AB - Human attitudes toward nature are well reflected in some geomancy tales in Korea. This paper analyzed and explained four Korean geomancy tales-The Legend of Song Siyŏl’s grave in a geomantic landscape suggestive of an army general’s commanding posture, The Legend of the geomantic beehive landscape, The Legend of the progenitor of the Sŏ family from Talsŏng, The Legend of Queen Sim who was born after the making of a grave at an auspicious site. In the first two legends people function as natural elements in order to make up the shortcomings of a geomantic landscape. In the remaining two stories people’s charitable deeds towards nature were treated as if they were actually charitable deeds towards human beings. Regarding (1) nature as an extension of humanity and (2) human beings as an integral part of nature is a particular aspect of traditional Korean attitudes toward nature.
