents in 『Donguibogam』 「Shinhyeong」 from 『Euibangyoochui』 「Yangseongmun」 occurred through 「Qianjinfang(千金方)」(13 times) and 「Quxianhuorenxin(臞仙活人心)」(7 times). Meanwhile, only the contents related to internal training, such as 「Xiuzhenmijue(修眞秘訣)」(7 times) and 「Jindandacheng(金丹大成)」(7 times), were selected in 『Donguibogam』 「Shinhyeong」 from 『Euibangyoochui』 「Yangseongmun」. Through this study, it was found that all seven volumes of 『Euibangyoochui』 「Yangseongmun」 were cited in 『Donguibogam』 「Shinhyeong」, so it can be said that 『Donguibogam』 「Shinhyeong」 was greatly influenced by 『Euibangyoochui』 「Yangseongmun」. We hope this research will serve as the basis for future research on the relationship between 『Donguibogam』 and 『Euibangyoochui』.
