    Origin of letters in Nature

    Wherever there are natural sounds in Heaven and Harth,
    there will inevitably be corresponding letters to represent
    them.
    In ancient times, people created letters based on these
    natural sounds, enabling them to effectively convey all
    meanings in the world. These letters were designed
    according to Hattangsa, the Three Principle (Heaven, Earth,
    and Human), making it difficult for future generations to
    alter them carelessly.

    Influence of geography on language
    However, when the geography and environment differ, the
    sounds and energy of each region also vary.
    This leads to differences in pronunciation and language,
    requiring a writing system that reflects the unique
    characteristics of each culture and region.
