  • It is difficult that we understand "Due to pathogenic Gi(因於氣)" in "Somun(素問) Saenggitongcheonron(生氣通天論)", because that is too many comments. We are to interpret Gi(氣) as Wind(風) or Anger(怒). However, the most reasonable explanation is to Yang-Gi weakness(陽氣虛). In other words, pathogenic Gi of four seasons should violate Yang-Gi(陽氣) and become a Yang-Gi weakness. Sayu(四維) can be interpreted as limbs[四肢], the last month of each of the four seasons[四季], four seasons[四時]. It is a logical view of the four seasons. This meaning is that it was already Yang-Gi weakness state by pathogenic-Gi of four seasons which violate Yang-Gi(陽氣), again the pathogenic Gi of four seasons violate Yang-Gi. As a result Yang-Gi will drain.

  • Keeping in step with four seasons, Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the heaven and earth(天地) has been born(生), grown(長), coverted(化), gained(收), and kept(藏) by interaction of yiyang and yuqi(五氣: 木火土金水).

So, we now know that the human's body and nature interact each other. The oriental medical science has been studied the effect that the nature's change influences on human body. Now, I get some idea that using herb medicine and acupuncture should have hanged following the change of four seasons. We know that there is a cycle in nature. Every day sun arise and down, and every month moon gets full and new. And every year, four seasons orderly change, from spring to winter. All of this is the law of nature and human body adapts this law. Man always shows the physiological phenomena which changes under the law of nature, especially the turning of the seasons. Therefore, we should use different medical methods in different seasons.

  • Fashion magazine advertising is the most excellent source of information in predicting the fashion trend. It plays a pivotal role in setting a direction for the fashion trend in the upcoming season. The purpose of this study was to review by photos of the $pr{\hat{e}}t-{\acute{a}}-porter$ collection shown in LONDON, NEW YORK, MILAN, and PARIS during 2002-2006 A/W and 2003-2005 S/S seasons, being focused on such fashion items published as coat, dress, one-piece, two-pieces(jacket+skirt/pants, blouse+skirt/pants). In the results of this study, designers presented coat(n=144) chiefly, blouse+pants(n=29) were presented few during 2002-2003 A/W seasons. During 2003-2004 A/W seasons one-piece(n=156) was looking bullish, blouse+pants(n=34) were declining. Dress(n=149) was presented mostly, blouse+pants(n=17) was presented few during 2004-2005 A/W seasons. During 2005-2006 A/W seasons coat(n=180) was revived, blouse+pants(n=26) were presented lowly. Therefore designers presented coat(n=605, 28.4%) extremely much during 2002-2006 A/W seasons. Designers presented one-piece(n=109) much, jacket+pants(n=22) were presented few in 2003 S/S. In 2004 S/S seasons one-piece(n=167) was presented vastly different than jacket+pants(n=42). Also one-piece(n=152) was presented mostly, blouse+pants(n=48) was presented few in 2005 S/S seasons. During 2003-2005 S/S seasons one-piece(n=428, 28.2%) was presented most. And designers in these four world fashion centers didn't prefer blouse+pants in A/W seasons and jacket+pants in S/S seasons. Based on the above findings, it could be confirmed that the fashion items trend was almost similar among the four collections of $pr{\hat{e}}t-{\acute{a}}-porter$. The results of this study suggest that the fashion collections are the most reliable information sources for fashion product planning. Lastly, it is hoped that this study will provide for some useful basic data for domestic fashion businesses in producing fashion items.

  • There is a acupuncture method which make a difference according to the four seasons, according to body region or depth in skin. We call it Acupuncture follow the four seasons(四時刺法). In several chapters of Huangdineijing(黃帝內經) introduced Acupuncture follow the four seasons. Acupuncture follow the four seasons has two kinds of acupuncture method that is to acupuncture at body region and to acupuncture at five Su points(五兪穴). To use five Su points(五兪穴) according to Yongchu(靈樞) disagree with Nanjing(難經). In Yongchu(靈樞), the five phases property disagree with five Su points(五兪穴), but in Nanjing(難經) the five phases property agree with five Su points(五兪穴). Even if we can acupuncture the same point, there will be the different effect according as what is the purpose of doing acupuncture, and when we do acupuncture. That is to say, we can use apucupuncture for the purpose of prevention in Yongchu(靈樞), and for the purpose of healing the disease in Nanjing(難經). Therefore, because we select the point on the base of meridian Kis origin which spring out, we have to acupuncture Chong point(井穴) in winter according to Yongchu(靈樞). Because we select the point on the base of meridian Kis origin which flowing, we have to acupuncture Chong point(井穴) in spring according to Nanjing(難經). And in the base of five phases' property, the purpose of selecting five Su points(五兪穴) is the prevention according to Yongchu(靈樞), and the healing according to Nanjing(難經). So even though we acupuncture the exactly same Chong point(井穴), we can expect the effect that acupuncture method supply Ki for liver in winter. and the effect that it extract pathogenic Ki(邪氣) from the liver in spring.

  • Huang di's Four Classics introduces the first full-scale Yin-Yang theory. The ancient idea of Yin-Yang could be classified systematically throughout Huang di's Four Classics and make itself the cause of creation, movement, and variation. The Tao of essence and Reason-Law(理法) is a single 'One'(一) and completes the reality of Tao adopting Yin-Yang as an elementary. The elementary of Yin-Yang has rules and laws and then the Tao manifest itself through Yin-Yang. The features of Yin-Yang theory in Huang di's Four Classics are placed on the explanation of the structure of the universe embodied as class and system. The class and system are the structured worlds in the space based on the upper and lower sides Yin-Yang idea(上下陰陽觀). It means the system by Yin-Yang theory, corresponding to the flat structure of the Sky and the Earth mentioned in Gaitian theory, one of the ancient theory of the universe structure. By adopting Huang di's Four Classics' Tian-zhi Yin-Yang theory(天地陰陽論) and developing the class system in human bodies, The Hwangjenegyeng appreciates human bodies as a whole. In addition, by applying Four seasons Yin-Yang theory not only to human bodies but also to the space of Liu-he(六合) and the time of Four Seasons(四時), it developed Yin-Yang theory of Huang di's Four Classics more abundantly and embodied Yin-Yang theory in many fields including physiology, pathology, diagnostics, and prescriptions.
