Before the start of the North Borneo Company administration in North Borneo (now Sabah, Malaysia) in 1882, the Timugon Murut of today's interior Tenom District lived in longhouses, and practiced head-hunting during wars with other Murutic ethnic groups. Their economy revolved around swidden agriculture of hill rice, sago, and cassava. Wet rice cultivation and water buffaloes were introduced just before 1885. Wet rice was planted on the alluvial plains around the Pegalan and Padas Rivers, while dry rice was planted on hillside swiddens that had been cleared by slash-and-burn methods. Today, wet rice cultivation and cash-cropping on the plains are the main Timugon socioeconomic activities, while some families also plant dry rice on the hills as a back-up. The Timugon believe that the physical world is surrounded by the spiritual world, and everything was made by the creator Aki Kapuuno'. The focus of this field research paper is on the beliefs and ritual practices of the Timugon connected to their traditional rice agriculture. This study found that for generations, the Timugon believed that since animals were created by Aki Kapuuno' for the wellbeing of humans, various types of animals and birds convey omens to guide people. Thus, the older Timugon rice cultivation is strongly influenced by good and bad omens and taboos, and also involves symbolic practices and ritual offerings to guardian spirits of the rice. After the 1930s and especially since the 1960s, most Timugon became Roman Catholic Christians. Hence, this paper also examines changes in the traditional Timugon rice cultivation related beliefs and practices due to religious conversion and other factors.

Colors change in time corresponding with the value system and aesthetic consciousness of the time. The roles that colors play in painting can be divided into the formative role based on the contrast and harmony of color planes and the aesthetic role expressed by colors to represent the objects. The aesthetic consciousness of the orient starts with the Civility(禮) and Pleasure(樂), which is closely related with restrained or tempered human feelings. In the art world of the orient including poem, painting, and music, what are seen and felt from the objects are not represented in all. Added by the sentiment laid background, the beauty of the orient emphasizes the beauty of restraint and temperance, which has long been the essential aesthetic emotion of the orient. From the very inception of oriental painting, colors had become a symbolic system in which the five colors associated with the philosophy of Yin and Yang and Five Forces were symbolically connected with the four sacred animals of Red Peacock, Black Turtle, Blue Dragon, and White Tiger. In this color system the use of colors was not free from ideological matters, and was further constrained by the limited color production and distribution. Therefore, development in color expression seemed to have been very much limited because of the unavailability and unreadiness of various colors. Studies into the flow in oriental painting show that color expression in oriental painting have changed from symbolic color expression to poetic expression, and then to emotional color expression as the mode of painting changes in time. As oriental painting transformed from the art of religious or ceremonial purpose to one of appreciation, the mast visible change in color expression is the one of realism(simulation). Rooted on the naturalistic color expression of the orient where the fundamental properties of objects were considered mast critical, this realistic color expression depicts the genuine color properties that the objects posses, with many examples in the Flower & Bird Painting prior to the North Sung dynasty. This realistic expression of colors changed as poetic sentiments were fused with painting in later years of the North Sung dynasty, in which a conversion to light ink and light coloring in the use of ink and colors was witnessed, and subjective emotion was intervened and represented. This mode of color expression had established as free and creative coloring with vivid expression of individuality. The fusion of coloring and lyricism was borrowed from the trend in painting after the North Sung dynasty which was mentioned earlier, and from the trend in which painting was fused with poetic sentiments to express the emotion of artists, accompanied with such features as light coloring and compositional change. Here, the lyricism refers to the artist's subjective perspective of the world and expression of it in refined words with certain rhythm, the essence of which is the integration of the artist's ego and the world. The poetic ego projects the emotion and sentiment toward the external objects or assimilates them in order to express the emotion and sentiment of one's own ego in depth and most efficiently. This is closely related with the rationale behind the long-standing tradition of continuous representation of same objects in oriental painting from ancient times to contemporary days. According to the thoughts of the orient, nature was not just an object of expression, but recognized as a personified body, to which the artist projects his or her emotions. The result is the rebirth of meaning in painting, completely different from what the same objects previously represented. This process helps achieve the integration and unity between the objects and the ego. Therefore, this paper discussed the lyrical expression of colors in the works of the author, drawing upon the poetic expression method reflected in the traditional Flower and Bird Painting, one of the painting modes mainly depending on color expression. Based on the related discussion and analysis, it was possible to identify the deep thoughts and the distinctive expression methods of the orient and to address the significance to prioritize the issue of transmission and development of these precious traditions, which will constitute the main identity of the author's future work.

안평대군(1416-1453)의 비해당 원림을 대상으로 집현전 학사들이 차운한 연작시 '비해당사십팔영'의 경관 어휘소를 분석하여 조선 전기 사대부정원에 담긴 의미경관 및 정원문화를 해석한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 안평대군이 인왕산 기슭에 비해당 원림을 가꾸면서 제영한 '사십팔영'의 소표제는 동식물의 태생과 형태, 시간과 공간, 그리고 의미와 상징성 등을 음양의 접합과 같이 대비적으로 연작하는 규범성을 보여주고 있으며, 경물 중 38개는 식물소재를, 8개는 점경물과 동물을 대상으로 하고 있다. 둘째, 정원 명칭을 원림(園林), 정제(庭除), 임천(林泉), 화원(花園)등으로, 뜰의 밀도와 위치에 따라 공정(空庭)과 만원(滿園), 중정(中庭)과 후원(後園), 원락(院落: 안뜰)과 별원(別院) 등으로 세분하여 표현하고 있다. 한편, 누정과 수경시설은 물론 디딤돌과 계단, 그늘시렁, 평상, 화분, 석가산, 괴석, 우물, 롱(籠)(새장), 꽃밭(오(塢)), 생울타리 등이 작정 소재로 다양하게 도입되고 있으며, 뜰 관리자를 사화(司花), 정원수 심기와 가꾸기를 재배(栽培), 연못 속 섬을 부구(浮丘), 축소 경관을 조성하는 축지(縮地) 등의 명칭을 사용하였다. 셋째, 바깥뜰에는 버드나무를 심었고, 서재 앞에 매화를 심어 대나무숲길로 이어지게 했으며, 화원을 만들어 작약, 동백, 모란, 배롱나무 등을 심었다. 점경물로는 이끼 낀 괴석, 작은 석가산, 유리석과 화분을 두었고, 장방형 연못을 조성했으며, 뜰에는 사슴, 꽃 비둘기, 금계, 학 등을 사육했다. 넷째, 경물을 상징화하여 (1) 군자와 절개, (2) 부귀영화, (3) 신선 풍류, (4) 은일과 은둔, (5) 기타 효행과 덕, 성찰 등 의미경관을 취했다. 즉, 기화이초와 진금기수가 어우러진 원림을 조성하여 격물치지의 교훈, 은일과 은둔문화의 대입, 불로장생과 무릉도원을 염원하는 선경처의 구축 성향 등 의미경관 요소가 다양하게 표출되고 있다. 다섯째, 경관을 취하는 기법으로 앙경(仰景)과 부경(俯景) 그리고 저경(低景), 외부경관의 차경, 꽃을 그윽하게 바라보며 의미경관을 즐기고 (유경(幽景)), 꽃구경의 흥취를 돋우며 노닐 수 있는 요정(遼庭), 꽃가꾸기 취미인 화색향벽(花色香僻) 등이 발견되고, 사계절과 시간에 따라 감흥을 달리하며 즐기는 시어가 추출된다.
