The Relationship between Heluo Book and Scripture without Words

? River Map and Luo Shu are the sources of China culture. The Book of Changes says, "Rivers paint, Luo writes, and sages write." This saint is Fuxi, the ancestor of human culture. Legend has it that in Fu, a dragon horse appeared from the Yellow River, carrying a "river map"; A turtle appeared from Luoshui, carrying "Luoshu". Fuxi drew eight diagrams according to this kind of "picture" and "book". Later, Zhou Wenwang studied the written king eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams according to Fuxi's eight diagrams, and wrote them into eight diagrams respectively.

? He Tu and Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China, which have always been regarded as the origin of Heluo culture.

Origin and evolution

Evolution and present situation

? He Tu and Luo Shu are the source of China culture, and they are the five elements of Yin and Yang. Confucian scholars in the Han dynasty thought that the river map was gossip, while Luo Shu was the nine realms of Hongfan in Shangshu. He Tu and Luo Shu first appeared in Shangshu, and then hundred schools of thought appeared in Yi Zhuan. Tai Chi, Eight Diagrams, Zhouyi, Liu Jia, nine planets, Feng Shui and so on can all be traced back to this point.

? There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "Rivers draw pictures, Luo writes books, and saints write them." The Book of Changes and Hong Fan play an important role in the history of China's cultural development, and have far-reaching influence on philosophy, politics, military science, ethics, aesthetics and literature. As the source of China's history and culture, Hetuluo's works have contributed a lot.

Trace the origin

Zhouyi originated from Fuxi Bagua, which in turn originated from He Tu and Luo Shu. Zhu, a great philosopher in the Song Dynasty, juxtaposed "River Map" and "Luo Shu" for the first time in the book The Original Meaning of Zhouyi, and put his map in the first place, with nine as the river map and ten as the Luo Shu. Scholars in later generations think that Zhu's "River Map" and "Luo Shu" originated from Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu introduced the old and brought forth the new. Zhu briefly described the development process of River Map and Luo Shu, saying: "The images of books began in Kong Anguo, Liu Xin and Wei Guanlangzi in the Han Dynasty, and were called by Mr. Song and Mr. Shao Yongyao in the Ming Dynasty. They changed their names in Liu Mu, but because of them, many scholars restored them today and learned from their old names. " Zhu said so, but in the Qing Dynasty, scholars such as Huang Zongxi and Hu Weiwei raised objections to Song Ru's River Map and Luo Shu. Since then, "river map" and "Luo Shu" have become a long-standing mystery in academic circles.

Tracing the Origin of "River Map" and "Luoshu"

? What were the original shapes of "River Map" and "Luoshu"? At the turn of the century, it is difficult for people to find the truth today, but from some historical records, its roots are very old. In the early days of mankind, saints imitated and carved on turtle backs and animal bones according to some characteristics of natural images, which served as a warning to human survival as experience. Because it is accumulated by experience, it is often more effective, and to a certain extent, it can make people turn everything into luck, and later it is gradually regarded as a blessing of the gods. We have unearthed a large number of Oracle bones in Shang Dynasty, most of which are carved on tortoise backs and animal bones, and the contents are mostly Oracle bones, which can be determined. China's distant ancestors worshipped turtles and dragons, which is often recorded in ancient myths and pre-Qin classics handed down. For example, "Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour" wrote: "There are ghosts in southern Chu, and 500 years old is spring and 500 years old is autumn." Most scholars here think that "ghosts" refer to turtles. Turtles are mentioned more than once in Zhuangzi, which is also related to longevity and good luck. Tortoise, dragon, snake, deer, bear, scorpion, raccoon, raccoon, raccoon? Tigers and some birds, such as swallows, may be the totem worship of the ancestors of different tribes in the early days, and they are the symbols of different tribal peoples. Sima Qian recorded in Records of the Five Emperors: "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes of the mausoleum, and the princes returned to Xuanyuan with salt. Xuan Ape is an inspirational soldier of Xiu De, who governs five qi and five arts, caresses ten thousand people and spreads them everywhere. Teach bears, donkeys, donkeys and raccoons. Tiger, in order to fight Emperor Yan in the wild of Hanquan, and then win his ambition in three wars. " This is a great battle between Emperor Yan and Huangdi in the history of China for the Central Plains in Hanquan. This war is fierce and cruel. The new book "One Farmer" called the battlefield at that time "bloodshed", which was somewhat exaggerated, but it can show that the war at that time was really fierce. In this war, the Yellow Emperor was able to drive away bears, pigs and other beasts to participate in the war, adding magical colors to this war. These beasts were actually the totem worship of some tribes at that time, and different tribes followed the Yellow Emperor to participate in the battle with their own distinctive national symbols. The battle of Hanquan ended with the victory of the Yellow Emperor, which led to the integration of Yanhuang tribes, and the Chinese nation was formally formed and developed into a major part of the Chinese nation. Huangdi tribe is a tribe marked by dragons. Therefore, context has become a symbol of the Chinese nation. The myth of "the Battle of Hanquan" is actually a record and explanation of the historical event of the Yanhuang tribal war at that time.

