According to each literature record, the propitious site respectively has its own separate meanings and logics which is clarified in the book, 줥he Apologetics of Propitious Site?Oju-Yeonmun jangjeon-Sango(뚙뢊윥빒뮮秀랼뛢). Above all, the propitious site also has various theories and principles especially in the view of spatial layout, shape and system. The principles and logics were applied to Feng shui, and flat ground in front of the energy concentration point, called Hyeoul(뙄) has been recognized as an ideal spot. which place has been called 갻Myoungdang갽 in Korean. As has been mentioned in the book, Myoungsan-ron(뼻랹?), Feng shui has the background of utilization and logic, which is variously shown in traditional architecture. First, in the palace, the building for performing ancestral rites and ceremony reflects it, and in the traditional house, center yard of the house shows the principle. And in the traditional village, the logic is also exposed in the village itself and the front farmland of it. Therefore, regardless of position, the Feng shui logic was an important feature for architectural space organization of the Joseon period.
