Dongti (Hangul: 동티), also known as Dongto (Hangul: 동토, Hanja: 動土) or Shinbeol (Hangul: 신벌, Hanja: 神罰, literally ''Punishment of the Gods'') is the term for Divine punishment in Korean mythology. == Causes == Dongti are said to be caused by shamanistic deities, including village patrons. For example, in one myth, a man used Jangseung, or totem poles, for fuel, foolishly believing that the Jangseung would not avenge him. Because the man received the rage of the Jangseung, or Dongti, he quickly died from an assortment of deadly diseases.〔''Sky-Colored Korean Mythology'', Yi Kyeong Deok〕 Similar myths tell of how people who toppled the village altars, the Seonangdang, suddenly fell sick and died due to Dongti caused by the village patrons, the Seonangshin.〔http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=560224&mobile&categoryId=1627〕 There are also myths about the holy trees, the Shinmok or Dangsu Namu, causing fatal disease.〔http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=544589&mobile&categoryId=1627〕 The Gashin, or household deities, can also cause Dongti. When the objects the Gashin embody (such as the Seongju Hangari of the Seongjushin, Cheollyung Hangari of the Cheollyungshin, Jowang Geurut of the Jowangshin, Jeseok Ogari and Mom Ogari of the ancestor gods) are shattered, when the animals (generally toads, weasels, or rat snakes) that the goddess Eobshin embodies are killed, or when someone digs on the earth that Teojushin embodies without an appeasing ritual, the person who is blasphemous gets Dongti, mostly by disease and/or great misfortune. The goddess of the pit toilet, Cheukshin, is one of the best-known causers of Dongti; when her long hair touches a human who has not coughed thrice before entering the Outhouse, the human gets an incurable sickness and dies. This is a reference to many pathogens spreading via feces.〔http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=530017&mobile&categoryId=1627〕 Gwishin, or evil spirits, are also said to cause Dongti when the protection of the village or household patrons falter.〔http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=1169647&mobile&categoryId=200000075〕 Most of the disease described as Dongti were probably just normal disease strengthened by the Nocebo effect. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dongti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
