碩士 === 玄奘大學 === 宗教學系碩士在職專班 === 97 === Zhu-you-ke is originally one type of ceremony, but it indeed is one ring of medical care in the medicine field. In this article, it will be based on historical evolution to investigate the change of Zhu-you-ke in the medicine field; from the record in the literature, the role played by Zhu-you in official medical care development process and the cause of its final die-out will be summarized; meanwhile, the belief issue on Zhu-you medical care between the government and the public will be understood, and the difference between them will be compared too. In addition to the Zhu-you in the medical field, there is still one ring that worth investigation, that is, the Zhu-you therapy between Taoism and witch; Taoism is religious organization but witchery does not belong to complete religion but both of them are indivisible; however, witchery is not equal to religion but religion includes witchery. Therefore, close and indivisible factors exist between them, among them, the ones that are known to most people are worship and witchery. However, the major reason that this article proposed the view point of worship is to analyze the Shen-Ling-Kuan of Zhu-you-ke and the basis of belief. We try to find out the true meaning behind belief. However, in Sung Dynasty, Zhu-you had become Shu-Chin-Ke, indeed, Fu and Zhou are the forms for medical care. However, the therapy of Fu-Zhou can be traced back to the Taoism groups right before and after Tai-Ping-Tao and Wu-Tou-Mi-Tao in Tung-Han Dynasty. Later on, the government medical organization in Sung Dynasty had approved the therapy way using Fu-Zhou, which is indeed an encouragement to the religious groups. When we investigate the content of Zhu-you-ke, we will find, in addition to the therapeutic ways of Fu drawing, Fu text and Zhou sentence, the medical care provider will also apply certain secret force to achieve the cure effect. The cure could be said to be a combination of three and none of them can be absent. Therefore, from the simple Zhu-you cure to the evolution of Fu-Shui for the medical therapy, no matter what way is taken, the difference in final purpose between Taoist and witch help to create the difference between witchery and religion. Relative to Zhu-you ceremony, both of them still differ to each other; but to Taoism, Fu-lu is one of the important techniques that they rely on, let’s forget about the medical care aspect, the history also records that non-religious person still emphasizes very much on Fu-lu, that is, Fu-lu is one type of spiritual symbol. Therefore, the scope that can be handled by Zhu-you Fu-lu is very extensive; hence, through the investigation of Zhu-you Fu-lu, we can understand the contemporary living environment that is evolved from the culture.
