Pohang Homigot(cape) Sangsaengui Hand

 1 Introduction to Pohang Homigot.

This is the place where the Korean Sunrise Festival, which started on January 1, 2000, is held every year.

Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, spent 12.4 billion won to create a space that contains the history of the start of the new millennium, the peaceful unification of the country, and the future orientation and symbolism of the new millennium.

Many tourists visit for various sunrise events such as the 2000 New Millennium Korean Sunrise Festival, the production of the largest soccer ball in the country in 2002, the 10,000-person rice cake soup making experience event in 2004, and the production of a giant Taegeukgi to wish for the success of the 2006 Germany World Cup.

On a site of 13,920 pyeong, there are the Hand of Mutual Growth, the torch stand, the Eyes of a Thousand Years, and the Yeonorang Seonyeo statue.

The Hand of Mutual Growth has the left hand on land and the right hand on the sea, and was created with the intention of all citizens helping each other as we welcome the new millennium.

In front of the left hand on land is a torch symbolizing the sun and coexistence.

The Millennium Eye is a sunlight collector that converts the infrared rays of sunlight into heat.

The embers in the Millennium Eye contain the last ember of the 20th century collected from the Byeonsan Peninsula, the embers of the Earth collected from Fiji in the South Pacific, the embers of the Zumen Sea collected from Dokdo, and the embers of the new millennium collected from Homigot, which are the embers of eternity.

The Yeonorang Seonyeo statue was erected to commemorate Yeongilman, the setting of the story.

It is said that the rock that Yeonorang rode rose from here.

There is a rape flower field at the entrance to the plaza, and the rape flowers bloom in full bloom every year around April to May.

In addition, there are many things to see around the plaza, such as Korea's first National Lighthouse Museum and a wind turbine that utilizes the strong sea breeze of Homigot.

The true value of the Book of Changes as a story of the world

1. Humanities

I dare say that the Book of Changes is ultimately a discipline that allows a small person to become a great person or a gentleman.

How much are we swayed by our surroundings in the real world? Comparing ourselves to others, trying to have more material things, or not being able to control our greed...

A small person can be said to be a narrow-minded person who only cares about himself, does not care about others, and only thinks about personal interests, while a great person can be said to be a person who, from a Mahayana perspective, strives for the common good and for everyone to move forward together in a better direction.

As seen in the Book of Changes, the ancient era in which Fuxi, the creator of the Book of Changes, lived was an agricultural society, and as seen in the various social aspects, we can see that it gradually progressed from human desire to have.

Therefore, for those of us who live in a modern materialistic society and want to pursue better material things, this Book of Changes is by no means a helpful book.

Of course, some important passages are helpful in pursuing current management strategies or life strategies. (Lee Geon-hu, Yong-jeung Ma Jang-gil, Lee In Dong-sim Gi-ridan-geum, etc.)

2. Classical Thought

Even after the Middle Ages, when we see injustice, such as the examples of the righteous army leaders during the Imjin War, Jo Sik-seon-saeng, and Toegye Seon-saeng, the attitude of not tolerating it and trying to correct it is the true meaning and attitude of people like us who learn the Book of Changes.

In the Book of Changes, there is no passage that says to have a lot of wealth or to rise to a high position. There is no such content in the words of Confucius, who wrote the Ten Wings.

When you want to have more material things or live a better life than others, this attitude of greatness will never help.

How can we interpret the fact that the largest software company in India, Group, uses a large portion of its profits to help others, and the more it does, the more profits it makes?

Because you can take more by sharing and distributing your abilities and knowledge than by holding on to what you have and trying to protect what you have.

3. Conclusion

Of course, many people say that this content should be enough to protect yourself. However, it is said in the Buddhist scriptures that a single candle from a widow is a greater offering than a million candles from a rich man.

How much study and training do we need to do to realize this meaning?

The more difficult thing is that it takes a lot of time and training to spread these ideas and knowledge.

If this can help our society and group develop further and help everyone lead a happy life, then as a student/student of the Book of Changes, we can feel great joy and it can also be the ultimate purpose of studying the Book of Changes.

Damyang Noodle Street

1 Introduction to Damyang Noodle Street.

When you go to Damyang, Jeollanam-do, you can see noodle restaurants lined up along Yeongsan River.

