조선조 命課學 試取書 『徐子平』에 관한 연구

Abstract

Seojapyeong (徐子平) was defined in Yejeon (禮典) of Gyeongguk-daejeon (經國大典) in the 12th year of King Sejo’s reign (1466) and used as a major book of Myeonggwahak (命課學) specialists and an exam subject of Myeonggwahak (命課學) over a period of 400 years till the latter half of Joseon. Containing an introduction and epilogue, it was a book on Saju-myeongri (四柱命理) whose writing time and author were known clearly. Yeonhae-japyeong (淵海子平), which is recognized to have built a new foundation for Saju-myeongri (四柱命理) science, found its basic framework in Seojapyeong (徐子平). Seojapyeong (徐子平) consists of two volumes written by Seo Dae-seung, who inherited the skills on Sammyeong (三命) from Seo Ja-pyeong and was active in late Southern Song Dynasty. It is comprised of Seo Dae-seung’s introduction, Volume One discussing the lists and Ganmyeong-ipsik (看命入式), Volume 2 discussing 18 gyeokguk (格局), and Jeon Ji-ong’s epilogue. It encompasses the major theories of Japyeong-saju (子平四柱). The perceptions and characteristics implied in Seojapyeong (徐子平) include ① emphasis on Gwanseong (官星), ② emphasis on Jaeseong (財星), ③ emphasis on Shinwang (身旺) of Ilju (日主), ④ focus on Ilgan (日干) and Wollyeong (月令), ⑤ emphasis on Junghwajigi (中和之氣), ⑥ differences in the perceptions of Samwon (三元), and ⑦ interest in Geonrok (建祿), Insu (印綬), and Hyeong-chung-pa-hae (刑沖破害) and combination with Shinsal (身殺).
