“Jungwha Sutra(中和經)” is a scripture written by Kang Jeung-san, a modern Korean thinker in the Empire of Korea. “Jungwha Sutra” seems to have reorganized Confucianism thoughts and supplemented them. Jeungsan(甑山) seems to have oriented to integrated religious pluralism as he evenly accepted three religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are included in this scripture. Especially, he tried to suggest circular thinking and a practical plan of the future through the trigram of ‘The Book of Change’. Asian perspectives on holistic modes of thinking and the ways of living appear in “Jungwha Sutra”. For example, among the 64 trigrams of ‘The Book of Change(周易)’, 8 trigrams; “Hwasanye(火山旅), jisusa(地水師), lesuhe(雷水解), liwehwa(離爲火), chentekli(天澤 履), teklesu(澤雷水), pungleik(風雷益), sanlei(山雷頤) trigram(卦)” and ‘8 out of 28 Constellation(宿)’ were expressed in the poem. In other words, it is expressed as a poem with two pairs of poems as one, but it is merely poetry in general terms. However, if you look at them closely, there is a name that expresses each trigram in this poem. Holistic modes of thinking and the ways of living were reflected in the interpretation of the principle of the protagonist. I have considered that Jeongsan has given symbolism to representative stars, trigrams and historical figures, “Undae(臺台)” 28 generals which represent 28 zones among the stars floating in the sky, in expressing literary works through the form of Chiran Yulsi(七律詩). And this symbolism has an organic relation with the stars, trigrams and “Undae(臺台)” 28 generals and reveals the principle of change and transformation. Through this, it can be said that the phenomenon of prosperity sees nature as the flow and progress of the organic relation of all the individual beings.
