A Study on Yunqi Climate (運氣氣候) through analysis of Meteorological research data in Korea

한국(韓國) 기상자료(氣象資料)의 분석(分析)을 통(通)한 운기(運氣) 기후(氣候)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

The comparison of climate's character of Yunqi(運氣) with the data of meterological observation were made in the research of climate. 1. The comparison of the average velocity of wind, temperature, rainfall, humidity of Seoul, by late 1954 to 1983, with Yunqi(運氣) was made. Fire-Chi(火氣) and moisture-qi(濕氣) were matched with the attribute of Taiyun(大運). Cold-qi(寒氣) was had some relationship. Dry-qi(燥 氣) and Wind-qi(風氣) were not matched. About the relationship of Spirit-of-official-sky(司天之氣) with climate, when the Moisture-soil(濕土) was added, they were matched and when the King-fire(君火) was added, they have some relationship. But Wind-tree(風木), Dry-metal(燥金), Buble-fire(相火), Cold-water(寒水) was added they were not matched. 2. According to the observation data of rainfall by late 180 years of Seoul; about Taiyun(大運), when the Water-Yun(水運) was greatly exceeded and Fire-Yun(火運) was shorted, in the case of Official-sky(司天), when Wind-Tree(風木) was added, the frequency was highly. So when the Soil-Yun(土運) was greatly exceeded and when Official-sky(司天)was added to the Moisture-soil(濕土), the rainfall was not matched. 3. The relationship of the frequency of the abnormal climate occurrences between Yunqi-promotion-weak(運氣盛衰)and Yunqi-Harmony(運氣同化) and Yunqi-soft-attacking(運氣順逆) in the weather of Korean Peninsula was compared by 1564 to 1863. They were not matched except the case of Yunqi-Harmony(運氣同化). 4. There were some cases which were not matched exactly between the climate predicted by the theory and real climate in 1984, the year of Kap-ga(甲子年). But many correspondence between the observation by the office of meteorology and the prediction by the analysis from Yun-qi-sang-hab(運氣相合) theory. 5. Because meterological phenomena of real world and analysis from the hypothesis of Yunqi(運氣) have no relationship with each other, some of Doctor denied Yunqi(運氣) in the way of matching mechanically. But the thought of Doctor who denied Fortune-spirit(運氣) made promotion for the theory of divination by bringing deeper insight. And it was not only the negative side. 6. In the point of geographical difference, the climate of China, the origination Yunqi theory, is different from the Korea's. Thus some observation errors should be considered. From the basis of this thesis, I hope that the deeper advance would be made into the Korean Yunqi theory.

명대 장경악은 기상 현상에 관하여 "오운육기를 토대로 기화를 추측하면 피차의 영허에 대해 십중칠팔은 들어맞는다"고 하였는데, 이를 착안하여 논자는 "황제내경"에 기재된 기상에 관하여 운기의 기후 특징을 한반도 서울을 중심으로 실제 기상관측 자료와 비교 분석하였다. 기상청 자료를 토대로 서울의 평균 풍속 평균 기온 강수량 평균 습도를 운기 이론 가운데 대운과 비교하였다. 또한 과거 1564년에서 1863년까지 한반도의 이상 기후 발생 빈도와 운기성쇠 운기동화 운기순역과 비교하였을 때 운기동화의 경우와 이상 기후 발생 빈도와 일치하였다. 다만 본 논문의 실제관측 자료와 통계는 한국의 서울을 중심한 분석이기에, 중국과의 어느 정도 오차를 고려하여야 할 것이다.
