Abstract
Water, in a life being, is as essential as the essence derived from food is in maintaining one's life. The concepts are expressed in forms of "food and drink[水穀] " and " drink-food[飮食]" in the 『Hwangjenakyoung』 and most of the other oriental medicine related references. Following the steps of human body's metabolism, the water source builds up characteristic formations, such as body fluid·blood·perspiration·urine·essence[精], in each transforming phase according to the nature of the Ki that propels the transformation. And each characteristic formations has its' own suitable duties, distinctive features and its' field of activation. The vital energy of life is identified as a positive[陽] property due its' fluidity and its' formless nature. So in order for the vital energy to come into its' own, it needs to weld into one with the material-natured body of negative[陰] property which will embrace the positive property and transform into body fluid. Water taken into a body will undergo the first activation of Ki, dissolving the Wigi[胃氣] and the Wongi[元氣] and transforming into the primary body fluid. The delicates among the dissolved Ki will once again go through a transformation in the Jungcho[中焦]. It will turn into red blood, with influence of the vital function. When the vital energy completes it's duties in all parts of the body, it combines with water again and transforms into the secondary body fluid. This is when the Takgi[濁氣] gets filtered and the new enriched essence is created.
