This thesis is about a tale of No-dal-chi(老獺稚 ; Nuru-ha-chi in Korean) which is the oral tradition in Korea and Vietnam. This thesis introduces facts which had been studied. It also tells informations of No-dal-chi in China, which we can refer that the tale type is based on China. Furthermore, we can extract some facts by analyzing in a way of motif which Korea, Japan and China has in common. They are I-ru-kuo-hon(異類交婚 ; marriage between human and animals) motif and Su-jung-meong-dang(水中明堂 ; a cemetery in the middle of ocean) motif. Su-jung-meong-dang motif is especially based on Chinese geomacy which proves the origin and width of this tale. Also, we have proven from this thesis that the Emperor can be selected only by the message of heaven.
This thesis added some of informations that Japanese scholar Song-bon-shin-kwang(松本信廣) and Chinese scholar Chong-kyung-moon(鐘敬文) already announced in 1930. However, the way of adding the theme, showing many more informations, looking at another point of views that other scholars above couldn't thought of are in added in this thesis.
Since the East-Asia is booked with cultural familiarity, so many informations and knowledges must be required. Because it has been studied very late and there were lack of many informations, we are worried if we make the same mistake as Japanese scholar, Kum-seo-ryong(今西龍) did.
From now on, researchers concerned in type, should collect many materials in nearby countries like Mongolia and Tibet. Also, I had a strong curiosity whether India has the similar tale as we do. But on second thought, Islam and Buddhism are not so friendly with geomacy.
