Why do I associate the sight of the Korean flag with the Taoist ghost-hunting scene?

From 1883 (the late Korean dynasty), South Korea began to use Taiji flag. After the establishment of the Republic of Korea, it continued to be used. 1948, when the Korean government was founded, it was decided to use the Taiji flag as the national flag of South Korea. 1949, the Korean Ministry of Education officially confirmed the current style of the Korean flag: the ratio of Taiji flag is 3 to 2; The center of the flag is Artest pattern, surrounded by gossip. According to the official explanation of South Korea, the red in the Taiji diagram represents Yang, the blue represents Yin, and the unity of Yin and Yang represents the balance and harmony of the universe. Fire and water, day and night, darkness and light, construction and destruction, male and female, active and passive, hot and cold, positive and negative, as two major forces in the universe, achieve harmony and balance through mutual opposition.

With the ether as the center, the four hexagrams symbolize the harmony of Yin and Yang, the dry hexagrams represent the sky, the Kun hexagrams represent the earth, the Kan hexagrams represent the moon and water, and the departure hexagrams represent the sun and fire. Each six-pointed star also symbolizes justice, richness, vitality and wisdom.

The background color of the national flag is white, which, according to South Korea's interpretation, symbolizes the purity and love for peace of the Korean people. The whole national flag represents the ideal of the Korean people to develop harmoniously with the universe forever.

The thought of Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams of the Korean flag comes from China's Zhouyi. The principles of harmony, symmetry, balance, circulation and stability represent the profound thinking of the Chinese nation on the universe and life. The Korean Peninsula has been influenced by China culture for a long time, and the Korean flag is a reflection of this influence.

Taiji Flag is the national flag of South Korea because China's Zhouyi and Taoism are quite influential in South Korea. 1882 In August, two envoys of the Lee Dynasty, Park Yongxiao and Yu Jinyun, were ordered to go to Japan for negotiations. At that time, there was no national flag in the Li Dynasty. The two emissaries believe that as a representative of a country, it is impossible without a national flag. After discussion, they decided to adopt the Tai Chi diagram with rich connotation and profound philosophy in Zhouyi as the national flag pattern. So they drew the Artest flag on the boat to Japan. After returning to China, the two reported to the government about drawing the national flag, which was affirmed and praised. The following year, 1883, the Lee Dynasty officially promulgated the flag as the national flag of the Lee Dynasty.

The pattern of Korean Taiji Flag is very similar to China's gossip, which inherits the ancient culture and philosophy of China, and is essentially different from superstitious Taoist ghost hunting, so it can't be seen with colored eyes.
