Fig. 6

This painting depicts the character of Sikchi, which is a mutual relationship that regulates and maintains the health of our body through food. Sikchi has developed with a close mutual relationship between health factors of oriental medicine and national and social factors. In particular, Korean sikchi contains the emotional realm of sincerity, and a representative example is royal sikchi, and the Ilwolobongdo (日月五峯圖) is a symbol of wishing for the king's health and prosperity, and has a close relationship with sikchi. *Photographs were taken by the author with permission from Changgyeonggung Palace and National Palace Museum of Korea
