Interpretation to Yul-Gok:
Yul-Gok is the pseudonym of the great philosopher and scholar Yi I (1536 - 1584), nicknamed the "Confucius of Korea". The 38 movements of this pattern refer to his birthplace on the 38° latitude and the diagram represents "scholar".
Interpretation to Joong-Gun
Joong-Gun is named after the patriot Ahn Joong-Gun who assassinated Hiro-Bumi Ito, the
first Japanese governor-general of Korea, known as the man who played the
leading part in the Korea-Japan merger. There are 32 movements in this pattern
to represent Mr. Ahn's age when he was executed in a Lui-Shung prison (1910).
