Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams of Yin and Yang were invented by China people. Why do Koreans use it as a national flag?

The following are the answers to the questions in Love Ask (for two people).

Morning and night Luke:

It's true that Koreans use Taiji gossip to make national flags. But only in shape. Because the people who designed the Korean flag at that time did not understand the meaning of gossip, or were not proficient in gossip, the gossip sign on the Korean flag was incorrect.

It is also possible that Koreans will play the trick of replacing Seoul with Seoul again after realizing their mistakes.

Downstairs: Don't explain to others that you look like a Korean scholar.

The national flag of North Korea was originally drafted by the Korean government in exile in Shanghai, China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. At that time, they needed a flag to call on the Korean people to rise up against Japan as a symbol of fighting against the Japanese invaders, so several people made a flag with a pattern of Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams.

1946 On the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Chiang Kai-shek's government sent these people from the government in temporary exile to North Korea by special plane, and then set this flag as the national flag of South Korea.

These people who drew up the Korean flag were just warm-blooded young people who resisted Japan, and they were not proficient in the Book of Changes and gossip, and the conditions at that time did not allow them to think carefully. So, it seems that this pattern is just similar.

Since 1960s, some Korean scholars have written articles questioning the significance of this model.

The above contents can be found in Koreans' own memoirs.

Qin: With all due respect, it is too arbitrary to say upstairs that "the people who designed the North Korean flag at that time didn't understand the meaning of gossip".

Taiji Bagua, He Tu Luo Shu, Yi Xue, Yin Yang and Five Elements, etc. Belongs to "China culture". The so-called "Chinese culture" refers to a set of language, culture and ideological system that originated in the Central Plains of ancient China and spread and developed in the whole "Chinese cultural circle" including China, South Korea (North Korea), Japan, Vietnam and other countries and regions, covering religion, philosophy, ethics, educational ideas and educational contents.

As an important country in the "Han cultural circle", South Korea has had profound exchanges with China since ancient times. It can be said that "Chinese culture" is no stranger to South Korea, but it has existed since ancient times and has long been integrated into national culture. As an integral part of China culture, Yi-ology is no exception. Koreans have attached importance to and studied Yi-ology since ancient times, because Yi-ology is the focus of Confucianism and Taoism and the foundation of their national culture.

Let's talk about why the Korean flag was changed to the Taiji diagram in this way, instead of the standard Taiji Eight Diagrams diagram in the Book of Changes. I think this is precisely because Korean philosophers have a profound understanding of Yi-ology, which leads to the creative play and simplification:

First, in terms of color, Taiji Map and Bai Di use three auspicious colors commonly used in Korean national costumes: red, blue and white, which symbolize the inherent tradition of the Korean nation.

Second, there are only four hexagrams around: dry sky (sky), Kundi (earth), Holly (fire) and Kanshui (water), while the four hexagrams of Gen (mountain), Earthquake (thunder), Xun (wind) and Dui (ze) are omitted. Why?

This is because Gan represents his father (Jun) and Kun represents his mother (Hou). Other hexagrams show that:

Masaichi Nagano

Xun ~ eldest daughter

Kan ~ zhongnan

Middle school divorce

Gen ~ boy

Against a girl

Therefore, it is a reasonable simplification to take two hexagrams from the spine and take middle men and middle women as the three generations. Moreover, hexagrams have a golden mean, that is to say, the yang of hexagrams is in the middle and the yin is in the middle. In Confucianism, "heaven and earth are just right" is an expression of the ideal personality of "upright character"

Third, why are these four hexagrams located in the four corners instead of the standard innate Taiji Eight Diagrams or the acquired Taiji Eight Diagrams?

My analysis shows that the reason is this. Please take a look at the layout of the standard congenital Taiji Eight Diagrams:

Gan 1 1 1 (south)

Dui 1 10 (southeast) Xun 0 1 1 (southwest)

From 10 1 (East) Kan0 10/0 (West)

Earthquake 100 (northeast) Gen 00 1 (northwest)

Kun 000 (North)

On the Korean national flag, the orientation of the four hexagrams is:

Gan 1 1 1 (southeast) Kan 0 10 (southwest)

From 10 1 (northeast) to Kun 000 (northwest)

Look, you can get the position of the four elephants on the Korean flag by rotating the standard congenital eight diagrams counterclockwise by one phase. Moreover, the position of the hidden four hexagrams (referring to the four hexagrams that did not appear in the Han flag) is occupied by the obvious four hexagrams, which means that the obvious four hexagrams represent the role of the hidden four hexagrams, and it is established:

Dry (gold) for (gold), gold hidden in jersey, said the treasury is rich, wealth is not exposed.

From the (fire) into the earthquake (wood), the fire back to the wood, indicating that the sword is useless and useless.

The ridge (water) enters the rafters (wind), and the water is transported by wind, which means that the weather is favorable and the feng shui is circulating.

Kun (soil) enters the roots (soil) and hides in the mountains, which means endless life. Kunde (who can breed all things) captures Tibet (this is the virtue of capturing Tibet), which means that the ability to reproduce vitality is inexhaustible.

So, you see how much Confucianism and Taoist wisdom have been incorporated into the Korean national flag, which really makes us deeply ashamed of our China culture.

——————————————————

How it came about can be explained to outsiders, just like the explanation of crop circles (now it is proved that it was not done by aliens). People's thinking is biased, and you will explain it to which side has a convenient tendency. I prefer the former.

Qin said that China culture is the inherent culture of the Korean nation, and I was a little dizzy. . . Well, they all say it is Chinese culture, so it is Chinese culture. In the Han Dynasty, there was a county on the peninsula, but people on the peninsula thought it was an invasion by the Korean nation, which could only be said to be influenced by Chinese culture.

As we all know, almost all western cultures originated from ancient Rome and ancient Greece, both of which occupy an extremely important and irreversible position in western culture.

But it can't be said that ancient Roman and ancient Greek culture is France (Germany, Britain, Poland, Spain, Netherlands. . . . . . . . . . ) its own inherent culture. . . It can only be said that people in these ancient countries were greatly influenced by ancient Greece and Rome. . .

Can you say that "Greek culture is an inherent culture of France"? I don't think anyone with a little intelligence will think so. . .

Nowadays, many people always talk about going to China and South Korea to find Japanese traditional culture. . . Although the domestic damage is relatively thorough, the key points have been laid out and changed. How can it be called China traditional culture?

If you just learn from it, you can (for example, Qin Shaoyou's last sentence, "Look how much Confucianism and Taoist wisdom have been incorporated into the Korean flag, which really makes us feel deeply ashamed of our China culture!" It doesn't matter if someone else's flag doesn't come like this. Isn't your sigh your own fantasy? )
