Today is a very important day in the Republic of Korea.

Policy is one of the most important things in a country.

It is the day that President Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment is announced.

At first, we start off with enthusiasm, but after a while, we lose our original intentions and wander in the fog without knowing where to go, and we end up going down the wrong path or retreating in the opposite direction.

In many ways, the plan we wanted is not the right direction for policy.

That much money, effort, and more importantly, time cannot be compared to employment or welfare.

We should know that each living creature lives in its own unique territory, and if we artificially change or destroy it, a huge disaster awaits us.

This is not a problem that can be solved with any development logic.

If we think about the limits of growth in the Club of Rome report or Malthus' law of diminishing returns, it will become clearer.

Among Adams' utilitarian contents, the happiness of many people cannot satisfy everyone with absolute standards, and the standard of happiness is also subjective, so it is important to reduce the gap and eliminate relative poverty and deprivation.

When it is time to step down, you should step down well.

Money is a time to step down, but it also means hiding. (*The opposite is also possible.) Power is endless, and

Once you taste it, there is no more stalemate in the world, and if you gamble, you lose your wrist and do it with your toes.

In Eastern humanities, the highest position is considered the most dangerous.

Just as when you enter, you should step down well when you step down.

This means that when you are in a high position and finish, you do not look back and quietly go down to the countryside and highly value its meaning.

However, our former president seems to have no intention of doing that and seems to want to have a little influence.

Gyeongbuk Gumi Cheonsangseong

Cheonsang means saving a thousand people.

I stopped by Cheonsangseong after visiting a company in Gumi 4th Industrial Complex for the first time in a long time and had some time to spare.

Cheonsang means that the sky was born or that it came down from the sky, but it also means that it has enough energy to feed a thousand people who fled the war.

In terms of feng shui, Cheonsangseong, like Umyeonsan in Seocho-gu, Seoul, has a flat square peak that reminds you of a tile-roofed house.

Therefore, unlike other mountains with the shape of the five elements, it is said to represent wealth and honor.

To explain in more detail,

Mokhyung Mountain is shaped like a triangle and usually takes the shape of Munpilbong Peak. Bukaksan behind Cheong Wa Dae is a typical Mokhyung Mountain.

The area surrounding this Cheonseong Mountain is the hometown of the Indong Jang clan, and well-known people include Wiam Jang Ji-yeon, Unseok Jang Myeon, Jang Taek-sang, and Dr. Jang Gi-yeong.

Cheonseong Mountain Fortress, along with the surrounding Geumosan Mountain Fortress and Gasan Mountain Fortress, is a major mountain fortress, and although it is not included in the 10 Seungji, it is said to be a strategic location.

Feng Shui Journey: Yunggeonneung, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do

I was passing through Hwaseong-si because something came up, and I suddenly wanted to see Gonsinji, so I stopped by Yunggeonneung.

Sometimes, when I travel around the country for work-related evaluations or consulting, I stop by places that come to mind and look around, which seems to be a long-standing hobby and a source of vitality in my life.

Yunggeonneung is a somewhat special royal tomb.

Yungneung is where King Jangjo (1735-1762), the 22nd king of Joseon, and his wife, Queen Heon-gyeong (1735-1815) Hong (Hyegyeonggung Hong: author of Hanjungnok), are buried, and Geonneung is where King Jeongjo (1776-1800) and Queen Hyoeui (1753-1821) Kim are buried.

Yungneung is said to have created an artificial pond called Gonsinji according to feng shui, and I was curious to see what kind of incense method they used.

It was possible to approach the Jeongjagak under the tomb, but the area around the tomb was blocked by iron fences, making it difficult to know the exact direction. Originally, it was basic to place a plaque on the tomb or the soul stone and check the direction by making a gesture.

Judging from the direction examined in the Jeongjagak below and the booklet provided by the management office, the direction of Gonsinji is Jeongmipa. I saw the tomb as the direction of Jase.

However, Jeongjagak points to Jeongmihyang and does not seem to be in a straight line with the tomb. It seems that other royal tombs are also slightly off to the left and right.

