Abstract

In the early days of the Joseon Dynasty, the meaning-pattern Yi-ology perspective played a leading role, however, image-numerology gradually emerged in the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty. While meaning-pattern Yi-ology was the mainstream, image-numerology gradually showed a leading aspect in the Joseon Dynasty. Actually, there are slightly different reasons of such a transition. At early stages, the innate essence and generalities of Gua-yao's symbols were paid attention, as numerology or cosmology was adopted as a methodological means to consolidate the realization of moral virtue, which is the directing point of meaning-pattern Yi-ology. However, in the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty, image-numerology seemed to expand its scope to the domain of preception on universe and nature. And then, image-numerology faced with another change through skepticism on Zhuxi's view of the world. The mainstream of image-numerology introduced in the Joseon Dynasty was not the one in the Han Dynasty, but it was clearly overwhelming those days, if it is viewed from the iconographic image-numerology's influence aspect, centered on iconography including Hetu and luoshu and the diagram of the pre-natal eight trigrams. Here, it was Zhuxi's iconographic image-numerology, centered on Yixueqimeng, that played a critical role. This paper aims to examine how iconographic image-numerology, which was combined with Yixueqimeng, centered on Hetu and luoshu, and Shaoyong's pre-natal image-numerology, focused on the diagram of the sequence of the eight trigrams, was accepted, interpreted and criticized in the Joseon Dynasty through Toegye Yi Hwang, Jang Hyeon-gwang, Seo Myeong-eung, Yi Ik and Dasan Jeong Yak-yong. The author expects that an opportunity to discuss the iconographic characteristics of Yi-ology of Korea is provided through this study.
