【𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟐】𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 (5th class)

 As always, MC Jeonghae greeted us with a bright smile! She read the reviews from the last class and the most impressive comment was from Jaiwanti and Christine. Jaiwanti said that the similarities in western and eastern cultures made her realize how everyone’s roots are the same! Christine agrees that all of our cultures come from a common source but are changed as the time passes. 

Mr. Lee from the Philippines gave the lecture. We didn’t know that the Scripture of Heavenly Code was about math! This scripture greatly influenced the Hado and the 8 Trigrams which are drawn by the Great Bright Bok Hui or Fuxi. The Hado and 8 Trigrams are the basis of I Ching and also influenced the development of binary digits. 

The Scripture of Heavenly Code or Cheonbugyeong has 81 characters. The people of Hwanguk learned this scripture by heart and it was orally transmitted through generations until around 4000 BCE. Hyeokdeok, an official from the Baedal Period first wrote the Scripture using Nokdo characters (鹿圖文字). 

In 2000 BCE, during the Joseon Period, the Scripture was carved on stone on Mt. Myohyang in Seal Script. A renowned scholar from the Silla Dynasty, Choe Chi-Won (857-10th century) found the carvings and translated it into contemporary language.

Through this lecture, we learned how interconnected numbers and the universe are. Thank you for reading this review. Come join us for more events and interesting contents in the future!
