Explanation 1 · Principles of Creation
HANGUL, The Cosmic Philosophy · p.162 / 428
The concept of creation
is expressed through
a single round dot (ㆍ),
signifying the initial emergence of existence.
As it originates from Heaven,
it is positioned at the top (ㅗ)
and extends outward (ㅏ),
representing the principle of Yang.
The vowels ㅛㅑ(yo ya)
incorporate the Human element,
symbolizing rebirth or renewal.
This is visually represented
by the presence of two round dots (ㆍㆍ),
reinforcing their meaning.
The vowels ㅗ ㅜ ㅓ ㅠ ㅕ(o u eo yu yeo)
originate from Earth,
and understanding the principles
behind the previously mentioned vowels
naturally leads to understanding these as well.
