Hwanung (Korean for the "Supreme Divine Regent") is an important figure in the mythological origins of Korea. He plays a central role in the story of Dangun Wanggeom (단군왕검/檀君王儉), the legendary founder of Gojoseon, the first kingdom of Korea. Hwanung is the son of Hwanin (환인; 桓因), the "Lord of Heaven". Along with his ministers of clouds, rain, and wind, he instituted laws and moral codes and taught the humans various arts, medicine, and agriculture.
According to the Dangun creation myth, Hwanung yearned to live on the earth among the valleys and the mountains. Hwanin permitted Hwanung and 3000 followers to depart and they descended from heaven to a sandalwood tree on Baekdu Mountain, then called Taebaek Mountain (태백산/太伯山). There Hwanung founded Sinsi (신시/神市, "City of God") and gave himself the title Heaven King. In a cave near the sandalwood tree lived a bear and a tiger who came to the tree every day to pray to Hwanung. One day Hwanung gave the bear and the tiger twenty bulbs of garlic and some divine mugwort. Hwanung promised if they ate only his garlic and mugwort and stayed in the cave out of the sunlight for one hundred days he would make them human.[1]
The tiger and the bear agreed and went back to the cave, but tiger was too hungry and impatient to wait, leaving the cave before the 100 days were done. But the bear remained, and on the 21st day was transformed into a beautiful woman, who gratefully honored Hwanung with offerings. With time the woman grew lonely, and prayed to Hwanung that she might have a child. So Hwanung made her his wife and gave her a son called Dangun, a name which has two meanings: "Altar Prince" and sandalwood. Dangun eventually founded Gojoseon.[2]
Dangun was the first shaman, intermediary between mankind and Haneullim, to whom he worshipped and prayed on the behalf of his people.[8] The importance of the worship of ancestors and gods reside in their being the mean of communion with the supreme God, Haneullim.[8] According to some scholars, the name Dangun is related to the Siberian Tengri ("Heaven"),[9] while the bear is a symbol of the Big Dipper (i.e. Ursa Major), itself a symbol of the supreme God in many Eurasian cultures, including Chinese theological thought.[10] Later in the myth, Dangun becomes the Sansin, the "Mountain God" (metaphorically of civilising growth, prosperity).[11]
The two appear in the myth of Dangun who is known as the legendary founder of Korea. A tiger represents an adventurous and very courageous character in the myth, whereas a bear is seen to have patience and perseverance. Those characteristics are the main spirit for the Olympic athletes.
When the White Tiger roars, his black stripes in the ink wash painting spread onto the stage, and they transform into the Baekdudaegan mountain range, which begins at Mount Baekdu, the very backbone of the land of Korea.Heaven, Earth, and Human. The five children meet the Four Guardians along with different animals and plants from land and water: deer, wild boars, flowers, butterflies, pine trees, seaweed, schools of fish, crows, magpies, and others. The children become a part of this wonderful natural scene, and they watch Goguryeo women in the mural dancing next to a cow pulling a cart of fire.The Vision of Peace in the SkyHalf-man and half-bird, the mediator between the heavens and earth enters the stage with the phoenix, the legendary bird of peace. The five children walk towards the heavenly altar with Ung-nyeo. The festival for everyone and every living thing begins, and this image is portrayed in the sky as Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido (The Chart of the Constellations and the Regions).
The Half-man and Half-bird, and the Phoenix
The Goguryeo Murals include a picture of a bird with the face of a man, and this figure is also found on the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje. The phoenix is a mythical animal, a bird that lives a thousand years and flies between heaven and earth. Koreans believed that the phoenix would appear only during a peaceful time.
In the middle of the land, a heavenly altar rises to join heaven and earth, and Ung-nyeo, a character from the creation myth of Korea, enters the stage and prays for peace. With heaven and nature in communion with people, everything in the Stadium becomes connected by light, and the light becomes Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido (The Chart of the Constellations and the Regions) in the sky.Page 12- Official 2018 Olympics Media Guide

-The "shaft" of Geb linking earth to sky is pointed at the navel "north pole" of nut:
135 We will only note here that Geb's axial phallus is “aimed” not at Nut's genitals, but at her navel, suggesting that this particular viridis candela is representative of the equatorial axis, centered on or near the pole star Thuban (in the era in which the papyrus was made), rather than the ecliptic axis, centered in the constellation Draco, with Thuban falling in the dragon's tail in most representations.

It seems very probable that the legendary account of Hiko-hoho-demi no Mikoto and his visit to the Dragon Palace was all a metaphor, symbolizing an initiatory rite that had a lot to do with intercourse with the energies of the Pole star and the Big Dipper. Professor Johnson continues:
“To the ancient Daoists, the Northern Dipper was a celestial bridge that existed between Heaven and Earth. It was the path of celestial travel, the gateway to the Underworld, and the field of creative transformation.The sorcerer could therefore ascend into theNine Heavens and deliver petitions