If you go back to the 88 directions, the country becomes Mokguk and Pa is covered, so it is not clearly visible, but if it is the direction of Jaseokjeong, not the direction of Jajwa Ohyang, then Gonsin should have Pa in Jeongmyohyang, so it seems that Gonsinji was used. In this case, Pa becomes the direction of Jwasun.

If you look at it in reverse, if it can only be used as an account orientation, then in the 88-hyang method, if you use water (nails) on the hand-scented incense, it becomes Jeongyanghyang, if you use it on the imjahyang, it becomes Soehyangtaeryu, and if you use it on the gonshinhyang, it becomes Jeongmyohyang.

I am on my own, so I am wary of becoming self-righteous, and I regret not going up to the ridge and directly checking it with a patch, and since it is written from the perspective of a scholar, I would like to ask Kang Ho Seok-hyeon for criticism.

The effects of radiation on food and life

The radioactive material generated from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan in 2011 has already been over a decade, and there was a lot of talk recently about it being released into the ocean.

In addition, there are various damages caused by radioactive materials in our lives, so let's find out how to avoid them.

Radiation is a substance first discovered by Becquerel, and Marie Curie's radium is well known. In daily life, it helps people with diagnosis through X-rays, but it also affects food and life.

The Three Mile Island accident in the United States, the Chernobyl accident in the former Soviet Union, and the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in East Japan remain nightmares for us, and although they are gradually being forgotten, we cannot be at ease.

1. Radioactivity as food

- Groundwater and spring water that flow out from limestone or granite areas may contain radioactive materials such as radon and uranium due to the nature of the rock.

- Due to the contaminated water discharged from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, fish and other marine products caught in the nearby sea may contain large amounts of cesium, etc.

- Seaweed such as kelp and wakame contains iodine, etc., which can be harmful to thyroid patients, etc.

2. Radiation in daily life

- When taking X-ray X-ray images at hospitals such as orthopedic surgery, you may be exposed to radiation if you take them frequently.

- Flight attendants passing through the North Pole may be affected if they pass through radiation radiation areas multiple times.

- As in 2018, mattresses, which are raw materials for beds, were recalled because they were found to contain radioactive materials, they can also be found in bedding, tableware, and clothing made of natural materials.

3. How to avoid in daily life

There is radiation in spaceships flying from space, and it is impossible to completely avoid it in daily life.

- Use of certified household goods: You must check the test results of an authorized certification agency such as the Construction and Living Environment Testing Research Institute.

- Radiation testing devices (Geiger counters) developed for home use are also sold.

- Wearing protective clothing for X-ray technicians (clothes containing bismuth: Bi)

- Checking the certificate of performance for imported foods

- Purchase and use of eco-friendly agricultural products (checking whether there are radioactive material test items and whether they are within the standard when certified)

Bedroom Feng Shui

The bedroom is where we replenish the most fundamental energy through sleep in our lives, and it is a space of rest where we relieve the fatigue of the day and receive new energy.

People spend 1/3 of their lives sleeping~ The bed where we sleep well should always be arranged so that lively and comfortable energy can circulate, creating a comfortable space.

Some people say that they feel like they are pressed by scissors while sleeping, or that they do not feel tired no matter how long they sleep and their bodies become weaker...

This is often the case when they sleep incorrectly.

Do you receive good energy while sleeping or bad energy?

Your luck can change depending on this, so the direction of the room you sleep in or the direction you place your head when you sleep can be considered the most important part of Yangtaek Feng Shui interior design.

1. TV:

Disconnection from conversation, harmful electromagnetic waves (it breaks the body's balance, so it makes you tired)

2. Sharp objects:

knives, forks, cacti, etc.

