The traditional laws of Korea have undergone various stages of development over time. This includes the voluntary standards of the clean society. Korea's traditional legal systems, ranging from those of the Goryeo(高麗) to those of the Republic of Korea, have taken Confucian Phiosophy as their major ideological bases. At the center of these Confucian ideals, particularly in regards to pre-Qin Confucian Philosophy(先秦儒家思想) from where these ideals originated, lie the core ideals which emphasize the responsibility of each individual regardless of the social status(正名), the needs for a democracy in which people are empower and guide the state(民本), the importance of reigning with benevolence, moral excellence, and rite (仁義), and the differential love centered on kinship and humanity(親親愛人). These were the ideas as set forth by Confucius(孔子), Mencius(孟子) and Xun Zi(荀子). The current laws of Korea, especially in regards to the Constitution and the Civil and Criminal Laws, include a number of provisions that contain the Confucian Ideas of Law. The Constitution, in particular, which is also supported by the judgement of the Constitution Court, reflects several core Confucian ideals including filial duty (孝) and respect for ascendants and the traditional culture. The Court also suggested the two important standards of the constitutional legitimacy of the Traditional Culture. One is 'Age Compatibility (時代 適合性)', the other is 'Manifested Universally Validity(現在的 普遍妥當性)'. So we have burdened with the reestablishment of the Universal Ethics of the Confucian Ideology.

한국은 백 년 이래로 군사적 침략과 경제적 대변혁을 맞았으며, 또한 종교와 문화적 측면에서 전통의 중흥기와 서학의 유입에 대한 문제를 경험하게 되었다. 이런 점에서 한국의 역사적 경험은 주변 국가의 국민들이 배울 만한 의미가 있다고 생각된다. 이와 연관하여 대순진리회가 역사를 계승하고 창신을 이루어나가는 측면의 문제는 정리해볼 만한 가치가 있다. 대순진리회의 종지는 '음양합덕, 신인조화, 해원상생, 도통진경'이다. 특히 대순진리회는 해원상생 사상으로 조화정신을 집중적으로 잘 나타내고 있다. 대순진리회의 해원은 고대 단주로부터의 원을 푸는 것에서 시작되며, 인류가 근본적으로 여러 세대에 걸친 원한을 풀어야만 행복하고 안락한 시대에 진입할 수 있다는 역사관을 보여주고 있다. 대순진리회가 해원을 푸는 방책으로 제시하는 상생은 당시의 갑오동학혁명이나 역사상 많은 종교에서 원한을 해결하는 방법과 구별되는 것이다. 과거에 있어서는 상극의 방법으로 원한을 해결하여 왔으나, 상극의 방식은 오히려 새로운 원한을 더욱 만들어 낼 수 있기 때문에, 현대에 있어 원한을 제거할 수 있는 방법은 악을 선으로써 대하는 것이라고 한다. 증산 성사 및 그 후학들은 사회의 질서를 새롭게 세우는 문제와 전통사회에서 인간 간의 조화를 방해하고 원한을 용인하는 구습을 개조하고 원을 소멸하는 문제에 주의를 기울였다. 이러한 변혁은 평등의 관념을 나타내고 있다. 증산께서는 전 세계적인 관점에서 민족과 국가 그리고 종교 간의 조화를 실현해야 할 것을 강조하셨다. 당시 동아시아 국가는 매우 폐쇄적인 상황에서 서양 국가의 침략을 받던 시기였는데, 증산 성사께서 미래의 세계는 마땅히 화합을 이루고 서로의 장점을 배우는 세계가 될 것임을 예견하셨다는 것은 그의 위대함을 보여주는 대목이다. 증산의 후천개벽사상 역시 조화의 정신을 나타내고 있다. 후천개벽사상은 전통적 참위를 현대적으로 개조한 것으로 민중을 적극적으로 인도하기 위한 것이다. 다음으로, 증산께서는 각 종교에 대해 관용적인 태도를 표하셨고, 또한 매우 진지한 태도로 타 종교로부터 자신이 주창하는 사상과 관련한 자원을 흡수하셨다. 동양의 전통적인 유불선 삼교를 가장 중요한 종교와 문화형태로 인정하시고, 그 삼교의 내용을 두로 포용하셨으며, 심지어 예수교와 서양문화까지 모두 아우르는 태도를 보여주셨다. 서양의 문화 역시 증산께서 추구하시는 신세계의 한 부분이었기 때문이다. 이러한 사실은 증산께서 당시 세계의 역사적 방향에 대해 통찰하고 있었고 이 통찰 속에서 종교 간의 관계가 조화롭게 되어야 함을 주창했음을 말해 준다. 대순사상에는 민간 무교의 내용 역시 풍부하게 들어있다. 부뚜막신, 사명, 아표신, 마장군, 백의군왕, 황천신 등 민간에서 유행했던 다양한 신령숭배의 내용을 흡수했을 뿐만 아니라, 주문과 부를 태우는 법술로 신명과 관련된 내용을 표현하고 있으며, 칠성과 관우의 신앙까지 수용하고 있다. 또한 증산 성사는 동학과 같은 신종교까지 받아들이셨다. 증산께서는 동학혁명의 비참한 최후를 완화시켰던 위대한 역사적 공적을 이루셨으며, 신종교 운동의 사회적 형태를 변화시켰을 뿐 아니라, 서로 다른 내력을 지닌 교도들간의 관계를 조화롭게 하였다. 이로 볼 때 결국 증산께서 주창한 대순사상은 사람들 간의 충돌과 모순을 소멸시키고, 조화와 상생의 사회 환경을 창조하고자 하는 것이었다고 할 수 있다.