? The schema of Hutuluo reflects China people's worship of numbers and their view of time and space.

? Numbers are one of the earliest signs that human beings broke away from the animal kingdom and became human beings. The appearance of numbers makes human beings realize their wisdom and cleverness, which lays the foundation for the further development of wisdom. Philolaus, a thinker of the Pythagorean school in ancient Greece, once said a famous saying: "Quantity, omnipotence and perfection are the power of numbers, the beginning and master of human life, and the participants in everything. Without numbers, everything is chaotic and dark. " Therefore, ancient people worshipped numbers very much from the beginning, which was the common feature of all nationalities in the world at the beginning of cultural enlightenment. China's ancient ancestors' worship of numbers has rich cultural connotations, which can be said to show their knowledge of astronomy, geography, human relations, philosophy, art, primitive religion and daily life. It is not difficult to understand this point from the schema understanding of the ancient book "Hutuluo Shu" by Song people.

? The digital worship of ancient Chinese ancestors is mainly manifested in the worship of ten basic numbers from one to ten and some numbers derived from the basic numbers after ten. Some numbers after 10 are like 12 generated by multiplication of two, two and three, 24 generated by multiplication of two, three and four, 36 generated by 28,66, 49,88 generated by 77, 64,99 generated by 8 1,/kloc. In the cultural concept of ancient people in China, the ten basic numbers from one to ten have not only mathematical significance, but also aesthetic significance, auspicious significance, world outlook and cosmology significance. Every basic number is a perfect number, a lucky number, an ideal number, and a great wisdom number, all of which have infinite meanings in detail.

Hetu, Luoshu and the Origin of Eight Diagrams

? For thousands of years, people have always associated Hutu and Luoshu with Fuxi, Bagua and Zhouyi, and Zhu even put Hutu Luoshu at the top of Yijing, which is highly praised. Most scholars in ancient China believed that Fuxi was inspired by the river map to create the Eight Diagrams, and the Book of Changes originated from Fuxi's Eight Diagrams. What about gossip?

? From today's perspective, gossip is just some divination symbols composed of long lines and short lines. So, who first invented these symbols? History books often claim that Fuxi invented gossip. As for Fuxi's gossip, the Book of Changes under Cohesion has a detailed record: "The ancient kings in the world, including the xi family, looked up at the images in the sky. When they look down, they see the laws on the earth. They read articles on birds and beasts, and took all the ones that were suitable for the earth, far and near, so they began to gossip. In order to understand the virtues of the gods and the feelings of all things. Make a rope to make a net, use it to fish and cover it. " At that time, Fuxi often stood on the slope near the Yellow River, watching the rapids and eddies formed at the intersection of the Yellow River and Luoshui. The river showed a painting, Luo Shu published a book, the rosy clouds in the sky and the loess on the ground all caused him to think. Why is the sky blue and the ground yellow? What is the relationship between heaven and earth and people, flowers, insects and fish? After long thinking, he combined 12 long lines and 24 short lines into 8 patterns. These patterns composed of lines of different lengths are gossip. Fu also used ropes as traps to fish and hunt. This is probably inspired by Li's good at attaching images. Liu Xin, a scholar in the Han Dynasty, also said in Records of the Five Elements of Han Dynasty: "Fu is the queen of heaven, influenced by the river map, so it is gossip." Many scholars in the Han Dynasty believed that Fuxi's creation of Eight Diagrams was inspired by letters from Hetuluo. For example, Confucius' Book of Changes Justice said that "Fuxi's River Map must be checked up and down to be correct, and then the hexagrams should be drawn." [4] Zhu, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, not only thought that "The Book of Hutuluo" was given by Heluo Tortoise and Dragon and painted by saints, but also put the schema of "The Book of Hutuluo" in front. Wang Shenzi, a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, also said in his book On the Great Changes: "The changes of Fuxi originated from the river map. In the river map, there are five places and ten places, and Tai Chi is also." At least since the Han Dynasty, most scholars have admitted that the river map existed before Fuxi era, and saints founded the Eight Diagrams accordingly. As a result, people have closely linked Confused Luo Shu with gossip, gossip and the Book of Changes. Why? This is mainly because gossip originated from Hutuluo.