(It's like a needle, so it emits bad energy, so good energy is scattered)

3. Family photos, portraits, abstract paintings, celebrity photos:

Hang them in the living room. Only keep pictures of the couple

(It can cause a rift in the love between the couple by lowering the good energy between the couple)

4. Sunset landscapes, rugged mountains, cold paintings, dark-colored paintings or pictures:

(It weakens the heat of love and lowers the energy)

5. Dried flowers, stones:

(It strongly emits negative energy, so it cools the energy of the bedroom and emits bad energy)

6. Full-length mirror:

When looking from the living room or outside the window, the inside should not be visible, cover part of it

(It reflects good energy and it is not good to see the sleeping figure reflected in the mirror)

7. Broken clock, missing props:

Clocks that do not keep the time or have stopped, props that are left alone

(It can break the peaceful energy flow of the bedroom)

8. Stacked items:

On top of the dresser, under the bed, on top of the wardrobe, on the dresser, etc.

(Items that fill up the remaining space block the circulation of energy flowing in the bedroom. You can sleep comfortably only when the energy circulation is good.)

9. Used furniture :

Bad energy can follow you

(Used furniture inherited from parents? It is okay to do major repairs such as painting or completely repairing it.)

10. It is not good to have both bedding and curtains that are flashy.

(If the blanket is flashy, simple curtains create peaceful harmony.)

11. Windows and lighting

In terms of Feng Shui, it is good for the bedroom window to not be too big, and the lighting to be slightly dark and soft to accumulate wealth.

12. Bedhead

It is good for the bedhead to be simple or slightly round. When you sleep, the shape of the bedhead above your head is too crooked and bent, which can make your sleep uncomfortable and mess up your life.

If you paint the wallpaper in a color that is good for you while you sleep, you will have a refreshing morning because you will have the effect of stimulating your energy subconsciously while you sleep.

The best refreshing beer

Beer is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in Korea along with soju and makgeolli. The raw material barley (hops) has a cold element, so it is considered to be a northerly direction in the five elements and a summer season, making it a refreshing drink.

Alcohol is something that goes into people's mouths, so it can be considered a type of food, and is affected by the Food Sanitation Act and the Food Code. However, alcohol is unique in that it is affected by the Liquor Tax Act in terms of taxes, manufacturing, and sales. Similarly, salt is subject to the Salt Industry Act, and bottled water is subject to separate laws such as the Drinking Water Management Act.

Small-scale factories or home-brewed beers that they produce uniquely have become popular since the Liquor Tax Act was changed (ad valorem tax), but they have not been well-received so far. I think it is because they lack the ability to create a distinctive beer taste.

Freshly brewed beer foams even without adding carbon dioxide. This is because of yeast. When yeast breaks down the starch in barley, ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced. If the container is sealed well, the carbon dioxide dissolves in the alcohol and forms carbonic acid. Of course, the development of sealing and refrigeration technology is historically very recent, so the history of beer becoming a carbonated beverage is not that long.

In Germany, it is said that people began to drink it after processing it like beer because it is difficult to drink it as it is because the water that people can drink is extracted from limestone.

Depending on where it is fermented during manufacturing, beer is classified into top and bottom fermentation. Generally, lager series uses bottom fermentation method and ale series uses top fermentation method.

The manufacturing process of lager beer, which is a bottom fermentation product, can be largely divided into 7 stages, and yeast is said to be added in the 6th fermentation stage.

1. Malt production: Grains (barley, wheat, etc.) are germinated to make malt, and during the germination process, enzymes are produced to break down starch into sugar.

2. Saccharification: This malt is dissolved in hot water and saccharified, and malt sugar is created in this process.

3. Filtration: The saccharified liquid is filtered to remove malt and impurities.

4. Boiling: The wort is boiled to sterilize and hops are added to create a bitter taste and aroma.

5. Cooling: The boiled wort is rapidly cooled to a temperature where yeast can be active.

6. Fermentation: The cooled wort is fermented with fermentation yeast, which breaks down the sugar and creates alcohol and carbon dioxide.

7. Maturation: The fermented beer is matured for 4 to 6 weeks to create a harmonious taste and aroma.

In the lager beer manufacturing process, yeast addition is important, and it is said that the taste and aroma of the beer greatly differ depending on the type of yeast, amount added, point of addition, fermentation temperature, and period.

The refreshing taste of beer is like a pearl necklace around a pig's neck, but the foam subsides after a while, so it is like injecting carbon dioxide into draft beer to be wary of truth rather than pretense.

