Among traditional Korean patterns, the lunar emblem (Wolsangmun), which symbolizes and embodies the moon, reflects the values and emotions of Koreans well, and has been around us for a long time. Examining domestic researches on lunar emblems, the lunar emblem has been mentioned along with the solar emblems (Ilsangmun), and most of them compared the solar and lunar emblems of the Chinese Han and Tang Dynasty with those of Goguryeo tombs, or typologically classified the solar and lunar emblems appearing on Goguryeo tomb murals.
Like this, few previous researches studied ancient lunar emblems alone, or discussed the background of the lunar emblems. Accordingly, this paper attempted to study lunar emblems alone, and the first research topic is the background of the ancient lunar emblems in Korea, which will form the basic materials for researches on Korean lunar emblems.
This paper examined the attributes and symbolism of the moon in order to study how the lunar emblems were established and developed in Korea, and investigated the background of the appearance of the circle, toad, rabbit and laurel tree, which are important components of the lunar emblems, and their important examples.
As a result, it was found that the moon is closely connected to water, earth and woman, which have negative attributes, means longevity and immortality by symbolizing the infinite circularity, and is a source of light illuminating the darkness of night, which implies Gwangmyeongise (光明理世: govern the world with a bright light). Also, as it is represented along with the sun, it symbolizes the sacred harmony and oneness of Yin (negative) and Yang (positive), and abundance and fecundity, and the full moon signifies totality, completeness and abundance, and the crescent moon on its way to the full moon means expansion and development.
Meanwhile, the components of the lunar emblems corresponded to the image of the moon symbolic of Yin, reflects the tales and totems of the Dongi (Tung-i) tribe, which is closely associated with the shamanistic cultural area, and reflected the image of the moon, based on astronomical observations, in the lunar emblems. It was found that several elements are combined. It was also revealed that the various examples of the lunar emblems symbolize new birth, immortality of the soul, royal authority, the oneness of Yin and Yang, and abundance.
This study intends to examine how the lunar emblems functioned in what positions in the Korean history and culture by comparing the lunar emblems of Korea and China, typologically classifying the Korean lunar emblems and investigating changes in their styles by period. The result of this study will go a long way in understanding the identity of the Korean culture and the emotions of Koreans.
