The River Map and Luoshu are the sources of Chinese culture and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements magic. Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty believed that the River Map is the Bagua, and the Luoshu is the "Hongfan Jiuchu" in "Shangshu". Hetu and Luoshu were first recorded in Shangshu, followed by Yi Zhuan, and were recorded by hundreds of schools of thought. Tai Chi, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Nine Stars, Feng Shui, etc. can all be traced back to this point.
"Book of Changes·Xici" says: "The river produces pictures, the Luo produces books, and the sages follow them." The two books "Book of Changes" and "Hong Fan" have an important position in the history of Chinese cultural development and have had a profound impact in the fields of philosophy, politics, military science, ethics, aesthetics, and literature. As the source of Chinese history and culture, Hetu Luoshu has made an indispensable contribution.
Extended information:
He Tu and Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China. They have always been considered the origin of Heluo culture.
Hetu Luoshu is the source of Yin Yang and Five Elements magic. Hetu is the division of Bagua, which classifies the five elements, which is the body; while Luo Shu is the complex of the five elements, which is the system of nine palaces, which is the function. Hetu Luoshu was first recorded in Shangshu, followed by Yi Zhuan, and was recorded by many scholars. Tai Chi, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Nine Stars, Feng Shui, etc. can all be traced back to this point.
"He Tu" and "Luo Shu" were originally written 14,800 years ago. "River Map", also known as "Galaxy Wheel Map", was created by Koyoyelao, the great chief of the Bluebird tribe of the Sui people.
This diagram is composed of twenty graphic symbols symbolizing Yin and Yang. It has profound connotations and is recognized by the world's academic circles as a pioneer in many disciplines such as Yi studies, metaphysics, and Shu studies. "Luoshu" was created by Conoyelao, the chief of the Bearded Girl tribe of the Sui people, when he was observing the nine stars of the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper we see today is composed of seven stars. One is Tianshu, the second is Tianxuan, the third is Tianji, the fourth is Tianquan, the fifth is Yuheng, the sixth is Kaiyang, and the seventh is Yao Light, so it is called the Big Dipper. In ancient times, there were nine stars in the Big Dipper. In addition to the seven stars above, there were also two stars, "Swagger" and "Genghe" in the constellation Bo?tes.
After Fuxi obtained "He Tu" and "Luo Shu", he studied hard and gained a deep understanding. So he observed astronomy and geography, explored the laws of the movement of heaven and earth, observed the changes in the activities of birds and animals, and used the shapes of himself and all things in nature as symbols to create the "Bagua", namely Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui. Fuxi used Bagua to communicate with the virtues of the gods and summarize the conditions of all things in the world.
As early as the seventeenth century, the great German mathematician Leibniz founded the "Chinese Academy" to study Bagua, and based on Bagua's "two rituals, four images, Bagua, sixteen, and thirty-two, Sixty-Four Hexagrams", invented binary notation and advanced local European computers.
The "binary method" contained in Bagua is now widely used in biology and electronics. In 1984 AD, a European scientist talked about the Yili of Bagua, which is widely known in modern times.
