The primary reason for the uprising interest and research concerning constitutional medicine is due to a shift in paradigm; from one that treats based on symptoms to one that emphasizes unique personal traits such as living conditions and psychological factors. Of the Cheoninseongmyeong(天人性命), the components of Seongmyeong(性命) theory on constitutilnal medicine, this study discusses how the Hyegak(慧覺) of Juchaek(籌策), Gyeongryun(經綸), Haenggeom(行檢) and Doryang(度量), the 4 components of Sung(性), and the Ja-eop(資業) of Sikgyeon(識見), Wiui(威儀), Jaegan(材幹) and Bang-yak(方略), the 4 components of Myeong(命) are assigned to each of the 4 different constitutional types. Ultimate Hyegak[絶世之慧覺] and Goodman's Ja-eop[大人之資業] can change according to the individual's will to overcome one's shortcomings despite the correlations made between Hyegak(慧覺) and Ja-eop(資業) of the 4 elements of given Seongmyeong(性命) and the 4 constitutions. The focal point in the discussion of Dongmu's Jihaeng theory is that any flaws one might have ought to be overcome by following in the footsteps of others who are better and any gifts ought to be shared with those who don't have the privilege to enjoy it. Thus, from the fact that Dongmu's Jihaeng theory is not one that confines one to a certain body type but is meant to be the basis for realizing which paths, or Seongmyeong(性命), ought to be taken, we can learn how to overcome disadvantages due to body constitution. Furthermore, Dongmu's Suyang(修養) theory is significant and valuable in that it can not only be utilized to bring personal welfare and longevity but also to achieve a healthy and moral society.
