People in the modern society live in the global capitalism era. The world works following the logic behind the capital. It is not exaggeration that money together with highly developed science technology rules human spirit. The past traditional society, which was constructed on the basis of agriculture, developed a calender with interest in astronomical phenomena. The Five Phases opened to the universe influences all elements of the nature and changes in the life of human beings (tiny existence in the universe) can be expected following the science of mingl?(命理)including the Five Phases, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
In the past Confucian society, the social position of women was low and the accumulation of wealth was not so much highly valuable as seeking honor as a public officer. However, as the economy develops, social participation of women increases and the opportunity of education is equal to both men and women. In addition, the number of social areas that require women's capabilities rather than men is increasing. Moreover, as the capitalism society advances, power of wealth is growing, which is even enough for the size of capital to make the standards of value. Quality of local education varies according to the level of economy and sometimes, economic power creates new social class. Considering this circumstance, it is certain that wealth is inevitable elements of the modern society.
With this reason, this study has interested in the caix?ng theory of the Mingl? Science and focuses on the topic of " Theory of caix?ng in The Modern Science of " with expectation that perspective of the past caix?ng theory may differ from that of the modern caix?ng theory.
This study analyzes classic books containing explanation of caix?ng theory of the Mingl? Science including ??h?iz?ziping?? (??淵海子平??), ??shiti?nsu?ch?nw?i??(??適天髓闡微??), ??s?nmingt?nghui??(??三命通會??) and ??z?pingzh?nquanpingzhu??(??子平眞詮評註??). Caix?ng is one of the five phases that rig?n(日干) wins (Sun Stem: 日干). Controling caix?ng requires strength of rizhu(日柱). If rizhu is weak, it should be supplemented by yinx?ng(印星). If caix?ng is thriving, it is good for gu?nx?ng(官星) and it is afraid of robbing. Caix?ng means wealth and wifves in a way of liuq?n and the issue that caix?ng can be a father is controversy in the literature. From the author's point of view, it is more resonable to decide caix?ng by interpreting each g?ng(宮)and x?ng(星) in the five phases and considering its characteristics with regard to overall society and objects, rather than simply regarding as one of the five phases that rig?n wins.
Considering the modern application of this classical theory, this study observes how the concept of caix?ng is reflected with regard to job, wealth and wife and concubine. Job is classified in connection with the major, reflecting characteristics of the mind and the body. For wealth, this study refers to papers of empirical studies on sizhu(四柱)of self-employeed people. For wives, it refers to case studies on sizhu of divorced people. As caix?ng as a liuq?n(六親) represents the star of wealth and wife and concubine. the direction of caix?ng and flow of big fortune in sizhu can explain these elements.
On the assumption that complex interpretation of caix?ng is required in the modern science of mingl? according to investigating the modern application of the classical theory of caix?ng this study reviews ??Sajucheopgyeong?? (??四柱捷徑??), ??Myeongriyogang?? (??命理要綱??) and ??mingxuex?nyi?? (??命學新義??). The purpose is to revisit caix?ng theory by comparing modern mingl? books. The study reveals that even modern mingl? books follow the basic framework of classic literature. ??Mingxuex?nyi?? even more emphasizes the importance of caix?ng and develops new logics for yinx?ng and caix?ng as liuq?n, which regard yinx?ng and caix?ng as liuq?n that gives birth and grows rig?n and as factors that decide good or bad in the fortune of early years of a person.
According to the review of the modern application, it is concluded that interaction between combined elements including the five phases, liuq?n, dayun(大運), suiyun(세운) and g?ng decides fortune and unfortune of sizhu, rather than simple sh?ngk?izhihe(生剋制和)of the five phases. In the modern society, it is said that the role of caix?ng is the most important in analyzing sizhu. As the social environment places value on the roles of capital, it is very important to analyze healthiness and direction of caix?ng, which also provide reliability to sizhuk?nming(四柱看命). The study that identifies the system of interpretation of caix?ng in the modern science of mingl? and provides power to its value makes big contribution. As characteristics and properties of caix?ng lead to wide interpretation of each social phenomenon and objects and answers can be obtained by analyzing caix?ng in the context of results and achievements that individual persons want, it is the key element of sizhuk?nming in the capitalism society. Modern mingl? researchers and sizhu experts should pay attention to such roles of caix?ng and have wisdom to interprets sizhu from various perspectives. To do this, Researchers should try to make science of mingl? one of academic disciplines by having attitude to remove boundary between disciplines with interest in various sectors of the society. In addition, this study expects that the results achieved by studies on a caix?ng theory can deliver a message of hope in the context of counselling and help to find best interest of an individual person and, as a result, the studies on a caix?ng theory will be reborn as parts of the recognized academic system.
