고문헌에 나타난 천문 현상에 따른 풍흉과 길흉 예측―해, 달, 별을 통한 예측과 민속과의 상관성을 중심으로―

Abstract

We examined how astronomical phenomena such as sun, moon, and stars are predicted from various literatures such as writings on seasonal customs, personal literatures, agricultural books, and encyclopedic literatures. First, when looking at the sun predict it, it is mainly about rain and wind. When it is the ring around the sun, it rains, and when the ears are in the sun, it becomes clear or cloudy. If there is ear on the south side of the sun, it becomes clear. If there is ear on the north side of the sun, it becomes rains and if there are two ears, it becomes stop raining. People generally think that the color of the halo of the sun is good if it is yellow and it is not good if the color is different. Next, if you look at the moon and predict it, the moon is red, and it is said to be drought. And when the moonlight is white, it is said that there is a lot of rain and floods. On the other hand, it was said that if it was yellow or dark yellow, it was good year. When there was the halo of the moon, the wind was broken. Next, the methods of forecasting of the Pleiades view are relatively mixed. In other words, when the distance between the moon and the Pleiades is close and the Pleiades is behind the moon, it is seen as a good year. On the contrary, there were cases in which they were recognized. This aspect continues until now, and the standards of forecasting of the Pleiades view is different according to the region. When starlight was unstable, people generally saw that the wind was mostly blowing. Next, sun eclipses and lunar eclipses were generally regarded as bad signs. Even if the colors and brightness of the Oseong (五星) are normal, they are peaceful. But when the Oseong are different from their original state, or when two or more planets are Hab (合), Su (守), Beom (犯), or Tu (鬪), the disaster occurred. In addition, people are all ominous signs when they see Yoseong (妖星), Gaegseong (客星), Yuseong (流星, meteor), and Hyeseong (彗星, comet). Finally, when we look at the relationship between astronomical predictive documents and folklore, it is necessary to keep in mind that much of the folklore may have originated in the literature. This viewpoint should be kept in mind also in the study of folklore in the future.
