A study on the Gyeokgook theory found in 『Myeongliyakeon』

This article examines the criteria for judgment of Gyeokguk(格局) and the characteristics of the Gyeokguk theory claimed by Jin So-am through the Myeongliyakeon(命理約言) written in the early Cheong Dynasty. The criteria for judging Gyeokguk(格局) shown in Myeongliyakeon(命理約言) are as follows. First, we judge the Gyeokguk(格局) based on Ilgan(日干) and Wolji(月支). we looked at the IIgan(日干) first, and judged the Gyeokguk(格局) based on the relationship between IIgan(日干) and Wolji(月支). Second, Gyeokguk(格局) was classified as Jeong Six-gyeok(正六格) and Byeon Six-gyeok(變六格). Again, the Jeonggyeok(正格) was divided into good and bad. Jeonggyeok(正格) and Byeongyeok(變格) differ in application methods. Third, there is an order of judging Gyeokguk(格局). See if Wolji(月支)'s Bongi(本氣) has been Tugan(透干), look at Junggi(中氣) or Yeogi(餘氣), and look at other kanji(干支). The characteristics of Myeongliyakeon(命理約言)'s the Gyeokguk theory are as follows. First, Sinsal(神殺) was excluded and the Jabgyeok (雜格) was simplified. The same five elements(五行) were not viewed as a sudden Gyeokguk(格局). Second, in Jeong Six-gyeok(正六格), the concurrent sentence Gyeomgyeok(兼格) was newly accepted. The importance of Sipseong(十星) was determined in the order of Jae(財) > Gwan(官) > Pyeongwan(偏官) > In(印), and the name of the Gyeomgyeok(兼格) was given. Third, Gyeokguk(格局) countries were classified from various perspectives. The variability of Gyeokguk(格局) was recognized. Sixty Sanggyeok(上格) and Sixty Hagyeok(下格) were listed. Fourth, Tugan(透干) was considered centering on the Bongi(本氣) of Wolji(月支). The priority of Tugan(透干) has changed from the 'date-centered Tugan(透干) method' to the 'BongiI(本氣) Tugan(透干) method'.
