퇴계선생 胎室과 老松亭에 대한 風水地理學的 고찰

Abstract

The heaven, the ground and the person, which are the basis of Feng-Shui's idea, mean heavenly time, geography and harmony among men respectively. They are based on the heavenly energy, earthly energy, and atmospheric energy that enable us to live a basic life as a human being. Therefore, Feng-Shui can be said to be a fundamental subject science for maintaining human life. This means that men can be supplied with living necessaries at a space of settlement where positive energy is received, earthly energy is delivered, and good spirit is gathered. Based on this, human beings try to form a family and live. Therefore, the location of Yangtaek refers to a Jangpungdeuksu location, a safe place where water and food can be easily obtained, and protection is secured from natural dangers. Humans instinctively have a primordial nature to have many descendants. Therefore, it can be said that men want to secure a place of settlement for the family, and to have healthy, good people born into a living environment where a family can live a comfortable life without worrying about invading outsiders or natural disasters. The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of Yangtaek's location and settlement place by analyzing the Toegye's Taesil (Delivery room) at Nosongjeong where Toegye Lee, Hwang was conceived and born, and to examine how to apply it to modern life. In addition, it examines the recognition and application of Feng-Shui by analyzing the characteristics of the houses and the housing environment of the time; from the macro view centered on the Nosongjeong, and a micro view centered on the Toegye Taesil. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, analysis of the geographical characteristics of Nosongjeong based on the Taesil, where master Toegye was conceived and born, show the good connection of the Yongmaek from Mt. Jojong to Mt. Jusan, and the positive energy of the Maek on a continuum from the high to the low. The condition of Feng-Shui was analyzed to be good due to Ansan's good correspondence and the force of water surrounding it. Second, analysis of the building structure of the inner house with Taesil, the location of the Taesil, the overall architectural structure and the interior of the Taesil showed that most of the traditional houses are in the shape of ‘—, ‘⊓’, or ‘□’. The inner house of Nosongjeong with Toegye Taesil is built in the shape of ‘▣’ showing a significant variety with the general traditional houses. Even considering the living environment of the time, the settlement space of the Toegye Taesil, according to the residential environment, is completely different from the arrangement of the inner room in the general traditional house. Therefore, the location and settlement space of Nosongjeong and Toegye Taesil is analyzed in terms of Feng-Shui. The choice of location of Nosongjeong and the structural characteristics of the house suggest that Feng-Shui is thoroughly applied so that energy is converged to the Toegye Taesil. The application of Feng-Shui as such became the foundation of production of a good figure like master Toegye. Therefore, proper recognition and application of Feng-Shui is needed in modern society, and it is expected that the Feng-Shui is applied as a practical science and rational life science.
