Case 146. 제 4규 智(지)......지혜......第172事   Section 4 : Wisdom(智,지)... Wisdom... Article 172. 제 32모 預劑(예제)......미리 약을 다려 먹음......第182事.  Chapter 32 : Preventive Medicine(預劑,예제)... Brewing and Taking Medicine in Advance... Matter No.182 預劑(예제)란 병이 나기 전에 미리 약을 다려서 먹는 것이다. "Preventive Medicine(預劑,예제)" refers to brewing and taking medicine in advance,  before an illness actually manifests. 진흙탕에빠진 뒤에 붙들면, 술에 취하여 넘어진 다음에 물로 씻는다면이것은 사물을 보고서 구제하는 것이니 그 지혜가 微物(미물)만도 못한 것이라 할 수 있다.  If one only reaches out to help after falling into the mud,  or washes with water only after tripping from drunkenness,  this is merely reacting to a situation after the fact.  Such wisdom can be said to be inferior even to that of the lowliest creatures. 땅의 기운이 장차 젖으려 할 때에 개미와 땅강아지는 미리 구멍을 봉한다.  When the energy of the earth is about to become damp,   ante and mole crickets seal their holes in advance.  [Original Text, 원문]  預劑者는 病前煎藥也라 (예제자는 병전전약야라)  "Preventive Medicine(預劑,예제)" refers to brewing and taking medicine before an illness manifests. 埴壑而後扶하고 醉倒而後灌이니 (치학이후부하고 취도이후관이니)    If one only reaches out to support someone after they have fallem into a muddy pit,    or pours water to wash them only after they have tripped from drunkenness,是는 見物而濟之라  (시는 견물이제지라)  this is merely reacting and providing relief only after withessing the situation firsthand. 智不如微物乎아 地氣將濕에 蟻螻封穴이니라. (지불여미물호아   지기장습에   의루봉혈이니라.) Is such wisdom not inferior even to that of the lowliest creatures? When the energy of the earth is about to become damp,  ants and mole crickets already seal their holes in advance.  [Commentary, 풀이] 병이 나지않게 하는 것이 상책이지만  Preventing an illness from occurring in the first place is the best possible course of action, 이미 병이들 기미가 있다면 병이나기전에 약을 먹는 것이 효과적이다. but if there are already signs of an impending illness,  taking medicine before it fully breaks out is highly effective. 세상의모든 일이 마찬가지일 것이다.  The same holds true for all matters in the world.
