Is a 명당 (明堂) a great place to be buried?

 ANSWER: Yes!

From Dong-A's Prime Korean-English Dictionary

Apparently, according to oriental geomancy, the best place in which to be buried is in a place that looks like a woman's vagina, as the following map shows:

From "한자 오디세이"

The Chinese character that was used to represent a woman's vagina is (야). And the Chinese character for "a place where water gathers," or "a pond," is (지), suggesting that a vagina is similar to a pond. The character is an alternate form of (수), which means "water."
