The aim of this article is to examine traditional knowledge of the people who gather medicinal herbs and sociocultural meanings as intangible culture. For this, I divided to four important factors the transmissional aspects of it so as to operationalism and explanation. They are conditions of inhabitation and growth of medicinal herbs, norms and religions, skill and knowledge for gathering of medicinal herbs, the use of folk therapy, etc. Collectors of medicinal herbs(ginseng diggers, herbalists) have carried out their gathering tasks based on natural knowledge about conditions of inhabitation and growth of medicinal herbs, and are closely connected with mountain configuration, soil and climate, etc.Traditional knowledge of medicinal herb gatherers involves various sociocultural meanings as intangible culture because it contains the recognition orientation and speculation about the reciprocity between natural ecology and medicinal herbs and concerning norm and religious belief, skill and knowledge for gathering medicinal herbs. This is namely the 'culture complex of gathering of medicinal herbs' and shows the original form and its continuation of mankind's gathering folk of medicinal herbs. It is necessary for planning the way of conservation, transmission and use of it through the recognition and rediscovery of the values of intangible culture, being involved in traditional knowledge of medicinal herb gatherers. First, a response for conservation, transmission of intangible culture must be expended. For this, we have to abstract the factors of traditional knowledge from medicinal herb gatherers. Second, we have to register their traditional knowledge as intangible cultural heritage connecting to the national system of professional collectors of medicinal herbs. Moreover, we must hurry up the construction of a digital archive and an exhibition hall for the gathering folk of medicinal herbs.
