Literal meaning of Chon-ji is "Heaven and Earth," which in the orient
symbolizes the creation of the world and the beginning of human history.
Chon-ji, "heavenly" lake, is also the name given a large crater lake on
Paektu Mountain, an extinct volcano said to have been the first residence of
the legendary founder of Korea, Dan-Gun. According to the first book of the
classic I Ching, which explains all processes of growth and change in the
natural world, life is based on a changing changelessness in which all
aspects of reality possess the elements of their opposites. According to
ancient philosophers, the universe came into being through the interaction of
two opposing elements, which, when combined, formed the basic elements
of all matter in the universe. The philosophers conceived that nothing in life
is permanent, yet nothing is destroyed.
Chon-ji is appropriately named because creation is the starting point of all
things and this pattern establishes a foundation the remaining patterns. The
pattern consists of two similar parts: one part representing heaven and the
other earth. Stances and techniques in this pattern comprise the basic
movements required for mastery of all 24 patterns.
