Analysis of the Astronomical System of Constellations in Korguryo Tomb Murals
Abstract
This article articulates the Koguryian characteristics of astronomy shown in Koguryo mural tombs, which were painted from the fourth to the seventh century. As of 2008, a total of 107 mural tombs have been discovered. Of these, I confirmed that twenty-five tombs had constellation paintings. Analyzing these constellation tombs, four guardian deities as mystical animals (Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Phoenix, and Black Warrior) were guardians of this world. I discovered that Koguryo people developed Sasook-do, a unique constellation system of four directions that is in charge of guarding the cosmos. It consisted of the Big Dipper on the north ceiling, the Southern Dipper, the Eastern Double Three Stars, and the Western Double Three Stars. Each corresponds with the Great Bear, the Archer, the Scorpion, and Orion, respectively. The Three Polar stars are placed in the center and are enlarged according to Osook-do, a five constellation system for directions. The Southern Dipper was a very important constellation rarely seen among Chinese mural tombs during this period.