? Related legends

? According to legend, in ancient Fuxi, the dragon horse appeared from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, bringing a "river map" to Fuxi. Based on this, Fuxi became a gossip and later became the source of Zhouyi.

? Another legend is that when Yu was in Dayu, a turtle emerged from Luohe in Silonen County, Luoyang, carrying a "Luoshu" on his back and gave it to Yu. Dayu succeeded in harnessing water on this basis, so he decided that the world was Kyushu. Based on this, nine chapters of Dafa were established to govern society, which was circulated in history books and named Hong Fan. The Book of Changes says, "Rivers paint, Luo writes and sages write", which refers to these two things.

? Content refinement

? Huturo expressed a kind of mathematical thought. As long as we analyze it carefully, we can know that digitalization and symmetry are the most direct and basic characteristics of books, and the mathematical relationship between "harmony" and "difference" is its basic connotation. It is completely possible to prove or deduce the river map and Luo Shu by mathematical methods, and prove that the river map and Luo Shu come from the same source. It can also be found that there is a certain degree of connection between river map, Luo Shu, abacus and swastika.

? River map and Luoshu are two pictures with black spots or white spots as the basic elements, which form several different combinations in a certain way and are arranged in a matrix as a whole, as shown in the figure.

? The most famous source of Hetu and Luoshu comes from the sentence "River out of the picture, Luo out of the book, sage out" in Yi Zhuan Jie. Based on this, it is considered that gossip comes from these two pictures, which has become one of the important topics in the study of Yi ology. Because all previous dynasties thought that "the dragon and the horse were defeated by the body and the turtle was defeated by the back", it has been cloaked in mystery for hundreds of years and is recognized as the eternal mystery of the source of Chinese culture.

? When we examine and sort out the historical traces of the river map and Luo Shu, we will find some consensus:

-He Tu and Luo Shu are recorded in ancient books of pre-Qin and Western Han dynasties. "Shangshu Gu Ming" said that "Dayu, Yuyi, Celestial Sphere and River Map are in the east sequence"; "The Analects of Confucius Zi Han" said: "Confucius said: If the phoenix bird does not arrive, Jiang does not draw pictures, and I have lost my husband!" ; "Guanzi Chen Xiao" said: "In the past, the people were appointed by the dragon turtle, and the river made a picture, Luo made a book, and the land made yellow. There is no one in Sanxiang today. " Later, it was mentioned many times in the works of Liu Xin, Kong Anguo, Yang Xiong and Ban Gu in the Han Dynasty.

? As for what He Tu and Luo Shu look like, there is no clear statement in each book.

? -He Tu and Luo Shu were discovered in the early Song Dynasty. They originated from Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in Huashan Mountain in Song Dynasty. His schema is called "Long Tu Yi", and Song Wenjian wrote the article "Preface to Long Tu", which talks about the three changes of Long Tu, that is, one becomes the number of heaven and earth that are not combined, the other becomes the number of heaven and earth that have been combined, and the third becomes the shape of a negative map of dragon and horse. Finally, two schemata were formed: River Map and Luoshu. However, after the Three Changes of Longtu, Chen Tuan did not mention the names of Hetu and Luoshu. Liu Mu, a scholar of Yi Studies in the Northern Song Dynasty, named these two pictures for the first time. He studied the book "Long Tu Yi" from Chen Tuan and wrote "Yi Shu Gou Yin Tu", so the book "He Tu Luo" is known to the world. At that time, there was a debate about whether to adopt "Figure 10, Book 9" or "Figure 9, Book 10", and it was finally decided on Figure 10, Book 9, which has continued to this day. Elephant mathematicians in the Song Dynasty believed that the Eight Diagrams originated from two schemata: River Map and Luoshu, thus forming a school to explain the origin of Eight Diagrams with River Map and Luoshu in the history of Yi Studies.

-Luo Shu is exactly the same as the Nine Rooms in Tang Ming recorded in The Great Wear of Li Ji in the early Han Dynasty, and the Nine Rooms recorded in Ganchidu in the late Western Han Dynasty. Tang Ming appeared at the end of primitive society. It is a building with ritual and sacrificial functions in ancient Chinese social life, and it has been highly valued by rulers of past dynasties.

