Dool Kim Yong-ok's reading of 'jeong' (貞) in the Juyeok: textual restoration or overly radical translation?
AI 3-line summary
- Professor Dool Kim Yong-ok has interpreted 貞 in the Juyeok as 'to divine' rather than 'to be upright', and the debate over whether this reading is valid continues.
- The interpretation draws on research into oracle bone, bronze and excavated texts, but critics point out that it results in the awkward sense of asking the diviner to divine again within the same divination statement.
- The article proposes reading 貞 in layers according to period and context, as 'to ask by divination', 'to keep to what has been settled', or 'upright and straight'.
