Myung-Li theory is a study that tries to find out someone’s life reason logically by dividing eight characters of Chungan(ten celestial stems) and Jiji(earth symbols) into Yin-Yang and five elements through turning the hour, day, month, and year of the person’s birth into the sexagenary cycle. This Myung-Li theory is divided into old theory and new theory. The new theory called Japyeong theory is to discuss classes mainly based on Ilgan (birthday’s temporal segmentation)’. This Myung-Li theory has discussed people’s classes focused on Ilgan until now, which is referred to Japyeong Myung-Li theory. This study is interested in someone’s own destiny, namely personal happiness or misery, good or ill luck, and fortune or misfortune.
But, as time has developed into a modern society, according to diversities of social activities’ sphere, people came to be more interested in social lives, that is to say, status ? high and low in a society rather than personal fortune and misfortune. So, this study’s purpose is that Wolji analytical method which tries to know someone’ fate focused on Wolji(monthly temporal segmentation) representing social high and low should be developed.
Previous Japyeong Myung-Li theory lays stress on Yongshin(balance and harmony for the necessity of negative and positive and five elements) only necessary for Ilgan. But there were some problems of Yongshin which cannot completely not only take lead in life’s good or ill luck and success or failure, but also personal subjective judgment can be intervened. At this situation, Wolji analytical method of this study established clearly ways of adopting framework(discussing classes) and Sangshin(strong status of lucky effect for framework) by defining newly a concept of Sangshin along with placing emphasis on framework. Thus, Wolji analytical method can be the role of a new breakthrough recovering the problems of Japyeong Myung-Li theory and I expect that this can play a part in better development of Japyeong theory.
This study emphasized Wolji and Sangshin by searching for status of the Wolji and Sangshin with some basic theories related with the Wolji analytical method. Based on these, by setting up analytical methods of destiny and operation methods of framework focused on Wolji systematically, through applying these to some cases of present real people as well as some cases of classic four pillar structures, so validity of Wolji analytical method was confirmed.
In advance, if we see Wolji as Myung-Li theory’s status, first, Wolji is applied to adolescence period when youngsters build their own world independent from their parents, and second, Wolji is compared to Hyungje-goong(someone’s brotherhood constellation) where lives with Myungju(Ilgan, or a person who asks for his/her destiny) in the same generation. Third, Wolji is Jegang(a place where someone’s inborn fate is controlled) which is the most centered part in the fate and the most effective one, and it is the most important Unwon(something which controls people’s destinies) which makes the starting point of fortune in this lifetime. Forth, Wolji as Sawhoi-goong(society constellation) falls under the framework, social activities’ sphere where the Myungju lives in this lifetime and also Wolji is related to a job which the Myungju manages his/her life with, namely somewhat a major, and Wolji influences his/her temper. Fifth, by revealing that a birth year represents from birth to parents, a birth month and a birth day are present life, and a birth time means from children to the next lifetime respectively, Wolji analytical method of this study provided a foundation that can translate broadly into previous life and next life as well as present life.
And since the Wolji is very important place, it should not be damaged and the Wolji revealed its definition and topological meaning as equality with just the framework, and Sangshin is a guardian of framework, Yongshin of the framework at the same time, and the operator of the framework. Like this, as the very important Wolji should be guarded, when trying to know someone’s destiny, consider the Sangshin, the guardian of the Wolji as the most important thing. And next, as the Wolji, namely the framework must be considered as the second most important thing, I emphasized that the Sangshin and framework should be put stress on rather than the Ilgan. And through case studies on Myungjo(four pillar structure) comes in latest books, in the Wolji analytical method of knowing someone’s destiny, by checking the importance of the Wolji and the Sangshin, I revealed the validity of the methods of knowing someone’s destiny in the Wolji analytical method.