? In a word, from the existing historical data, the sources of Hetu and Luoshu are ancient and chaotic, and there is no clear and reliable answer.

? basic content

? Black spots and white spots arranged in several arrays on the river map contain infinite mysteries; The sum of the three numbers on the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines in Luoshu is equal to 15, which is very wonderful. Scholars at home and abroad have conducted long-term exploration and research on this issue, believing that it is the crystallization of the spiritual thinking of Chinese ancestors and the first milestone of ancient civilization in China. The Book of Changes and Hong Fan occupy an important position in the history of China's cultural development, and have far-reaching influence in the fields of philosophy, politics, military science, ethics, aesthetics and literature. As the historical and cultural origins of China, Hetu and Luoshu played an important role.

? Principle of river map

? Left-handed theory

? Sitting facing south, facing Zuo Dong and aquatic wood in the west, wood makes a fire, fire produces soil, local gold produces water, and gold produces water, which are the five elements of the left-handed generation. Center does not move, one, three, five, seven, nine, positive turn left; Two, four, six, eight, ten, negative left hand; They all rotate clockwise, which is the operation of the five elements. As we know, galaxies like the Milky Way are right-handed from above and left-handed from above. So "anger goes up like a horn." So the left hand goes against the sky, and the right hand goes against the sky. So whether life is good or bad, the life of left-handed people is also good.

? Pictographic principle

? River map is a star map, which is used in geography, so it is like in the sky and shaped in the ground. In the sky, the image is three walls and twenty-eight lodges, and underground, green dragons, white tigers, suzaku, Xuanwu and Tang Ming are formed. The image of the sky is wind and kindness, and the shape of the earth is dragon and water, so it is feng shui. It's the luck of the stars and the gas of the terrain. Therefore, four images and four shapes are the spirits of heaven, earth and five elements.

Five elements principle

? The river map determines the congenital position of the five elements, East Wood and West Gold, South Fire and North Water, and Middle Earth. The five elements are left-handed, and the middle-earth spins. Therefore, the five elements of the river map are born together, which is the reason why everything is born together. Soil is virtue, so the five elements are born with the virtue of good life.

Theory of yin and Yang

? The theory that the soil is the middle yin, the four images are the outer yang, and the inner and outer yin and yang; Wood fire is yang, and gold water is yin, which is the principle of combining yin and yang; The five elements have their own yin and yang, which is the principle that yin and yang are mutually rooted and homologous; The middle earth is static, and the four images are moving. This is the principle of the movement of Yin and Yang. If the river map is square and forms a circle, the wood fire is yang, the golden water is yin, and the yin soil and the yang soil are black and white fisheye, it is a red map. At this time, water is lunar, fire is sun, wood is shaoyang, and gold is shaoyin, which is the four images of Tai Chi. Therefore, the river map is used for yin and yang, and it is also the source of easy images. One is the embodiment of yin and yang.

? Congenital principle

? What is congenital? Man regards heaven as heaven, and heaven regards man as heaven. People rule the sky, people belong to the sky, and people are the same as the sky. It doesn't matter who they are. At this time, heaven is innate. People can know the sky, but they can go against it. Man is heaven, and heaven is heaven, so it is the day after tomorrow. Innate principle, all things and five elements coexist, mainly based on hair growth. Acquired principle, all things and five elements contain each other, mainly extinction. According to the river chart theory, the earth is in the middle and everything is in harmony, and the left hand is in harmony. Because the earth is in the middle, it is relatively blocked, so the congenital theory was born in the left-handed spiral. Moreover, the principle of river map is that the squares are static, so the river map is mainly static.

? The image, number and reason of the river map are simple, extensive and profound. Let's stop here.

? Legend of origin

? China's Yi-ology legend about the source of gossip originally refers to good omen in the sky. The characters of Heluo were first found in Shangshu Gu Ming and The Analects of Confucius Zi Han. Shangshu Gu Ming: "Dayu, Yuyi, Celestial Sphere and River Map are in the east sequence." Guan Zi Chen Xiao: "In the past, the people were appointed by the dragon turtle, and the river made a picture, Luo made a book, and the land made yellow." There is no one in Sanxiang today. " Book of Changes: "Rivers draw, Luo writes, and saints write." It is believed that gossip is derived from Heluo. Han people often say this sentence, which explains the origin of gossip with Heluo.