Scooping up well water with a gourd

The Northern Hemisphere where I live is now past winter and the spring equinox.

Today is a windy and quite cold day.

They say that when the wind blows on the outside temperature, the perceived temperature drops and you feel colder.

When the wind blows and brings cold, if you think about it in terms of Eastern humanities, it reminds me of a well that pumps up groundwater and uses it as drinking water.

As a well, it must have a wooden bucket with a long rope that touches the bottom of the water to pump up the well water.

In some cases, the rope on the bucket is too short to reach the water and you cannot pump up the water.

Nowadays, there are no cases of pumping up groundwater using a pump like in the old days when there were no water supply facilities, and there are even fewer cases of pumping up well water by lowering the bucket.

When you are in trouble, seeing the light outside the tunnel means you have come to the end of the tunnel, and when you ask how far you are from the summit while climbing a mountain, saying “It’s right there” encourages you, meaning that you should not give up because you can see the results right away.

An old proverb says, “A town can be moved, but a well cannot be moved. It does not decrease or increase. You drink the water from the well as you go. If you reach the point where it is almost useless, it is also like not putting a bucket in the well. If you break this bucket, it will be bad.”

Water is the life-giving water necessary for human life, so it must be managed well. On the other hand, if you look at the Seolgwaejeon, it means danger, so if you manage it well and overcome it, you will be able to achieve your desired goal.

The current international political and economic reality may seem bleak and daunting, but if you put in a little more effort and wait, you can release the clear and cool water from the well into the bucket.

At this point, the only problem is that it takes time for the bucket to come down and scoop out the water.

Yeosu Hyangil-am (Temple) where the mind and body become calm

1 Introduction to Sungnimsa Temple.

The sunrise over the southern sea horizon is spectacular, so it is called Hyangil-am, and the surrounding rocks are shaped like a turtle's back, so it is also called Yeongu-am.

Many people come to Hyangil-am every year to see the sunrise to welcome the new year.

Many people from all over the country, including Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, come to send their hopes and send them up to the sky with the rising sun.

The road to Hyangil-am across Dolsandaegyo Bridge, which boasts a more beautiful night view, is beautiful.

Hyangil-am, one of the four major Guanyin prayer halls in Korea, is located at the end of Dolsando Island.

It is a hermitage founded by Wonhyo Daesa during the reign of Queen Seondeok during the Silla Dynasty under the name of Wontongam.

The sunrise rising from the horizon of the South Sea is so beautiful that in the 41st year of King Sukjong’s reign (1715) during the Joseon Dynasty, Inmok Daesa named it Hyangilam, which has remained until today.

After passing the parking lot with a direct view of the sea, you climb the stone steps that are almost 40 degrees incline, and then climb again, and you will come across tree leaves that cover the sky in green.

The freshness that sparkles in the sunlight adds to the mystery of Hyangilam.

When your legs start to hurt a little, the stone gate (stone gate) leading to Hyangilam blocks your way.

You can see that it is a stone gate that you can only pass by by lowering your body and bowing your head toward the sky.

The path to Buddha. The path to greet the sunrise with a new mind may be a story about learning humility.

After passing through the first stone gate like a gate of liberation, where sunlight as thin as a handkerchief seeps in, you climb the stone steps again, and you are met with Geumosan Mountain behind you and the blue sea and sky of Dolsan Mountain in front. This is a bonus of traveling that can only be obtained here.

What is the relationship between the constitution and the five elements?

Summer should be hot like summer, and winter should be cold like winter, but because we pursue comfort too much, we end up wearing long-sleeved clothes in summer and turning on the air conditioner in winter, which goes against the environment, and naturally causes problems for our bodies.

😅☝

When it's hot, people with large bodies tend to take in more external heat than those with large surface areas, which makes them less susceptible to the heat.

- If we match the four constitutions and the five elements, I think the right side is the Taeyangin - Fire, Taeeumin - Water, Soyangin - Metal, and Soeumin - Wood. (In the 72nd chapter of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the Tongcheon chapter, the human body types were added to the above 4 types, yin-yang harmony and peace, but today's Sasang theory is that Comrade Lee Je-ma divides the 4 types, excluding yin-yang harmony and peace.)