Modern Neo-Confucianism was formed as a school by solving the modern problems in China through accepting western philosophies with Chinese basic philosophies since New Cultural Movement. Marxism, Liberalism, and Modern Neo-Confucianism are called three representatives of Chinese modern philosophies. Since the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, Modern Neo-Confucianists have tried to keep their philosophy and cultural conservatism in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Modern Neo-Confucianism which had been prohibited before 1978 was brought again to people's attention in the middle of 1980s by their active lectures and writings. Furthermore, the study on Modern Neo-Confucianism was supported by the Chinese government in 1987. China was trying to find the way to enhance Chinese tradition and to develop China to a modern society at the same time through the study on Modern Neo-Confucianism. The purpose of Modern Neo-Confucianism is to keep Chinese tradition which was broken off, to develop China to a modern society, to control the problems caused by capitalism socially, and ultimately to strengthen socialism in China in the political aspect. The study on Modern Neo-Confucianism in the 1980s focused on introducing, organizing, and understanding Modern Neo-Confucianism as its early stage. This study was led by Marxists with their methods and viewpoints. Even though the acceptance and understanding of Modern Neo-Confucianism was limited in a short period, the study on Modern Neo-Confucianism in the 1980s propagated Modern Neo-Confucianism. Modern Neo-Confucianism also played an important role to grow the argument about the critical succession of Chinese tradition and to reconsider the fact that modernization does not mean only westernization.

This study focuses on the problems of traditional ethics in the textbooks of 7th Moral Education Curriculum. As the fact that Traditional Ethics is an advanced elective of high school curriculum shows, 'traditional ethics' is an important part of moral education curriculum. Unfortunately, many have maintained that there are significant problems in the contents of traditional ethics described in moral education curriculum. The problems mentioned are: encyclopedic enumeration of the contents, incorrect information, content repetitions, placing too much one-sided emphasis on confucianism, lack of organic link between Korean and oriental ethics, and unlikeliness of accomplishing subject's objectives. This study raises more fundamental problems. The problems pointed out are as follows. First, the definition of traditional ethics in the textbooks is problematic. Second, there is a lack of examination on 'tradition'. Third, there exists a naive understanding that western ethics or thoughts are the causes of all problems and oriental traditional ethics is the cure-all for them. Fourth, viewpoints of orientalism or occidentalism are widespread in describing traditional ethics.

This study conducts a case analysis based on the Olympic Forest Park in Beijing, which is specially designed for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The construction of the Olympic Forest Park not only comprises the design philosophy of city parks and forest parks, but also applies Chinese traditional design elements. This study, first, researches on the design concepts of city parks in the context of traditional landscape architecture elements from both physical and cultural perspectives. The author studies the related materials including the"General Introduction of the Beijing Olympic Forest Park Landscape Plan", and employs the approaches of site investigation and user survey and interview, to analyze the cognition and preference degree of the various traditional design elements displayed in the Olympic Forest Park. To quantize the survey data on the Olympic Forest Park, this study uses the spss(v17.0) software to run a frequency analysis and presents detailed demographic, frequencies and means analyses. The author then reaches the conclusion on the preference degree of the various Chinese traditional design elements in the Olympic Forest Park. According to the analysis result, the elements that appear with the highest frequencies are mountains and waters, traditional garden plants and artistic conception. The most favorable elements are in sequence traditional garden architecture, traditional garden philosophical thinking and artistic conception. The Olympic Forest Park in Beijing is constructed on the basis of multiple design elements, comprising Chinese traditional design elements and the historical axis. As an exemplification of contemporary city park that reflects the variation of age and development of society, the Olympic Forest Park offers the reference for the selection of traditional design elements in the future schemes of city parks. However, due to the difficulty in gathering materials about the Forest Park and the limitations on the location and time constrain of the survey, there exists lack of sufficiency that could be improved in the future.

In this study, annual maximum storm events are evaluated by applying the bivariate extremal distribution. Rainfall quantiles of probabilistic storm event are calculated using OR case joint return period, AND case joint return period and interval conditional joint return period. The difference between each of three joint return periods was explained by the quadrant which shows probability calculation concept in the bivariate frequency analysis. Rainfall quantiles under AND case joint return periods are similar to rainfall depths in the univariate frequency analysis. The probabilistic storm events overcome the primary limitation of conventional univariate frequency analysis. The application of these storm event analysis provides a simple, statistically efficient means of characterizing frequency of extreme storm event.

To the mid 19th from the early 20th century, there were many movements about religion in Korea society. Protestant which first flew in 1885 grew up greatly and Confucianism of traditional thought sought for religionization to survive. At once new religions named Korea ethnical religion appeared. They are Donghak(東學), Daejonggyo(大倧敎), Jeungsangyo(甑山敎) and Won-Buddhism. Generally speaking, these ethnical religions deeply relates with Korea original mental culture. In this paper, I want to infer that these religions have Korea origin metal culture. The first, I will consider some traditional thoughts of (1) worshiping of Heaven, (2) practice and (3) harmony from traditional (religious) ceremonies and thoughts. Ans then I will infer how these traditional thoughts from origin mental culture appear in ethnical religions of Donghak(東學), Won-Buddhism(圓佛敎), and Jeungsangyo(甑山敎).