? The understanding of future generations

? In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xin regarded the river map as gossip, and Shang Shu Hong Fan as Luo Shu. There are nine-latitude books in Han Dynasty: River Map and Six-Luo Book. Attached are the figures of Heluo 1996. In the early Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan wrote "Long Yi Tu". Absorbing the theory of nine palaces in Han and Tang Dynasties and the number of five elements, this paper puts forward a schema, namely the famous dragon map, that is, the hermit of Xishu takes Chen Tuan's innate Taiji map as the river map. Liu Mu developed Chen Tuan Dragon Map into two schemata, namely River Map and Luoshu, which are called Nine palace map River Map, and generated five-element map, which is called Luoshu. Zhu Zhen of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded his paintings in the Book of Changes. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Cai thought that the river map and Luoshu were reversed, which was called Luoshu, and the five elements generated map was called the river map. Zhu's Book of Changes has a picture at the beginning. What later generations say is generally based on Cai's theory. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xue took the map of Jiujiang and Luo Shu as the map and geography of the Zhou Dynasty. In Qing Dynasty, Huang Zongxi's theory of images and numbers in Yi-ology and Hu Weiwei's "He Bian" also thought that Hutuluo belonged to the category of four directions. Today, Gao Feng thinks that Hutu Luoshu may be an ancient geography book, while others think that Hutu is an ancient climate map, Luoshu is an ancient orientation map, or Hutu is a map of Tianhe. Opinions vary and are still being explored [2].

? River map and Luo Shu

? It is generally believed that the river map is the body and the book is used; River map main transformer, Luoshu main transformer; River maps overlap and Luo Shu re-divides; Fiona Fang hides from each other, and Yin and Yang embrace and serve each other, which are inseparable. Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty thought: "Hutuluo's calligraphy is longitude and latitude." (Note to the History of the Five Elements) Zhu and Cai in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The river map is the main one, so it is extremely high; Luo Shu has changed, so it is extremely nine. " "The river map is in one place with the number of five students and fifty percent, showing people and saying that it is often, and the body of the number is also. Luo Shu has five odd and four even, covering the change of yin and yang, and the number is also used. " Surprisingly, the images of rivers in the sky are circular, and there are three of them. Luo Shu is like a place, and its number is two, which is even. Cai Shen (Yi Xue Enlightenment): "The river map is round and used, and saints draw hexagrams with it; Luo Shu is square, with a circle, and saints use it to describe their own domain. " It is considered that the main image of the river map is the main number of Luo Shu; Master He Tu and his wife, Master Luo Shu; The river is quiet, but the book moves. (The Inner Chapter of Hong Ji) In the Qing Dynasty, those who tried to find out the relationship between him and Luo thought that "the river map is outside the circle", "the middle ten points are round cloth" and "the outer four circles are square, containing ten packages, and the Chinese side is still hidden, and the Chinese side is hidden. There is yang in the yin and wonderful yin in the yang. And the middle fifteen, that is, the number of Luo Shu is fifteen in all directions, which is another image of the river map wrapping Luo Shu. The river map points are all tiled, with no discount, and Luoshu is also. " "Luo Shu cylindrical inside, round black and white, a total of forty. The round cloth is thin outside and wrapped in the image of the river map. " "The river map has the body of Luo Shu, and Luo Shu really has the magical function of the river map, because the book parity has a Fiona Fang interactive table." (Mu Yi) Modern Hang Xinzhai thought: "The river map is useful for the body, and Luo Shu is useful for the body." "There are people who take gossip with books, but they can't pay attention to it. In fact, the river map is the body and the book is used. The river map is innate, and the book is acquired. " "Therefore, pictures and books are inseparable." (Yi Wedge) Some people think that river maps are "combined" and have the characteristics of odd and even matching, yin and yang embracing each other and generating dependence; Luo Shu emphasizes "points" and has the characteristics of odd-even separation and ectopic. The combination of the two points embodies the dialectical relationship between unity of opposites and ups and downs.

? Book of Changes: "It is a natural thing, and saints do it; Heaven and earth change, saints also; The sky hangs like seeing good or ill luck, and saints like it; The river draws a picture, Luo publishes a book, and the sage does it. " Confucius believed in the existence of Hetu and Luoyi, and regarded them as one of the four bases for saints to write Yi.

? Jiugong's river map, Luo Shu and other graphics and documents have been preserved to this day. In fact, the river chart is arranged from 1 to 10, 5 and 10 form the middle palace, and the odd numbers are yang and white, representing heaven (life); Even numbers are dark black, representing the number of places (into a number). Luoshu is actually a nine-palace, that is, 1-9 arrangement, and the sum of the horizontal and vertical oblique numbers is 15. River map and Luo Shu are different in form, but the essence is the same. They all represent the unified system of calendar and divination, with five people from all directions, four seasons and eight festivals, gossip and nine palaces. The October solar calendar and the river chart have something in common because they come from the same source.

