Objectives : This study was aimed to investigate the view of disease and the view of body in Zubi Shiyi Mai Jiujing. Methods : With Zubi Shiyi Mai Juijing which was excavated from Mawangdui Han Dynasty tomb, we compared this document to other three documents excavated from Mawangdui. Results : 1. Zubi Shiyi Mai Jiujing is the oldest document about meridian pulse system excavated. 2. Zubi Shiyi Mai Jiujing sorted disease to Yang bing and san Yin bing. Yang bing is Zu san yang mai's disease and San yin bing is Zu san yin mai's disease. Zu san yang mai's diseases are mostly pain and swelling. 3. Zu san yin mai's diseases are zu shao yin mai which is realated to pulsation and respiration, Zu tai yin mai which is realated to stomach and digestion, Zu jue yin mai which is related to excretion. 4. The most important symptom in Zubi Shiyi Maizu san yin mai is Fan xin. It is realated to Zubi Shiyi Mai thinking Zu shao yin mai important about concept of body. Because in Zubi Shiyi MaiZu tai yin mai and Zu jue yin mai does'nt come up to abdominal cavity so Zu shao yin mai is the only meridian which comes into body cavity. Conclusions : Zu san yin mai is related to heart and fan xin by Zu shao yin mai. In this perspective Zu shao yin mai is important in view of body of Zubi Shiyi Mai Jiujing.
