The basic spirit of Korean philosophy is often explained by old stories and ideas, such as Dangun mythology, shamanic mythology, and Won Hyo's single thoughts, and the reasons for seeing heaven and people, life and death, and me and the world as one. In the history of Korean philosophy or Eastern philosophy classes, the task of summarizing this flow and writing what you feel is frequently presented, but the first step is to take a perspective that reads myths as philosophies rather than stories.

In this article, we take a look at dangun mythology, baride mythology, and monopoly, and summarize how to connect the summary and sentiment.

Why is the Dangun myth read as philosophy?

Dangun Mythology is the story of the founding of Gojoseon, which was written by Ilyeon in Three Kingdoms. You can read it in terms of history and culture, but if you pay attention to the structure of Dangun, a human being, who is born when the heavenly hero and the earthly girl meet, you can read about the heavenly and earthly reason that heaven and earth and man are one. The idea that God and man are not far apart, but connected, is a philosophical read.

When writing a summary, focus on how this story draws the relationship between God and people rather than the plot, and you can summarize it as a philosophical task.

How does the oneness of the East differ from that of the West?

Often Western thinking tends to find transcendent beings outside the world, while Eastern thinking prepares me to seek to be one with the world within. Pan-Il of Indian thought, the anti-go myth of China, and all of Korea's heaven and earth are mentioned together as examples of this unity. In terms of finding the truth in me, it is an interesting attempt to compare Plato's learning with Menon's paradoxes and ideologies, which he saw as a reminder of what the soul already knew.

It is enough to clearly state one thing in common and one difference in comparison paragraph, so it is good to be greedy and not talk about many ideas.

용어 옆에 짧은 예시를 같이 적어 두면 시험 때 금방 떠오르더라고요. 모르는 단어는 그날 바로 뜻을 적어 두는 습관이 저한테는 도움이 됐어요.

What kind of heart did the myth of the Pharisees contain?

Baridegi is a shamanic myth in which an abandoned youngest daughter goes to the underworld and saves her parents and becomes a god. In this story, life and death, the Hereafter and the Hereafter, the sacred and the ordinary are not separated, but meld into one. This irreligious mind is often treated as a concept that explains the ethos of Koreans along with the folklore of Silla. The structure of the abandoned being that saves everyone is also a point worth talking about in the watchlist.

To summarize this part, pair one or two sentences of the plot of the story with one or two sentences of the reason for oneness contained in it, and myths and philosophies will be naturally connected.

The keyword that counts the three ideas together?

Dangun mythology, Baridegian mythology, and monogamy are different ages and forms, but they have the idea of being united in common. In the Dangun mythology, the sky, the earth, and people are united, in the Baridegian mythology, life, death, and the castle, and in the monogamy, the divided teachings and the world are united. If you catch this commonality first, you can not only summarize the three chapters separately, but also group them into a flow under the big theme of the basic spirit of Korean philosophy. Even when reviewing the exam, it is easy to recall the key points by only remembering what each idea saw and what came together.

If you put these keywords once in the introduction or conclusion of a summary assignment, the three chapters will not be scattered and will be read as one article.

How would you use Won Hyo's one-judge and summary assignments?

The single thought is the idea of Wonhyo the monk of Silla, and it is the idea that he can encompass the teachings and the world divided into several divisions with one mind. If we connect the reasons for oneness shown in the previous two myths are organized in Buddhist thought, the flow of three chapters leads to a single line. Campus-style Korean philosophy's Mac summary data, which summarizes the Dangun myth, the Baridegian myth, and the monopoly by chapter and adds feelings, is good for reference when looking at the length of the summary and how it is connected with the sentiment. Write about your experience and how you can revive the mindset that sees you, others, and the world as one in the busyness of your daily life. If you summarize the last sentence with the keyword 'oneness', which stitches together three ideas, the post will be firmly finished.
