One of the key ideas of Doseon's Pungsu-jiri-seol is the Baekdu-daegan, the mountain-range-spine
of the Korean Peninsula, believed by traditionalists of all sorts to continuously feed essential Gi
throughout the nation, from its mountains into all its agricultural products, spring-waters and air, and
thus into its people.
It's unimpeded clear flow is considered necessary for the birth and raising of
heroic and virtuous citizens, and thus for the health, strength and prosperity of the Korean Nation.
San-shin worship at the great mountains along its path is believed to assist and increase this Gi-flow.
Another of his key concepts is the hyeol, an auspicious site on the slope of a mountain where the
energies of Heaven and Earth [Cheon-gi & Ji-gi] are very well-balanced and can best be accessed by
beings who live there, to promote their physical and mental health and the development of their wisdom.
There usually should be a high prominent "Black Tortoise" (with the turtle depicted having snake or dragon
parts) 현무 玄武:北 peak to the rear (north), a rocky "White Tiger" 백호 白虎:西 ridge on the right (west),
a winding "Blue Dragon" 청룡 靑龍:東 ridge on the left (east), and a good open view beyond a protective
hill to the "Red Phoenix" 주작 朱雀:南 direction in front (the south); water from a spring, stream or river
up in front is excellent.
The Gi of a hyeol is said to swirl to the right (in the 'clockwise' direction) which
gives positive effects (left or counterclockwise motion is then negative-effecting energy, while straight-moving is just
'neutral'); it is said to calm the wind in that area and attract water to it.
Among the best-known of the many examples of these spots are Jiri-san's Cheonghak-dong Valley south of Samshin-bong Peak,
Sobaek-san's Buseok-sa Temple, Deogyu-san's Gucheondong or Toham-san's Bulguk-sa & Seokgul-am.