This study systematized theoretically and established the operation method of the framework in the Wolji analytical method. By setting up the operation methods per framework and adjusting them to real cases, I revealed the validity of the operation methods of framework. Also, based on this, Jonggyuk(Setting aside his/her true colors and following the general trend due to a bad situation) of the previous Japyeong Myung-Li theory was revealed to be interpreted according to the operation methods of framework focused on Wolji. About this, by making cases of Myungjo in the classic Myung-Li theory and checking them, I showed the validity of feasibility of the operation method of the framework focused on Wolji.
In the Japyeong Myung-Li theory, as the Ilgan did not have a root in the Jiji and were weak, it was interpreted as Jonggyuk, when the Ilgan was weak and Jonggyuk which had no intention of independence became characteristics, and that time it could be greatly rich and greatly noble. In fact, it is very difficult to understand these. So, I proposed that it is reasonable that Myungjo which is so weak in the Ilgan is to be interpreted by Wolji analytical method. By searching for meaning of the Jonggyuk and revealing that Jonggyuk is difficult to exist in this present liberal democracy society, I provided a basis that Gimyung-Jonggyuk(when Ilgan is weak and impossible to survive, the Ilgan is thrown away and depended on other power and subject to that power) could be interpreted newly. Through the cases of Myungjo suggested to be applied to Jonggyuk in the Japyeong Myung-Li theory, I suggested that it should be interpreted in the Wolji analytical method. Thus, this study brought up the importance of the Wolji analytical method through a study of Jonggyuk.
Through case studies of real people such as Rhee Syngman and Roh Moohyun who can be known easily for their ways of lives, by applying to and checking them with the analytical method and the operation methods of framework focused on Wolji, proposed the validity of those methods. Here, some parts that could not be interpreted in the previous Japyeong Myung-Li theory could be interpreted with the Wolji analytical method. Especially, for the late president Rhee, I proposed interpretation contents such as period situation, establishment of only South Korea’s separate government, cause of being the first president of Korea, foreign policy, political thought, leadership, religion policy, not long for his meritorious deed and name, and latter years’ loneliness. And for the late president Roh, ancestor’s virtue of birthplace, ancestor’s virtue of his family, misery, reformed politics of authorities, transfer policy of administrative agencies, going home, and suicide were disclosed to be able to be interpreted diversely and the importance of the analytical method and the operation methods of framework was emphasized.
If we look at meanings of this study, first, there is a big meaning that the analytical method and the operation methods of framework are systematized theoretically and established for the Wolji analytical method. Second, by applying and checking cases of the real people as well as the classic Myungjo with these established theories; it is another meaning that their usability was proved. Third, it is a big meaning that the operation methods of framework were interpreted in an aspect of a country view.
If we search for some academic prospects after seeing the results of this study, first, as our society has developed into the modern society, we came to be more interested in social status and high rather than personal happiness and unhappiness, good or ill luck, and fortune and misfortune. Hereby, it is predicted that the Wolji analytical method which deals with social status and high and low will develop more rather than the Japyeong Myung-Li theory which deals with personal happiness and unhappiness, good or ill luck, and fortune and misfortune. Second, since the Japyeong Myung-Li theory was different in obtaining the framework and Yongshin, according to someone who wants to know his/her destiny, there were a lot of possibilities of mistakes. But in case of the Wolji analytical method, as a selecting way of the framework and an electing way of Sangshin become only one respectively by an objective united way, there is a strong point of no errors and the prospect is so bright.
Someone’s fate is decided by innate and acquired conditions. The innate condition cannot be selected or changed, but because the acquired condition can be changed by some choices, totally different results can be brought up by the choices. For the best choice, we need a kind of means, wisdom. Whether we need the way of getting the wisdom and the wisdom itself or not depends on only our choices. As Myung-Li theory is also one of the means called the wisdom, it is a choice of someone’s own whether the Myung-Li theory is used or not. Life is a sequence of endless choices, and the result can be changed based on the choice. It is a real role of the Wolji analytical method that helps people to live the best their lives with their given talents by letting them know which choice is the best.
