Feng Shui refers to the view of nature and land that our ancestors tried to find a way to live in harmony with nature, recognizing the nature as a living organism. ''Family head''s house(宗宅)'' is a dwelling space in which Iphyangjo(each surname''s ancestor who first settled in a village) established his foundation and where his descendents have lived from generation to generation. ''Family head''s village'' refers to the clan village(集姓村) that is formed by the people of the same surname(同姓) as Iphyangjo(入鄕祖), as houses of descendents gradually increase centering around the family head''s house.
Family head''s house and family head''s village are crowded on northern area of Andong in Yeongnam Province where lots of propitious sites are distributed with mountains and waters in harmony.
Since family head''s villages with existing family head''s house located at the place that is well matched with the landscape and produced a large number of great scholars, the necessity of research on such location came to the front. Subjects of this research were 76 family head''s villages in northern Gyeongsangbuk-do area. This study reviewed whether the locational environment of family head''s house is qualified sufficiently to be a good place in terms of traditional Feng Shui, and if it is, what kind of conclusion can we draw from the standard data of the good place.
This thesis applied the empirical scientific frame of analyses in Feng Shui, Gallyongbeop(看龍法), Jangpungbeop(藏風法), Deuksubeop(得水法), Jeonghyeolbeop(定穴法), Jwahyangbeop(坐向法), and the locational type of family head''s villages were classified into Jangpungguk(藏風局), Deuksuguk(得水局) and JangpungDeuksuguk(藏風得水局).
As for a quantitative study of the locational type of family head''s villages, the data that applied 23 items of locational types of Feng Shui according to types of location were analyzed using IBM Statistics 20. To the 23 locational items applied, Gallyongbeop analyzed the capacity of Naeryongmaek(Big mountain range of Baekdudaegan, NakdongJeongmaek(Jeongmaek is a range forked out from a big range, that is, a term wether the geographical features of a mountain is big or small), the height of main peek and the height of Hyeonmu peek, and Jangpungbeop analyzed Hyeonmu peek(玄武峯), Bonsinyongho(本身龍虎)<The mountain ridges on the left(Cheongyong) and right(Baekho) stretched out from the main peek>, the vertical width of Jungmyeongdang(中明堂), the size of Jungmyeongdang, the height of Ansan(案山), the distance between family head''s house and Ansan and Sugusa(水口砂). As for Deuksubeop, water systems(水系), Deuksu(得水), type of Deuksu, type of force of water(水勢形態), the length of water system were analyzed, and as for Jeonghyeolbeop, the distance between Hyeonmu and family head''s house, altitude of family head''s house(宗宅標高), the distance between family head''s house and village border and the size of Somyeongdang(小明堂) were analyzed. As for Jwahyangbeop, left direction from family head''s house(宗宅坐向), Deuksuhyang(得水向), Paguhyang(破口向) and Suryuhyang(水流向) were applied and analyzed.
Followings are the summary of the results of statistical analysis.
First of all, as for the analysis according to locational type, the capacity of Naeryongmaek, the height of main peek, the height of Hyeonmu peek, the distance between Hyeonmu and family head''s house, the size of Somyeongdang, the vertical width of Jungmyeongdang, the size of Jungmyeongdang, the distance between family head''s house and water system, the distance between family head''s house and Ansan, the height of Ansan, water systems, Deuksu, type of Deuksu and the length of water system were related with the location of Feng Shui.
First, concerning the capacity of Naeryongmaek, as for Jangpungguk, Baekdudaeganmaek(白頭大幹脈) was 81.5%, Nakdongjeongmaek(洛東正脈) was 18.5%, and as for Deuksuguk, Baekdudaeganmaek was 37.5%, Nakdongjeongmaek was 62.5%. As for JangpungDeuksuguk, Baekdudaegan was 54.5%, Nakdongjeongmaek was 45.5%. There was difference according to the locational type and the capacity of Naeryongmaek, because Jangpungguk located at where Sasinsa was prepared and Deuksuguk located along Nakdongjeongmaek that is adjacent to water.
Second, as for the average distance between Hyeonmu peak and family head''s house, Jangpungguk was 406.5m, Deuksuguk was 750.1m and JangpungDeuksuguk was 343.1m. The average distance of Jangpungguk and Deuksuguk was different, because Jangpungguk had a short Bonsinyongho that protects Hyeoljang from wind and Deuksuguk had the Naeryongmaek to get water stretched far out to form Hyeoljang. The average distance of JangpungDeuksuguk was shorter as it is in the shape that Bonsinyongho protects Hyeoljang at near.
Third, concerning water system, in case of Jangpungguk, ditch(溪流川) was 65.4% and branch(支流河川) was 23.1%, and in case of Deuksuguk, Nakdong river(洛東江) was 46.2% and mainstream(本流河川) was 53.8%. In case of JangpungDeuksuguk, mainstream was 66.7%. and b ranch was 27.3%. The reason ditch takes much part in Jangpungguk location is the rising of Naesu(inner water). Deuksuguk is located at the space where water system is formed. JangpungDeuksuguk, the place where mountain system(山系) and water system(水系) is gathered, is located at the place where ditch water(溪流水) and branch water(支流水) are combined to make mainstream.
Lastly, as for Deuksu in Jangpungguk, Inner water(內水) and Outer water(外水) appears frequently in the form of Iljasu(一字水) and ditch water. In case of Deuksuguk, Outer water appears frequently in the form of archer. In case of JangpungDeuksuguk, Outer water, and Inner and Outer water appear frequently in the form of archer(弓水), but in the form of non-archer(反弓水) at times.
Next, as for the Feng Shui structure of the family head''s house, the capacity of Naeryongmaek, the altitude of family head''s house, the left direction from family head''s house, Deuksu and Suryuhyang underwent cross analysis, correlation analysis and difference analysis and followings are the results.
First, as for the capacity of Naeryongmaek, the size of Jungmyeongdang, water systems, types of Deuksu, distance of water system were correlated.
Second, as for the altitude of family head''s house, the height of main peek, the height of Hyeonmu peek, the height of Ansan, the distance between Hyeonmu and family head''s house, the size of Somyeongdang, the distance between family head''s house and water system, the distance between family head''s house and Ansan, water systems, Deuksu and the distance of water system were correlated.
Third, the left direction from family head''s house and items of loction were not correlated.
Fourth, as for Deuksu, items of loction, the altitude of family head''s house, the height of main peek, the height of Hyeonmu peek, the height of Ansan, the size of Jungmyeongdang, the distance between family head''s house and water system, the distance between family head''s house and Ansan, water systems, type of Deuksu and the distance of water system were correlated.
Laslty, as for Suryuhyang, water systems and type of Deuksu were correlated.
Assessing from the above results of statistical analysis, the location of family head''s village may fulfill basically the precondition that traditional Feng Shui regards as a propitious site.
This thesis could acquire various statistical results through analysis of the locational space of family head''s village, and could confirm once again that they were considerably related with the location method of traditional Feng Shui. It is expected for the future that a lot more researchers try to investigate the study traditional Feng Shui by grafting locational environment and local development.
