The chunmunryucho(천문류초) written by lee sun-ji(이순지) in the early joseon dynasty represent the Celestial planisphere knowledge and water conception during the joseon dynasty. it was because that The chunmunryucho(천문류초) had astromantic conception and yin-yang and five elements(음양오행) conception also. In the chunmunryucho(천문류초), there were the two constellations which are related to the conception of water creation and water circulation. chon-il(천일) is related to the conception of water creation. the other hand, tae-il(太一) is related to the conception of water circulation such as rain, dew, frost, snow, hail, mist, fog, cloud. tae-il(太一) makes the heavenly energy such as rain, dew, frost, snow, hail fall into earth. also tae-il(太一) makes the earthly energy such as mist, fog, cloud upto heaven. so the heavenly energy and earthly energy circulate between heaven and earth by tae-il(太一) By the comparative Study on the wind(風) of 『chonmunryucho(天文類抄)』 and the the wind foretell(風占) of 『gaewongumkyung(開元占經)』, we can conclude that The chunmunryucho(천문류 초) had a integrating conception in water creation and water circulation. but in order to stress yin-yang and five elements(음양오행), the integrating conception of the chunmunryucho(천문류초) gave more important role to yin-yang and five elements(음양오행) than to chon-il(천일) and tae-il(太一).