- Also, if you exclude the characteristic earth from the 5 elements of the East and the Western 4 constitutions distinguished by Hippocrates, they are identical. (Blood type; Sanguine-fire, Choleric-wood, Black bile; Melancholic-water, Phlegmatic-metal)

- People studying blood types can also see it as follows.

Type A-wood, Type B-water Type O-fire, Type AB-water

- In the ten gods of fortune-telling, if you exclude the characteristic earth from the ten gods and exclude the cowardice that corresponds to me, it is as follows. Food - Wood, Jaeseong - Metal, Gwanseong - Fire, Inseong - Water

The method of assigning constitution to the five elements is

For example, Taeyangin is big, has a loud voice, and is full of heat. Therefore, it is considered fire.

In Feng Shui, fire is sharp and triangular energy, so when viewed as an upward energy, there is no big problem.

Of course, Taeyangin is small in the lungs and small in the liver, so it can be considered as gold (because the liver is small, it becomes gold-restricted wood, and the lungs overcome the liver), but this is how I see it.

The other five elements are okay, but it is a little difficult to see Soyangin as wood or gold.

This will require a lot of experience and verification.

Soyangin - Gold rising energy Bi-daesinso---1 6

So-eumin - Wood converging energy Sin-daesinso---3 8

Taeyangin - Fire radiating energy Lung-daesinso---2 7

Tae-eumin - Water descending energy Gan-daesinso---4 9

This should also be presented with empirical data, not theory.

It is not appropriate to divide human constitutions into four like this, and I think Dr. Kwon Do-won's eight constitutions are more appropriate (I don't know directly, but when I've seen people, I've tried to divide them into four, and it's because of the need for more detailed division.)🌞🌞

If you assign the above four constitutions to the five elements (the content is the same as the four phases of the Book of Changes), anyone with a little knowledge of yin and yang and the five elements will understand.

It can also be applied to dividing the human body into constitutions and treating diseases such as obesity that are talked about. However, obesity is not solved by simply controlling the amount of food. In Western medicine, it can be treated with surgical operations, but in Eastern medicine, it can be maintained by improving the constitution and eating and exercising according to the constitution.

However, it is a very dangerous idea to say exactly what constitution you have because it denies the rest. ..

Therefore, it is better if you lean towards one side (if possible, it can be expressed as a percentage).

This is because your lifestyle and pattern should be different depending on this bias.

This is more accurate to express it as which side is closer, other than scientifically expressed things like blood type.

This is because the treatment method for people who are already unhealthy or sick can be different.

Protecting Nature and the Environment

We live in a world with limited resources, and we have a responsibility to protect nature and preserve the environment, as we are using resources in advance for our descendants.

The various natural environmental disasters of today cannot be free from human intervention.

It takes a long time to restore the environment once it has been damaged, and it is difficult to estimate how many decades it will take for the natural restoration of the area around the Fukushima nuclear power plant caused by the Japanese earthquake.

In the sky, we are anxious about when and where used satellite debris will fall, and on the ground, all kinds of industrial waste emits a foul odor. To make matters worse, industrially advanced countries are unable to process their industrial waste, so they export it to African countries such as Ghana and Bongo.

To this end, the United Nations held a conference on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as through climate agreements, but it seems that the results were not as expected due to the work of countries with vested interests.

In this way, recognizing the seriousness of our natural environment that we are borrowing from our descendants but not establishing countermeasures can be seen as a dulling of the senses to the convenience that comes with industrialization.

This reminds me of the story of a certain chef who enjoyed the thrill of tasting blowfish poison by gradually increasing the amount, but at one point ended up dying from ingesting a fatal amount.

We need to minimize our impact on the environment in advance so that we can laugh later, but this is the opposite of the meaning of 'laugh first and cry later', and it can be said to have the same meaning as the opposite of 'you cry first when you face difficulties, but you laugh later'.

As such, the meaning of the main character's story about one fact is too difficult for ordinary people to understand.
