The Koreans depicted the Sign and Symbol of
Heaven in a Square, and the Four Cardinal Points
or divisions of Heaven in four quarters. Barked
sticks— four sticks of equal length —form the
square, and four sticks of equal length the centre
arms. From the centre arm, the one representing
the East, they removed all the bark, so that it was
white ; from the one representing the West none
of the bark was removed. The one representing
the North had all removed but one piece in the
centre, and in the South the bark was removed
from the centre, leaving the bark at the two ends.
