We don't know exactly when Soolsoohak began, which was used to solve the problems of man's fortunes and Goongtongsooyo. Nevertheless, the way of telling fortunes through looking at night sky stars has been used to this day from a very long time ago.
Sajoomyungrihak, an area of Soolsoo, began to settle based on the ideas of Myung and Woon which started to appear after Han Dynasty, a relatively stable unified dynasty, through Choonchoojeonguk Era at sixes and sevens.
Myungrihak is divided into the two parts, Gobup Sammyunghak and Sinbup Japyungmyungrihak. These Bups are different in the way of translation as well as in the main tools for Ganmyung. Gobup, for example, determined Yungan as Nok, Yunji as Myung, and Napeumohaeng in Yunjoo as Sin centering around Yunjoo of Sajoo and did Ganmyung mainly with Napeum and Sinsal, valuing Taewol too. On the other hand, Sinbup Japyungmyungrihak, which is used mainly today, is based on Yeonwolilsi and judges Ohaeng's Gangyak and Saengeukjehwa centering around Ilgan with looking at Saju.
Okjojeongjingyung was written on the basis of Gobup Sammyunghak, a theory prior to Sinbup Japyungmyungrihak. This is one of the oldest surviving Myungriseos and is contained at Sagojeonseo along with Iheojoongmyungseo, which was written after Lee Heo Joong(Dang Dynasty) added notes on Guigokjayumoon, and Nakrokjabuju on which notes were added by Seokdamyung, Wangjeonggwang, and Idong(Song Dynasty) after Nakrokja's Chan. The author of Okjojeongjingyung is reported to have been written by Gwakbak(Jin Dynasty) and commented by Jangon but its historical evidence has not been found.
And Okjojeongjingyung can be said to be in the middle of the transition from Gobup to Sinbup. We can look into the theoretical schemes of Gobup and compare and analyze the differnence from Sinbup used widely today.
Okjojeongjingyung's theoretical schemes show that it places Taewolilsi according to year and it is different in applying Napeum and Sinsal from modern Japyungmyungrihak. But it considered Myungguk's Joonghwa to be very important as Sinbup did. Through this, we can say the ways of translation of Gobup and Sinbup have the same frame based on Joonghwa although their tools are different.
We can know in what appearance early Myungrihak existed and as what theoretical scheme it was employed. Furthermore, I want to find the better ways to use it today as well through this. In fact, although Japyungmyungri is mainly used, the study of the theory of Hyungcheunghoehap based on Gobup or the way to use Cheonganron, Saengwangsajeol, Napeumohaeng is being conducted and they are even actually applied. And in a bid to keep up with trend, Saju Psychology is being lively studied in the similar context with western counselling psychology.
We can say that this phenominon is desirable and study of Gobup as well as of Sinbup should continue to be conducted steadily.
