<p>Dear Frank,</p>
<p>for Guo Pu as far as I can see, the <span> 三敗日</span><span> </span> was an established fact and he is not the "source". And as the dates are also not mentioned in any of the texts I found, why start with 5, and why sequence of 9?</p>
<p>Daoist did not strike me as unusual in <span>Koryŏ, just as the mix of Buddhism and Daoism would not.</span></p>
<p><span>Questions still open. </span></p>
<p><span>By the way "influences" for Nahagraha is a bit too abstract for my taste, I prefer "influencers", meaning points in the cosmos exerting influences.</span></p>
<p><span>Keep searching your encyclopedic mind, please,</span></p>
<p><span>Best, Werner</span><br>

<div class="PlainText">Dear Werner,<br>
the 한국세시풍속사전 points us to Jin period Guo Pu 郭璞 (276-324) as a <br>
possible source (as mentioned in the 承政院日記) for the 三敗日 quote <br>
in your 備邊司謄錄. <br>
--> goo.gl/MvuL0Q<br>

<br>
That would then further point to Daoist mystics, rather than any <br>
Buddhist concepts.<br>
There seem to be a full translations out there of Guo Pu's remaining <br>
texts ... I see the 三敗日 phrase in an original, but not the <br>
'separated' days 5 - 14 - 23. Maybe, just speculating, if the original <br>
source in Korea was the Guo Pu text back during Koryŏ times, that may <br>
then have taken on its own Daoist mythology -- and given that Koryŏ was <br>
an all-Buddhist kingdom, the possibility that the Buddhist "Nine <br>
influences" (Nahagraha) you mentioned could well have played a role.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Frank<br>