? Shangshu Gu Ming: "Dayu, Yuyi, Celestial Sphere and River Map are in the east sequence." Kong Chuan thinks the river map is gossip. Some documents say that when Fuxi was a dragon horse, the negative picture came from the river, while others say that Yao and Yu were influenced by the picture. "Chronicle of Bamboo Books" Xuanyuan Fifty Years Autumn, July, Phoenix Arrives, Emperor Sacrifices to Luoshui "Shen Yue's Note:" Dragon Map Out of the River, Turtle Book Out of Luoshui ... "The saying of taking pictures after the wind is widely circulated. Some people think that the dragon horse is the dragon and Tianma four of the seven nights in the East, which is consistent with the "dragon head with horse body" in Shan Hai Jing. It should be the dragon horse found in the starry sky by the ancient dragon horse totem. Judging from Jiahu culture, it is a fact that divination existed more than 8 thousand years ago, and it is possible to produce pictures and texts such as river maps. Later, it was passed down as "the emperor's order".

? In Han Dynasty, Luo Shu was regarded as the nine realms of Hong Fan. "Dragon Luo Yu book, turtle out negative articles, listed in the back. As for the number of nine, Sui Yucheng was the first to become a nine-category conventional road. " Records of Five Elements in Hanshu holds that Luo Shu is from "Talking about Five Elements in the Early Days" to "Using Six Extremes for a Long Time" in Shangshu Hongfan. The Taiyi Jiugong method mentioned in Yi Gan Wei's Letters became the calligraphy used by later warlocks. Taiyi is Taiyi, and the nine palaces are: Central ostentation and extravagance, Bei Gong Yeci, Northeast Tiandai, East Palace Cangmen and Southeast Luo Yin. Nangongtian, southwest Xuanwei, Xigong Cangguo, northwest Silla. Taiyi moved to the Palace on winter solstice, beginning of spring, vernal equinox, long summer, summer solstice, beginning of autumn, autumnal equinox and beginning of winter. Eight knots correspond to eight winds. Eight directions of gossip, with Jiugong as the center. Eight diagrams azimuth corresponds to eight nodes, which can be proved by daily operation azimuth and bucket handle azimuth. Take the next day's gossip as an example, the earthquake is east, representing the vernal equinox; Xun is the southeast, representing the long summer; Leave for the south to represent the summer solstice; Kun is the southwest, representing beginning of autumn; Exchange for the west, representing the autumnal equinox; The northwest is dry, representing the beginning of winter; North ridge, representing the winter solstice; Gen is the northeast, representing the beginning of spring. The gossip of the day after tomorrow is decided by Zhou Wenwang, while the previous innate gossip was: beginning of spring in the northeast, vernal equinox in the east, long summer in the southeast, summer solstice in the south, autumn equinox in the southwest of beginning of autumn, autumn equinox in Kanxi, beginning of winter in the northwest and winter solstice in Kunbei. Before the Zhou Dynasty, gossip and American Indian gossip were unique gossip. China found many octagonal patterns. Many sites of Songze culture and Dawenkou culture in Dadunzi, Pixian County, Jiangsu Province are relatively early. 4000 years ago, there were still similar patterns in Xiaoheyan culture in Aohan Banner, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. On a jade bird unearthed in Lingjiatan, Hanshan, Anhui Province, there is an octagonal star pattern on the chest and abdomen, and the pattern on the rectangular jade piece sandwiched between the abdominal shell and the carapace of the jade turtle is Guluoshu. The number of holes on the edge of the jade piece is four, five, nine and five. It means that Taiyi took the route from four to five, from six to nine, and then to five. The octagonal star pattern of Daxi culture in Tangjiagang, Anxiang, Hunan, is similar to the Gregorian stone pattern in Astek, Mexico. There is a hibiscus tree on each side of the December phase diagram of Chu Gou's Book, which is similar to the eight diagrams hibiscus tree in Mi Staercke (a branch of Indians). Mishtek's Fusang map is a pattern of gossip and nine palaces. It can be seen that the Book of Confused Luoshu is the Nine Palaces of Eight Diagrams, and the Nine Palaces of Five People and Eight Sections in Four Seasons are only divided into four quarters and eight quarters, and the position of the Middle Palace is irrelevant.
