In the 18th century, Joseon and Japan corresponded politically and culturally through the Joseon Missionary. During this time, the people in Japan who received the Joseon Missionary left many records of their visits and among them were numerous accounts related to medicine, In the years 2003 and 2004, the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine gathered records that were dispersed throughout japan, and in 20005, it organized the information and put it up on the web along with the original text. This research is an overall report on the documentary records. It analyzes individual documents and looks into what the mainly interested the joseon and Japanese medical worlds at that time. The documents located up till now are 21 medical dialogue records from the 18th century. Through the process of these medical dialogues, the Joseon medical circle discovered a different side of japanese medicine, and the japanese medical world had a chance to directly receive advanced medical skills. Through these medical dialogues, the two countries also exchanged bountiful information about clinical patients. The japanese scholars showed deep interest in Joseon's ginseng, and asked many questions about practical usages of the contents in the medical documents. It is thought that these medical dialogue records will greatly assist studies on the medical history of this time, because it reveals new research data on Korean medical history and Japanese medical history in the latter half of the Joseon Dynasty that has never been reported in the academia before.

In this study, we took a look at Joseon's Korean-Japanese Medical Science Cultural Exchange Context through SangHanUiDam(桑韓醫談). SangHanUiDam(桑韓醫談)'s contents mainly include patient treatment and consultations on medical theory, starting from distinguishing medicine. Like the views many scholars that studied Joseon Diplomatic Missionary hold, even in SangHanUiDam(桑韓醫談)'s Medical Science Cultural Exchange, Japan shows great enthusiasm in taking in Joseon's medical culture.

Horace N. Allen, an American physician, was a Presbyterian missionary to Korea. In 1886, he wrote the annual report of the Korean government hospital, summarizing patient statistics according to outpatient and inpatient classification for the first ever in Korean history. In the report, he speculated that hemoptysis cases of outpatient might have been mainly caused by distoma. Allen's conjecture was noteworthy because only a few years lapsed since the first scientific report of paragonimiasis. However, he was not sure of his assumption either because it was not evidently supported by proper microscopic or post-mortem examinations. In this letter, we thus revisit his assumption with our parasitological data recently obtained from Joseon period mummies.

The origin of the Korean Screen Planisphere with both Traditional and New Star-Charts, made by Korean Astronomers in the Royal Astronomical Bureau of the Joseon Dynasty by adopting the knowledge of the European astronomy, is investigated by analyzing its inscriptions and star charts. The considerations on both the changes in notations or representations of names of asterisms and the naming taboos used in the Old-style planisphere imply that the star-chart is originated from either the Sukjong-Stele-Replica of Cheonsang-Yeolcha-Punyajido(天象列次分野之圖). The New style planisphere is just the reproduction of Huangdao-congxingtu (黃道總星圖), with the exception of the non-Chinese-traditional stars. The Huangdao-congxingtu was made in 1723 CE by Ignatius K$\ddot{o}$gler who was a Jesuit missionary and worked for the Bureau of Astronomy (欽天監) in the Qing Dyansty. I find that the star chart was imported in 1742 CE from the Qing by An Gukrin (安國麟) who was an astronomer in the Royal Astronomical Bureau of Joseon. The chart became model for the screen star-chart made in 1743 CE and now housed in Bopju temple. I found that the inscriptions are extracted from the sentences in both Xinzhi Lingtai Yixiangzhi (新製靈臺儀象志) and Qinding Yixiangkaocheng (欽定儀象考成). Korean historical records in either Daily Records of the Royal Secretariat of the Joseon Dynasty (承政院日記) or Annals of the Joseonn Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實錄) show that Xinzhi Lingtai-Yixiangzhi was imported from the Qing Dynasty in 1708 CE, and the Qinding Yixiangkaocheng was imported in 1766 CE. Thus, the Korean Screen Planisphere with both Old and New Star-charts was certainly made after 1766 CE.

1631년에 명(明)에 사신으로 다녀오던 정두원은 산둥(산동(山東)) 반도의 덩저우(등주(登州))에서 예수회 선교사인 조앙 로드리게스를 만났다. 로드리게스는 정두원에게 많은 다수의 서양 문물을 전해주었다. 정두원의 "서양국기별장계(西洋國奇別狀啓)"는 이 사건을 이해하는데 중요한 사료이다. 이 문헌은 고전 한문으로 되어 있으므로, 이 논문에서는 현대 한국어로 역주를 하였고, 그 과정에서 이전 연구자들이 오해한 여러 가지 사실들을 바로 잡았다. 이 문헌에 따르면, 정두원이 받아온 것은, 중국어로 저술된 서양 서적 네 권, 명(明) 조정에 홍이포(紅夷砲)를 바친 경위에 대한 보고서, 망원경, 수발총, 폴리오트식 기계 시계, 마테오 리치가 그린 세계지도, 천문도, 해시계 등이었다. 우리는 이 물품들이 한국 과학기술사 속에서 어떤 의미를 갖는지 논의한다. 특히 정두원의 서양 문물 전래는 한국 천문학사에서도 중요한데, 왜냐하면 그가 가져온 망원경이 한국사상 최초의 망원경이었기 때문이다. 당시 조선의 임금과 관리들은 망원경, 홍이포, 신식 조총과 같은 새로운 기술들이 군사적으로 유용함을 잘 알고 있었으나, 그럼에도 불구하고 결과적으로 이를 재빨리 수용하여 국방력을 강화하지 못했다. 우리는 당시 동아시아 과학기술사의 일반적인 역사에 비추어 보아 그 까닭을 재고해보려한다.

This paper analyses the railroad trunk line constructed in the Korea since the end of the 19th century. The analysis consists of the following problematics. 1) The process of the decision of the railroad route 2) The relationship of the location of Eupchi and the stations By clarifying the above, the purpose of this paper is to clarify how the morphology of the city in Korea has been affected by the change in the relationship with Korea and Japan. The Empire of Japan has been reconnoitering the Korea since way before the formal contract for the railroad construction was signed. Therefore, the Empire of Japan had a very good understanding of the actual transportation system when it started the construction of the railroad. The railroad construction was used by the Empire of Japan to empower the control over the Korea. For this reason, the new railroad system was constructed as a different system from the former transportation system and the urban system was also affected. Also the relationship of the western powers and Japan around the turn of the 20th century defined the characteristic of the railway system as a pathway through the Korean peninsular to link Japan to the continent. Moreover, being apprehensive about the friction with the western, Japan located the railway stations to avoid the missionary land properties. This made it clear that the restraint relationship between Japan and the western affected the urban special structure.
