Lack of historical records causes some difficulties in the historical studies of ancient Korea. It is the same case as that of the history of medicine. We imagine what the situation of medicine was like in ancient Korea with a bit of historical records. In ancient times, medicine had very close relation with religions. In ancient Korea, it had very close relation with Buddhism. According to Sam Kuk Sa Ki and Sam Kuk Yu Sa buddhist monks treated patients with the religious rituals. In this article, the authors would like to present a record which had been unnoticed until now. It is the commentary of Wonhyo on a certain Buddhistic cannon called Kum Kwang Myung Kyung. A chapter (Je Byung Poom) of this cannon is on the theory of medicine, causes of diseases and treatments. We can presume Wonhyo's knowledge of medicine at that time through his commentary on this chapter.
缺乏历史记录给古代韩国的历史研究带来了一些困难。医学史也是如此。我们凭借少量的历史记录来想象古代韩国医学的状况。在古代，医学与宗教关系非常密切。在古代韩国，它与佛教关系极为紧密。据《三国史记》和《三国遗事》记载，佛教僧侣用宗教仪式治疗病人。在本文中，作者想要呈现一份至今未被注意到的记录。它是元晓对一部名为《金光经》的佛教经典的注释。这部经典的一个章节（《诸病品》）论述了医学理论、病因和治疗方法。通过他对这一章节的注释，我们可以推测元晓当时的医学知识。
