혈(穴)의 본원적 의미와 중(中) 사상과의 연관성

Abstract

This study aims to understand and enhance the intrinsic meaning of hyeol(穴) through the origin of hyeol. Hyeol is a "cave-shaped house," a residential style, analyzed through etymology. Based on this, if you trace the origin of hyeol, you will arrive at the loess plateau, the center of the Yellow River civilization. Originally, The meaning of hyeol in origin, first, hyeol originated from the Chinese residential style. This is the starting point of fengshui. Second, hyeol is the product of human's unique natural adaptation survival instinct. This meaning later develops into a unique fengshui idea in East Asia. Third, the culture of settlement begins with hyeol. Residence is influenced by the physical and objective environment and the subjective and psychological environment that make up human life. As a result, hyeol becomes a key place in ancient Chinese culture. Fourth, the hyeol becomes the center of the world (universe: time and space). It has a worldview that recognizes the world around the hyeol that humans stay in. Fifth, hyeol stopped moving humans. The hyeol made it possible for humans to settle down and lead a collective life through farming and herding. The meaning of the origin of hyeol is naturally connected with the idea of ​​fengshui. Fengshui essentially inherits the original meaning of hyeol, which is 'the best place for humans to stay', and uses 'hyeol' as its core. Therefore, fengshui started with hyeol. Looking at the evidence that the idea of ​​fengshui originated from the hyeol of the loess plateau, First, Baesan Imsu(背山 臨水), a representative natural geographical location principle of fengshui, originated from the location of the hyeol in the loess plateau. It is said that the mountain where the hyeol is located is regarded as the main mountain(主山) on which the hyeol of fengshui leans, and the field (water) spread out in front of the hyeol is regarded as the myeongdang(明堂) of fengshui. Second, the fact that earth (土) was placed in the center of the five elements was attributed to the idea of ​​hyeol as the center of the world. The formula is established that hyeol is the center of the world (穴=中), hyeol is earth(土) (穴=土), that is, earth(土) becomes center(中) (土=中). Also, the fact that the color that symbolizes the center of the five elements is yellow is derived from the yellow color of the loess plateau, the origin of hyeol. In addition, the shape of tohyeongsan(土形山), which is used in fengshui, also matches the shape of the mountain in the loess plateau. Third, the tomb styles, the Hoenghyeolsik(橫穴式) and the Suhyeolsik(竪穴式), are derived from the Goaesig(靠崖式) and Hachimsig(下沈式), which are the hyeol types of the loess plateau. The customs of Tojang (土葬) are also derived from the hyeol of the loess plateau, the habitation style, and the soil quality of Gwangjung(壙中) is also typical of the soil of the loess plateau. Another meaning of the origin of hyeol is middle(中). The Chinese structure the world by living at the hyeol. Hyeol has a unique value as it becomes the central place of the world. The place is an anthropocentric thinking where human emotions exist. Therefore, hyeol has value as the center of the world to the Chinese and is signified as an idea. It's just a Jung sasang(中 思想). The Jung sasang(中 思想) develops into the core idea of ​​China along with the central concept(中 觀念) of the five elements discussed above. The meaning of the Chinese character(中 字) in China(中國) is also rooted in the Jung sasang(中 思想) originating from hyeol. In summary, hyeol originates from the 'cave-type house', a residential style of the loess plateau, the center of the Yellow River civilization. The Chinese are born at hyeol, live around the hyeol, and die at hyeol. Hyeol is the eternal hometown that transcends life and death for the Chinese, and it is the center of the Five Elements, the center of position, and the center of the world. China's economy, politics, and culture begin from the hyeol, and major ideas originate. The intrinsic meaning of hyeol is very special and meaningful.
