『주역』과 命理學의 상관성에 관한 연구 − 시중론(時中論) 중심으로 −

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the co-relativeness between 『I-Ching』 and Myonrihak from the point of academic, not the point of the Four Pillars, Myung-Li. Myung-Li('命理') researchers tend to study "I-Ching(周易)" focusing on the divination without critical opinions. So It is necessary to study the differences of 『I-Ching』 from Myonrihak based on the 'Sijoong(時中) with critical stance. ‘SI-Joong(時中)’, the Timeliness ideas is the main suject in the 『I-Ching』 and the Myung-Li-Hak, 'Si-Joong (時中), the timeliness, the core idea in the 『I-Ching』, emerge in the process of overcoming the fear about the ever-changing natural phenomena and finding the predictable rules. On the same as above, Myung-Li-Hak is also developed with the Timeliness identifying the pattern of individuals’ lives and proactively dealing with those changes. Si-Joong(時中)'-Timeliness of 『I-Ching』 means to act and respond at the right time. In other words, Si-joong is to use properly his strong releasing (發散力) and soft receptive capacity in each situation(剛柔適中). People who easily make a mistake exceeding the middle – 'Joong(中)' – at all times must be conscious of them going to the fault and be good at self-awakening in a proper time (善報過). An excellent thing of that guide people to be constantly looking at and taking care of themselves and to be balanced with their surroundings. The biggest different idea is that Si-joong of 『I-Ching』 guides us to know the great significance of the right time and to have the mind of using the crisis. The teaching of I-ching is also not to lock up in a desperate crisis, but rather try harder in the crisis (治必因亂) and find the wisdom. These basic principles of Sijoong of I-Ching is to act effectively in the process of their own 'awareness' and 'reflection'. The 『I-Ching』 presents the standard about what you use to clean up your mind every day. There are the Languages of Hexagrams and Lines in the 『I-Ching』 that advise on human’s over desire, and their advices provide the guideline of eternal life. The 『I-Ching』 tells us to turn back to inside the taken mind from the area of destiny (命) that cannot be solved by human’s efforts. The main difference is that Myung-Li-Hak is a consequential judgment material of the divination (Jum; 占). And there's no need of human's efforts, and especially process of their own 'awareness' and 'reflection'. The Myung-Li-Hak has difficult elements to be recognized as an objective and systematic study. The main reason is that there is no objective criterion to determine whether which is right among experts’ opinions about the other 'balanced five elements when it is difficult to identify. Because of the defect that there is no standard point, it became more complicated by the subjective opinions of the Myung-Li-Hak researchers. In addition, a variety of theories are claimed. The Myung-Li-Hak has a limitation that a human’s destiny cannot be systematically and objectively predictable by using the same Five Elements of the scheme; it can be reported differently by interpreters’ perspectives.
