The purpose of this study is to elucidate the emotion-understanding of Korean and thus to find out the importance of their way of self-expression by exploring the sentiment of Korean as regards their way of communications and self-expression therein. The method of this study is, being presumed the Cheong as the Korean's sentiment, to define the differences of concept between the Cheong traditionally used by them and the emotion employed in the psychology or the theory of consultation. And also, this study examines the aforementioned importance under the presumption that the Cheong in the Korean Culture makes it difficult that their emotion-understanding and self-expression to be perfect in their way of communication. In order to attain such purpose in this study, it investigates how they have seen the emotion-understanding and self-expression as to the way of communication throughout Carl G. Jung's psychology and T oegye Yi Hwang's theory of Human Mind and Nature respectively in the Occidental and Korean's Ideology. The most important thing, to be enlightened in this study, in the way of communication and self-expression are the emotion come from the big-Self(Self) in Carl G. Jung's psychology and that of the righteous sentiment from the human nature in T oegye Yi Hwang's theory of Human Mind and Nature. In conclusion, it reveals that our behavior, unvaryingly in the Orient and the Occident, is not the rational subject but the emotional one to be reacted only if our minds are attached mutually.

Toson-Shibigok(Twelve Songs of Toson) which T'oegye, Yi Hwang, composed has received a lot of attention in terms of its educational implications. These implications have become the essential part of Gojeon Sigas(classic songs and poems), and solid evidence has also been accumulated in the literature. Therefore, the purposes of this study are twofold, that is 1) to explore the impact of T'oegye's fundamental structure of the first education at that time and 2) describe how these educational attitudes will eventually yield meta- educational values. What T'oegye meant by fundamental structure of the first education was that Sijos originated from his own experience should be the vital part of teaching method. One can say that T'oegye's teaching method is more integrative than that of modern literature education in that it includes songs. Not only using his own teaching method, but T'oegye tried to demonstrate his own literary structure to his colleagues and the future generations. In the end, Meta-Education which comprises the heart of recent educational theories well reflects Toegye's theoretical propositions. Rather than giving practical knowledge, his method offers the paradigms of thought patterns and shows the learners' attitudes in approaching the truth. Moreover, T'oegye's teaching method has become a good example to the future generations as well as his contemporary followers. In sum, although a lot of years have passed since he died, T'oegye's Sijo works and life still have invaluable impact on the field of education.
