家門의 傳統과 風水思想에 관한 小考 = A Study on the Tradition of Pedigree and Theory of Geomancy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Every living thing on the earth is at the mercy of its environment.
For a long time, Korean have believed in Peung-Su(風水) theory that if descendants bury their ancestor’s corpse at the propitious site for a grave, they will be blessed thanks to ancestor’s invisible energy. Until now, Korean unchangeably keep this custom and have the thought of ancestor worships or clan conceptions.
The purpose of this thesis is to study conceptions for the propitious site shown in many geography books and to compare various interpretations for the theory.
1. The conditions for the propitious site.
The mountain should be extended from the graceful mountaions to the grave. And mountains in four directions and streams should tenderly protect the grave. The most ominous shape of the grave is one where the stream run away wildly from the grave or mountain fall down unnaturally.
2. The theory of judgement for the good and bad luck according to directions.
Each of school has its different conception and standard of judgement. Therefore, the contrary theory often results from the same site at the same direction.
3. A view for the inspiration
Because the theory of judgement for the good and bad luck is different according to school, there is no lucky site in accord with all theories. Consequently, if a geomancer decide a site as lucky one in accord with his theory, we should admit his conclusion and take charge of this site valuably. Peung-Su theory is significant in that respect we can transfer family traditions and respectable virtues of ancestor's to the descendants and then encourage them to live well.