What started as one or two restaurants about 50 years ago has now become a famous food street in Damyang.

There are outdoor tables from the beginning to the end of the noodle street, so you can enjoy a generous amount of noodles at a low price while looking out over the lovely Yeongsan River.

The signature menu items are anchovy noodles made with anchovy broth and bibim noodles with a sweet and sour seasoning that whets your appetite.

Depending on the season, refreshing radish noodles are also served cold.

If you add a medicinal egg as a side dish, you can enjoy a more filling meal.

Depending on the restaurant, many places serve freshly baked green onion pancakes or pork meat pancakes.

Damyang Noodle Street is located near Juknokwon, which boasts green colors all year round, and Gwanbangjelim, which is great for enjoying the seasonal atmosphere, so it is good to visit them together.

Dorisa Temple, the Birthplace of Buddhism in Silla.

1 Introduction to Sungnimsa Temple.

Dorisa Temple was first established by Ado Hwasang, a Goguryeo monk, during the reign of King Nulji (417), the 19th king of Silla, to spread Buddhism in Silla, where there was no Buddhism, and is known as the birthplace of Buddhism and the first temple in Silla.

Dorisa Temple is located in Naengsan, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and although the exact date of its founding is unknown, it is said to be the first temple in Silla.

This temple is related to Ado Hwasang, who appears in the legend when Buddhism was first introduced to Silla.

It is said that while Adoga was traveling to find a place to practice Buddhism, he saw peach blossoms (Do) and plum blossoms (Ri) in full bloom even in the middle of winter, and he knew it was a good place. He built a temple there and named it Dorisa. Dorisa is a temple where temple stays are available, and many domestic and foreign tourists visit to experience traditional temple practice.

4 pillars (Saju) and occupation

In the humanities of the East, including Korea, the year, month, date, and time of birth are considered very important.

This is because it is believed that the energy of the universe enters the body and dominates the whole life from this point on.

Looking at this, it is called the 4 pillars, or Saju, and it is mostly divided into the components of the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water).

The five elements (Yongsin) that are most necessary in each individual Saju are Mok (Wood), which has a humanities aptitude such as office work, accounting, and civil service, Hwa (Fire) and Geum (Metal), which have a natural aptitude such as industry, To (Earth), which has agriculture, and Su (Water), which has a commercial aptitude.

1) People with a lot of wood (tree) in their four pillars need gold (metal), so they advance to departments such as mechanical engineering, metallurgy, textile engineering, industrial engineering, aerospace engineering, and materials engineering, with an aptitude for automobile or mechanical engineering.

They can get jobs as metal technicians, mechanical technicians, and researchers at research institutes in the engineering field. If they have a fortune that requires the energy of gold (metal), such as Guin, Dohwa, Hwagae, and Munchangseong, they have an aptitude for industrial art, computer graphic designers, and scientists.

When doing business, it is good to deal with automobile or machine parts, general stores, etc.

2) People with a lot of fire (fire) in their four pillars need water (water), so they have an aptitude for commerce and management, so they advance to departments such as economics, business administration, accounting, trade, and hotel management.

They can get jobs as certified public accountants, business consultants, company employees, bank employees, and professional managers.

When doing business, it is good to work in industries related to water, such as restaurants, coffee shops, and cosmetics.

3) People with a lot of soil (earth) in their four pillars need wood (tree), so they are suited for architecture and civil engineering, and can be employed as architectural designers, field inspectors, etc. Also, if a person with wood (tree) needs strong and strong in their four pillars, they can advance to political science, law, or public administration, and if Shik-sin and Sang-gwan are the five elements (dragon gods) they need, they can advance to the department of literature or journalism and broadcasting, and become writers, translation experts, simultaneous interpreters, reporters, high school teachers, university professors, or historians. Also, if Pyeon-in and In-su are the dragon gods (important and necessary elements) they need, they are suited for civil service or office work.

When a person with wood (tree) as their dragon god does business, it is good to go to industries related to clothing, stationery, or bookstores.

4) People with a lot of gold (metal) in their four pillars need fire (fire), so they are suited for electricity and can advance to departments such as computer science, information processing, computer statistics, electronics, information engineering, and information management, and can get jobs as computer designers, programmers, system engineers, system analysts, and computer graphic designers.

