A Study on the Location of Feng Shui in Sejong Government Complex
This paper examines the flow of mountains and water based on the government building in Sejong Special self-governing City based on the Blue Dragon Baekho Jujak Hyeonmu, which originated from astronomical thought. The Sejong Metropolitan Government considers Mt. Wonsu as its main mountain. However, the mountains surrounding Sejong City are surrounded by Mt. Wonsu, Mt. Jeonwol, Mt. Guksabong, Mt. Janggun, Mt. Goehwasan, and Mt. Bihak, but the location of the main mountain does not match the city center. Based on the government building and the center of the city, Sejong’s waterway is Bangchukcheon Stream, which crosses Jecheon and Government House from the right, Mihocheon Stream, which flows from the back of Jeonwolsan Mountain, joins the Geumgang River, and Daegyocheon Stream in Janggun-myeon also joins the Geumgang River, so Sejong City and Government Complex should look at the Geumgang River as a whole. Sejong City has a relatively small national tax of inner Myeong-dang, and all the mountains of the Sasinsa(Blue Dragon, Baekho, Jujak, Hyeonmu) are unable to respond to each other. The flow of the small river is not able to surround the government building, but it is fortunate that the Geumgang River matches the mountain of Sejong City. It is said that the shape of the government building representing Sejong City resembles a dragon, but the mountain and water do not match, so it is not clear whether it is a flying Changryong or a dragon that goes into the water. For the development of Sejong City and the national development, the government building must have certain symbolism and outstanding capabilities. By looking at the form of whether the mountains and waterways surrounding Sejong City include astronomical ideas, I would like to suggest a direction necessary for the development of Sejong City in the future. Sejong City is an area that consists of basins and where there is always a risk of flooding.
