명리학의 격국(格局) 해설서라 불리는 심효첨의 『자평진전(子平眞詮)』의 간명 방법은 격국(格局)을 선정하고 격(格)의 길흉을 구분하여 순역(順逆)의 원리에 따라 상신(相神)을 설정한다. 이때 월지(月支)의 지장간(地藏干)이 두 개 이상 투간(透干)하여 여러 격을 이루게 되어 겸격(兼格)이 되는 경우 격의 주체를 최종적으로 알고 있어야만 상신(相神)을 설정하고 격의 성패(成敗)를 판단할 수 있다. 하지만 『자평진전』에서는 겸격의 구조와 의미만을 설명하였고 겸격의 최종 주체를 결정하는 방법은 기술되지 않았다. 본 연구자는 겸격의 주체를 선정하는 연구를 위해 각종 문헌을 고찰했고 여러 가지 겸격의 실제 사례를 월령과 격국으로 나누어 비교 분석하여 월지와 회합(會合)한 지지(地支)의 종류, 월지의 지장간(地藏干)에서 투간된 천간의 기세(氣勢)와 일간(日干)의 강약(强弱)에 관련되었다는 공통된 결과를 도출했고 그 법칙을 주관적으로 정리했다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 겸격의 혼란을 줄일 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the symbolic meaning of the Tiger in Korean Folk Paintings, Minhwa, (hereafter, Minhwa) connected to its social contexts in Joseon period. Thinking of the Tiger Minhwa as a 'visual language' and regard the Tiger as a 'visual signifier' as well as the united-signifiers such as a Korean magpie, pine tree and so on in Minhwa. This research is to analyze these signifieds, 'Signified', what we say in this paper, have composed its symbolic meaning related to the social 'ideological complexes' and collective consciousness during Joseon period. In a word, the characteristic of the Tiger signifier has changed and spread out from the ideal trend to a worldly one. Since the late Joseon period, the change of the social contexts was, because of the civil classes who recognized the limitation of the Sung Confucianism(the doctrines of $Chi-Tz\={u}$), the predominated ideology of that time. To get rid of their uneasiness, they brought the Shamanism, Taoism and Buddhism at the front which were usually the lower class ideology or belief and tried to construct the collective consciousness and safety of their real lives. Therefore, the trend of this 'common conceptualization' show us the positiveness and flexibility to the Tiger signifier through the variation, appropriation and producing signifier. Moreover, even to the same Tiger, there were various meanings and most of them were concentrated in the meanings as follows ; Beoksa(in Korean term is to drive away evil spirits) and Gilsang, which is the good omen of a luck. All these were based on the value of 'this world'. In conclusion, through this research, the concept of the Tiger as a apotheosis has lowered its statutes and being secularized.