When people with fire (fire) as their dragon god want to do business, it is good to handle electrical and electronic products or industries related to fire.

5) People with a lot of water (water) in their four pillars need earth (soil), so they are suited for agriculture and industries such as farms, orchards, livestock farming, landscaping, forestry, flowers (floriculture), and real estate brokerage are good.

A New Look at Oriental Humanities

1 How should modern people approach the humanities?

I have been deeply troubled by the question of how it should approach us living in the 21st century.

We can conclude that Eastern thought is not as mysterious as most people think, but rather a crystallization of knowledge like the words of Confucius.

A person who properly understands the humanities can know the future well without resorting to fortune telling or other shamanistic methods, and through this, can guide others and cultivate himself to maintain the attitude of a wise man.

How can we apply this thought, which contains the image of the times 3,000 years ago, to today? This is truly a huge question.

It is not about saying that we should live a good life as religion says, but rather about showing us what it means to live like a human being.

2 Eastern thought that teaches us how to escape from the trap

However, it does not necessarily teach us to live in poverty. In the Joseon Dynasty, the upright people diligently cultivated themselves, helped others, and pursued a life of living together with the same era. I can conclude that this spirit (living in harmony with those around them and helping each other) is the spirit that the humanities desire.

It is not the thought of Zhuangzi or Laozi to abandon oneself too much and turn one's back on the world, becoming a reclusive loner or not being able to come out into the world.

In this complex and difficult human history, it is impossible to live in a state of inaction like Laozi's thought and turn one's back on the world like Baek's homework, and it teaches us how to live according to each situation in our lives today.

If someone who practices Oriental medicine wants to gain something through the humanities, they will have to study a lot (such as constitution...) and of course, the foundation for this will be studying yin and yang, thought, the five elements, the five energies, and six energies.

3. Corporate management and the humanities

The combination of management and oriental studies that I ultimately attempt is the same, so corporate management is also the same.

To properly understand management, you must first know military books such as Sun Tzu's The Art of War or Wu Zi's The Art of War, and also study historical books such as Tonggam and Shiji, as well as Hwang Seok-gong's The Art of War.

Humanities are not fun, and without basic knowledge, you will not know what the Chinese characters mean or what the content is even if you read them.

You can interpret the meaning of the Book of Poetry or the Book of Documents just by reading the part of the poem, but they use many concise words along with metaphors and allusions, and they quote many Chinese characters with meanings that are different from the meanings of the Chinese characters that we know in modern times, so you cannot read them without a certain level of Chinese character skills.

Anyone can start, and you can set a day to cleanse your body and mind and start studying, but this is not a martial art that uses your body, but rather a study where you hold a topic at your desk, so after a while, your whole body will start to tremble.

Managing Diabetes in Winter

 1. Winter Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that literally causes sugar to escape through urine (urine, urine).

It is said that the prevalence rate has been increasing even among young people in their 20s and 30s due to changes in the high-quality and oily diet and lack of exercise.

Hyperglycemia requires continuous management due to its effects on organs in the body such as blood vessels, brain, eyes, and kidneys, but hypoglycemia is often more dangerous for people taking diabetes medication because it suddenly causes a lack of sugar in the blood. Therefore, it is recommended to carry candy or biscuits with you for emergencies.

Type 1 diabetes is not common, and most people have type 2 diabetes, so there is a risk of hypoglycemia in the summer due to excessive sweating, while in winter, the cold can cause various diseases due to increased blood pressure caused by blood vessel constriction, so more caution is required.

2. Principle of Diabetes Management

The only way to prevent, treat, or manage diabetes is to expel more nutrients than you take in. In other words, output > input.

The management of input, that is, what comes into the body, is ultimately determined by the food you eat, so eat a balanced diet. If you do not consume sugar from white rice, white bread, etc., it is thought that there will be no major problems.

There are various ways to expel output, such as urine, feces, sweat, and energy consumption. Since urine and feces are ultimately determined by input, energy consumption through sweat and exercise is possible.

Therefore, output should be greater than input, meaning that you should expel more than you take in, which is the same as dieting.

3. Method of Diabetes Management in Winter

If the blood sugar level is 6.0 or lower in a 2-hour post-meal blood sugar test, it is considered normal, up to 6.5 is considered risk group, and above that is considered diabetes and requires management.

