<History of Yin & Yang>
To understand the history of Yin & Yang.
One needs to understand of the lost history of the Ancient of East
"Since the end of the Three Sacred Dynasties called
Hwahn-gook,
Bae-dahl,
and Old Joseon,"
(DoJeon 1:1:6)
The map of the Three Sacred Dynasties:
Hwahn-gook (ü¸ÏÐ); lasted from 7199 to 3898 BC
Bae-dahl (ÛÃÓ¶); from 3898 to 2333 BC
Old Joseon (ͯðÈàØ); from 2333 to 238 BC
The fist civilization is called Hwahn-gook. there culture and religion was
called Shingyo(Spirit Teaching).
Spirit Teaching (ãêÎç): Shin-gyo. Primordial form of spirituality,
ur-religion, which existed at the beginning of human civilization.
In spirit Teaching, people worshiped
Sahng-jeh-nim or the God, Lord of Heaven and the spirits in heaven and earth,
and ancestral spirits.
From Spirit Teaching, people learned of God, the nature of the universe,
and how to conduct their lives.
The country or dynasty called Hwahn-gook is not the country or civilization
of certain country or ethnic, but the root country and civilization of all human.
So, it is the origin and root for every country.
After Hwan-gook, there comes seperations of different cultures and civilizations.
In current history is known as the 4 civilizations
Mesopotamian civilization, Indus civilization, Huanghe civilization
and Egypt civilization.
For the West, it has well-known that the there was a country or civilization called
"Sumerian civilization" during BC 3500-1950. which is also known the former
civilization of Mestopotamian civlization. it was found at the same place.
Until yet, the history scholars find the Sumerian civilization as the very first
civilization of human history.
Now, let me get back to the subject, so when and how was yin & yang found or revealed?
Bohk-hee(?- 3413 BC):
Also referred to as Great Bright Bohk-hee. In China's mythology, he was an early Chinese emperor born with a snake's body. But he was the last son of the fiftth emperor, Tae-ooh-ui of the Bae-dahl dynasty(3898-2333 BC), Korea.
According to I-Ching, he was the father of civilization and the first person to
draw I-Ching trigrams. His name is also romanized as Fuxi or Fu-hsi.
(DoJeon Appendix E, Glossary)
How did Bohk-hee found the yin & yang?
By the Diagram he had found at Yellow River. He was a cultivator of Dao.
studied and meditated. here is the diagram.
Ha-doh(Yellow River Diagram) was discovered by Bohk-hee, who,
according to I-Ching, was the founder of civilization.
Bearing this pattern on its back, a legendary beast called a "dragon horse"
emerged from the Yellow River. The digagram illustrate the philosophy of creativity and change based on numerology. Black dots represent the even (yin) numbers, and white dots the odd(yang) numbers.
One yang and one yin number is assigned to each of the five elements.
(DoJeon Appendix D, Diagrams of Creativity and Change)
Taesabunim word
"One plus Two is Three.
Then what is One plus one plus one?
That is also three.
You know Li(principle)
than there is no way
you can be swindled by others."
The principle or nature law is the law.
Something not can be changed.
Therefor you know the law,
you can have the wise eyes of
what is going to happen next
from the small scale of incident up to the big scale incident.
There is no way that the principle can be changed.
spring is spring. summer is summer.
This Li(principle, Nature Law) is revealed to human as "Sang(nature sign)"
and the concrete explanation of Li and Sang is "Su(The Number)".
"The Number is not made by the meanings of man
but The Number itself is the Truth and philosophy.
Therefor the Sang(nature sign) of The Number is not a fake-vision
but a genuine-vision.
Once more, all-things in nature appear as Sang(nature sign),
and that Sang(nature sign) absolutely contains
the context of the Sang(nature sign) which is Su(The number)"
(I translated a part of the book
"Principle of change and transformation of the universe")
Let me give you an example.
There is a old saying in Korea,
When a swallow flies low on the ground than it will rain soon.
Why?
The Sang(nature sign) is "the swallow flying low".
Well, before raining the air pressure gets low that
the weather becomes humid.
The insects with wings will be flying low
and the swallows will be flying low to eat the insects with wings.
The number of swallows will tell how much humid it is therefor
it explains how hard it will rain.
The swallow flying low itself is the nature sign.
the reason of swallow flying low will be the Li(principle).
Have you see the movie "Troy"?
If you did you might remember the scene
when the priest advises to the Priam King of Troy who were talking
if they had to release the woman or fight against Achilles of the Greeks,
the priest said
something about a bird was flying and Hector the eldest son of Priam King
didn't believe it. I just wanted to point out that the priest or religious advisor
was trying to see the Sang(nature sign) of what is going to happen.
