Modern feng shui spreads to various fields such as architecture, civil engineering, urban design, real estate, landscaping, environment, interior decoration, etc., and takes a practical approach away from the traditional mausoleum feng shui related to the cemetery.However, systematic study of the basic unit of feng shui, the yin house, is still essential. During the Joseon Dynasty, the Confucian idea of filial piety and the concept of ‘talsin-gong-gae-cheonmyeong’ were combined, and the yin house feng shui centered on the graveyard became very popular. This led to the tombs called the eight great auspicious sites being recalled as the basis for the prosperity of descendants.
However, due to our obsession with these inductive results, the logical basis for the core elements of Feng Shui of a house, 龍·穴·砂·水 is insufficient.In addition, the uncritical acceptance of the existing eight geomantic sites hinders academic discussions on alternative views, creating a vicious cycle that leads to a decline in the quality of feng shui research. This study aims to reanalyze the basic principles of geomancy 龍·穴·砂·水 from a topographical perspective, focusing on the eight most famous sites of the Joseon Dynasty, and to contribute to the establishment of correct geomancy values by suggesting new alternative grave sites based on consistent academic standards.
