Abstract
This paper focuses on the miasma epidemic of 1018. Information about this miasma epidemic was recorded in Goryeosa and proves that the Goryeo people understood the nature of this new epidemic. Goryeo developed its medical care system in response to this miasma epidemic. It sent physicians and medicaments to the capital and established provincial pharmacies. Since Goryeo specifically named the disease rather than simply refer to it as an epidemic, we can infer that there had been an improvement in the recognition of epidemics. While there is no definitive way to say where the miasma epidemic began, it likely came by land from Khitan or by sea with the delegates and traders from Song. In 1020, Goryeo requested a new Chinese medical text from Song China and tried to adopt Song medicine. Thus this new epidemic stimulated the development of medicine in the Goryeo dynasty.
