천지인 삼재사상(三才思想)에서 인원(人元)에 관한 고찰 - 지장간(支藏干)의 구성원리를 중심으로

Abstract

The theory of Samjae, the foundational idea of East Asian culture, consists of heaven, earth and human and expresses heaven as Cheon, earth as Ji, and human, the lord of creation, as In. The theory of Myeogrihak Samwon(三元論) is composed of Cheonwon(天元), Jiwon(地元) and Inwon(人元), and Inwon among Samwon is called Jijanggan. As the theoretical background of the composition principle of Jijanggan, ‘the theory of Cheongyeongjijung(天輕地重說)’ in the process of the formation of the universe was introduced, and described in the categories of ‘the theory of Sipeeunseongbeop’, ‘the theory of Towangsagye’, ‘the theory of Samjae’ and ‘the theory of Cheonmun.’ In particular, in ‘the theory of Cheongyeongjijung’, Jigi(地氣) consisting of heavy and thick Gi in the process of the creation of the universe is not uniform, but includes different kinds of creatures[木], warmth[火], soil[土], minerals[金] and water[水], and this principle was adopted as the formation principle of Jijanggan. The reason why Muto(戊土) cannot be allocated to Haeji(亥支) which was explained as the composition principle in some documents is that it becomes Jeolji(絶地) according to ‘the theory of Hwatodonggung’, the logic that Muto is allocated to Sinji(申支) because it corresponds to ‘the theory of Sutodonggung’ was considered as a farfetched view, and the reason for the allotment of Muto to the Jijanggan of Sin(申) and Hae(亥) was seen to lie in the necessity for the mediating role of To. In Samaengji(四孟地), Muto is used as the Yeogi(餘氣) of the previous month, Junggi(中氣) is made up of Yanggan(陽干) of the Five Elements applied to the next season and becomes Jangsaengji(長生地) of the Yanggan, and Bongi[Jeonggi(正氣)] becomes Yanggan of the Five Elements coming under the present season. Myo(卯), Yu(酉) and Ja(子) of Sajungji(四仲地) is composed of Eumgan of Bongi, and Oh(午) applies the theory of Hwatodonggung and posesses Jeong(丁) and Gi(己). Sagoji(四庫地) becomes Goji(庫地) of the Five Elements of all the seasons, and possesses Eumgan of the Five Elements corresponding to the whole seasons, that of the relevant season and Bongi of Sagyeto(四季土). It is for arbitration that soil(土) exists most among the Five Elements assigned to Jijanggan. When Jijanggan is calculated as Jijiyukhap(地支六合), fire(火) exists most, and it seems like supplementation to the fact that fire(火) assigned to Jijanggan is least.
