GiCheon Myeong
Myeong - an inscription on monument: a
precept: a motto: a constant guide: a daily (favorite) motto
“GiCheon Myeong” is a
teaching that has been
transmitted by nameless GiCheon
sages’ word of mouth or orally. It
has 64 letters that begin with “Gi” and end with “Cheon (the Heavens).”
There’s no trace remained to presume where GiCheon came from and how it was
called. But the one thing what we can guess about how it was named is based on
the fact that GiCheon Myeong starts with “Gi” and ends with “Cheon.
It is said that “GiCheon Myeong”
describes every characteristics of the GiCheon curricula (which are static
discipline, moving discipline, and mind discipline). It also mentions that of
the health, physiological and psychological benefits of GiCheon, and the real
goal to practice GiCheon (i.e. how GiCheon practitioner should live).
But its whole contents can’t be systematically explained since it has been
transmitted orally without the systematic order for a very long time.
