The aim of this thesis is to search the nature and the characteristics of Wuxing as a traditional chinese medical theory of Huang Di Nei Jing (Nei Jing). The nature of Wuxing in medical area is associated with cycling change over time. In Nei Jing, Wuxing theory is represented in various ways such as four-season's wuxing, win/antagonistic relationships of wuxing or five-taste, five-color, five-sound, etc. The beginning of Wuxing as a medical theory can not be correctly identified, but in general it is mentioned to be started from Warring States period. But, it doesn't mean the universal use of wuxing in the medical field in that period. Even though these theoretical represents included in one text, they were not originated from one era, not made by one group. They were from different ideological background and different theoretical contexts. Wuxing theory of Nei Jing was from outside of medical area in ancient society. Therefore, it had to be adjusted to meet the medical needs related to diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The emergence of Han dynasty affected to establish the theoretical structure of the archetypical idea of Wuxing. The archetypal ideas of Wuxing were developed and organized by the theoretical system of Han thoughts. Even after publishing of Nei Jing in the mid-to-late in Han dynasty, the medical Wuxing theory were continuously developed while passing new era.