- Diet management: The endocrinology department of the hospital recommends consuming a balanced diet of the five major nutrients, but it is not easy for busy modern people to do so. It is okay to buy firm tofu for frying and store it in the refrigerator and eat it whenever you have time.

- Walking exercise: It is not easy to go outside and exercise in the winter because it often snows and the ground freezes. You can walk the recommended 10,000 steps without overdoing it, depending on your lifestyle. 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day is also good.

- Stress management: It is easy to feel that stress is the root of all diseases, and moderate stress is actually beneficial to your health. It is also necessary to make a small task to do in the morning, such as walking, and to spur yourself on to achieve it in the afternoon.

What is the impact of fine dust on health?

Every spring, yellow dust from China blows in, making the air murky, and these days, warnings are even issued in the winter.

In particular, since the fine dust emergency reduction measures were issued early this year, interest in air quality has been growing, with many people purchasing air purifiers.

Fine dust causes enormous damage to health and the environment, and we will learn about its causes, effects, reduction measures, and ways to protect the environment and health.

1. Effects

1). Smog is really famous in countries such as India and Bangladesh due to air pollution caused by vehicle exhaust fumes, and in the UK, along with London fog.

2). In Korea, we are also making efforts such as mandatory installation of urea water and subsidies for early scrapping of old vehicles along with reduction devices for diesel vehicles.

3). It is thought that active climate change in Europe will not have a significant impact, but in the future, it will affect not only human health, but also the rise in global temperatures if it worsens.

2. Fine dust

1). Fine dust is divided into PM10 (diameter 10μm or less) and PM2.5 (ultrafine dust with a diameter of 2.5μm or less) which are small particles floating in the air. PM2.5 is very small in size, so it requires more attention.

2). The Korea Meteorological Administration provides concentration levels of good, normal, bad, and very bad according to the concentration of fine dust.

3). Related sites

- Our neighborhood air quality information: Air Information

- Air Korea: Air Korea

- Fine Fine: Fine Fine

https://air.go.kr/main.do

4). There are human and natural causes, and artificial causes (SOX NOX pollutants emitted from factories, cars, etc. and dust generated by increased heating use) can be reduced with effort, but natural causes such as yellow dust from China and Mongolia are difficult to prevent.

3. Environmental and Climate Impacts

​1). Environmental Impacts on the Environment (Ministry of Environment National Fine Dust Information Center: https://www.air.go.kr/main.do)

www.air.go.kr

- Climate Change: Increases air pollution and worsens the greenhouse effect

- Ecosystem Destruction: Interferes with photosynthesis of plants, pollutes water and soil

2). Serious Health Effects

- Respiratory Disease: Causes inflammation in the lungs and bronchial tubes

- Cardiovascular Disease: Adversely affects blood vessel health

- Skin Trouble: Damage to the skin when exposed for a long time

4. Prevention Methods

1). Wearing a mask: Use KF80, KF94 grade

2). Care after going out: Wash your hands and face thoroughly, and wash inside your nose

3). Indoor air quality management: Use an air purifier, and ventilate during times when fine dust concentration is low

4). Environmental protection practices: Use public transportation, save energy

Odojae (mountain ridge) where you can attain enlightenment

1 Introduction to Odojae (mountain ridge).

Jirisan(Mountain) Odojae is said to have been named Odojae because the famous monk Inojosa attained enlightenment while climbing up and down this pass.

This means a large pass to purify one's mind.

Odojae is the shortest course from Hamyang to Jirisan, and it opened in 2004. 

In addition to its function as a road for vehicle traffic, the snake-like winding road over the pass has become a new attraction and is gaining attention as a tourist attraction. 

The wide Jirisan Observatory Park was created in a location where you can see the Jirisan main ridge (Nogodan~Cheonwangbong) at a glance, just below the summit of Odojae.

Jirisan is the highest mountain on the Korean peninsula, and when you look at Jirisan, which was designated as the first national park, you can forget all the worries of the world and feel a sense of exhilaration.

The road from Hamyang, Gyeongnam to Jirisan is said to be the most beautiful road in the country.

First, there is Ji-an-jae, which has a dizzying cliff like a picture, on this road, and if you go up a little further, Odojae, which allows you to cross between Jirisan and Hamyang, is connected.

The Jirisan Odojae Healing Camping Site is located here.
