Into the book
I came across a weed that grows without fail wherever there is plenty of sunlight and a gentle breeze.
The weed only grows in places that meet the conditions of a good site, and disappears as soon as you leave that place.
If we find this plant in the apartment we live in, it is already a good place.
--- From the "Preface"
If garbage collection is delayed by even a few days, a foul odor develops and mayflies and mosquitoes become a nuisance.
Even if one tree is cut down, the wind changes and the movement of birds becomes special.
Being alive is characterized by subtlety.
Feng Shui sees the earth as alive by reflecting the phenomena caused by subtle changes in the environment.
--- p.57
When I studied feng shui, I always felt hopeless about the future of humanity.
We thought that the environment would become increasingly worse and more destructive, that the cities we live in would become filled with pollution, and that the life expectancy of city dwellers would be greatly shortened.
But now is the time when we can experience nature in abundance even in the city.
… Having encountered trees so often, I have abandoned the pessimism I once had.
--- p.73
Because the buds of the dandelion sprout in the fall, the dandelion in early autumn with new leaves is the prettiest.
People feel lonely when they see the leaves falling in autumn.
If it were widely known that there are wild plants that begin their lives in the fall, like the dandelion, it would make it easier to endure winter and wait for spring.

Publisher's Review
Find the real estate agent 'Jichinggae'
If there's a place where I live that's auspicious, it's definitely there... A Utopia in the City Guided by Weeds
A weed that only grows in auspicious places, jijigae
Is the place I live in a geomantic spot? If you're curious, look for the weed called "jichingae" around your house.
Because the place where the dog grows is a lucky place.
The author, who studied feng shui for over 20 years and observed wild grasses for 6 years, detected subtle changes in the environment and discovered 'jichingae', which grows only in land that he identified as auspicious.
This is a 'good site indicator plant' that was found all over the country, including major areas in Seoul such as Gangnam, Yeouido, Bukchon, and Yongsan, temple sites in the southern region, and fields in Jeju Island, based on verified literature such as 『Juja's Natural Studies』 and 『Balmiron』 that deal with feng shui from a natural scientific perspective.
Weeds are commonly thought to grow anywhere, but this is not true.
It sprouts where and when it wants.
The squirrel also appears every September in sunny and well-ventilated places.
Now is the perfect season to find a good location through geomancy.
Weeds and a good site, it seems like an odd combination, but the weed-calling dog is known as a good site real estate agent.
The book features 47 photos of famous spots taken by the author himself, along with detailed illustrations of weeds, unfolding the story of weeds searching for famous spots in the city like a walking trail.
Feng Shui as a game, not a grave digging
This book transforms the superstitious Feng Shui into a 'game' that anyone can enjoy.
The author, who has studied feng shui for a long time, felt that there was a problem with feng shui in the capitalist era, where feng shui experts who know good grave sites and real estate are deified.
To break away from conventional feng shui, I studied various fields such as ecology, climatology, and physical geography, and explored auspicious sites both domestically and internationally.
And this book contains everything about the newly created Feng Shui, the 'game of finding a good site', based on data accumulated over the past 30 years.
The author corrects misunderstandings about feng shui by examining actual cases of grave exhumation from the Joseon Dynasty, starting with the recent hit movie “The Exhumed Grave.”
In particular, the hidden stories of King Sejong, Heungseon Daewongun, and Yi Ik, who brought about a whirlwind of change in Joseon, make us look at feng shui, which used to be considered boring, in an interesting way.
They play the 'city fortune-telling game' using a simple fortune-telling model that diagrams the shape of the land, distance from mountains and rivers, and energy, and then they start the 'place-finding game' saying that there is a more fun and easier way.
If you follow the author's journal and photos every time you spot a Jijigae in places like Yeouido Park, Yeongdeungpo-gu apartments, and Changdeokgung Palace, you can enjoy the fun of finding a good spot, as if you were playing a treasure hunt.
This play shines on the field.
When you close the book cover and go outside, you find yourself looking at the weeds growing on the roadside.
To help readers identify the dandelion, we have described in detail all information related to the dandelion, including the shape of its leaves and flowers, growth period, growing conditions, and where it was found, as well as information on weeds that can be confused with the dandelion.
A land where thistles, dandelions, shepherd's purse, and even dandelions grow together
What do we consider a prime location in a city? Most people probably think of a place with beautiful scenery, well-equipped facilities, and convenient transportation.
The city's best spots that Jijigae found are green spaces in the city where grass and trees grow naturally.
You won't see a stray dog in a windy, forest of buildings or in an artificially cultivated roadside garden, which is clean and free of weeds or bugs.
No matter how good a geomantic site a weeded area is, it cannot become a geomantic site.
This is because in a place without plants, it is difficult to feel comfortable and pleasant, which are the main conditions for a good site.
The author shares in depth the emotions he felt in his life with plants thanks to the dog.
No matter how good a place you live in, if you are only consumed by inner worries and pain, it is not a good place.
You can find a good spot when you have the time to look around and notice the typists.
Let us follow the path of this book, memorizing the faces of the six oak brothers and looking at the thistles, dandelions, shepherd's purse, and dandelions that resemble the dandelion.
On the journey to find the designated dog, the colorless landscape that we passed by without a second thought may turn into a land of life community and a beautiful urban mecca.
