There are two different views on the relationship between "Tao Te Ching" and the life nurturing thoughts. Some researchers think that the life nurturing is a main idea of "Tao Te Ching", but others do not. By analysing the related terminologies to life nurturing thoughts in the "Tao Te Ching", we came to the conclusions as below. 1. Chapters which mentioned about the life nurturing thoughts include chapter 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 16, 19, 20, 22, 24, 30, 35, 42, 44, 46, 50, 52, 55, 73, and 81. 2. Of 21 chapters that related with the life nurturing thoughts, 19 chapters mentioned about the mind nurturing(精神養生). It showed that "Tao Te Ching" put special emphasis on the mental health in the aspect of life nurturing. 3. There are 5,283 characters in "Tao Te Ching", but only 422 characters were used to mention about the life nurturing thoughts.

And the influences that Dogyogwonseonseo had on Nurturing Theory of Lee-Jema. Method : We sort out the identical or similar vocabularies and abstract the important concepts from all four kinds of Dogyogwonseonseo and two kinds of Lee-Jema's books mentioned above and compare them respectively. The prehistories of vocabularies and concepts needed such as Bok(福, good fortune) and Su (壽, longevity) will be traced. And the synchronic understanding needed such as 'Good deed leads to longevity and good fortune whereas evil deed leads to short life' in late Choseon dynasty will be surveyed by investigating the controversy of the time. Results : The Nurturing Theory of Lee-Jema was influenced by all four kinds of Dogyogwonseonseo mentioned above. We can ascertain the influence from Lee-Jema's Concept of Myeong(命), Nurturing Life through everyday life, 'Good deed leads to longevity and good fortune whereas evil deed leads to short life', deceiving mind(詐心), betraying mind(欺負心) and the jealousy of Man and Woman.

Although the demand on 'Ki' training because of the increased interest in health, there has not been an established theory and system in 'Ki' training from the perspective of oriental medicine. Therefore, many training associations are in operation without sound basis. The general use of the terminology 'Kigong' is the influence of China. As it was distributed to the general public through the translation and introduction of Chinese Kigong theory, the genuine Korean YangsaengKigong was not emphasized but it was included in or considered as the second-class to the Chinese Kigong. The purpose of the study was to establish and review YangsaengKigong based on our traditional ideologies. Korean Yangsaengkigong can be defined as the training method nurturing mind, energy, body based on the Sambeob training method such as Pause of thinking, Modulation of breath and Prohibition of sensibility with the goal of Yangsaengkigong, good health and long life and the maximum service for the benefit of humanity. Although this study can identify the differecnes between Korean Yangseangkigong and Chinese kigong through Korean traditional ideology, we could not develop this study to the necessity of ideological background of medical Kigong and concrete methodology of Yangsaengkigong and our traditional ideology because of scarce literature on Korea and Korean traditional ideologies. For the purspose of the study, we need cooperation between Studies of Korea, Studies of National History, and Oriental Medicine.
