Why did Fuxi draw the eight trigrams?

Fu Xi, through the cultivation of the use of internal search method to prove out of the body of the Hetu, and thus the unity of man and heaven to realize the phaseless Avenue of nature and the truth of the universe, and thus the evolution of the eight trigrams, to become the founder of the culture of the Yi Dao. According to the literature, in the Chinese nation passed down in the humanities ancestor, flint invented fire, have nest invented residence, Shennong invented agriculture, medicine, but only Fu Xi, he almost concentrated on the ancient period of all the inventions and creations, set up the QiTian achievements, the descendants therefore called him "the first ancestor", "the originator of Sven He was called "the first ancestor" and "the originator of Sven" by the later generations. "Tai Hao", that is, people's praise for Fuxi, meaning that Fuxi's virtues are infinite, as bright and selfless as the sun and the moon, is the embodiment of the Tao on earth. Mother said Huaxu, fulfillment of the great man traces in the Lei Ze born ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? in the Chengji. Snake body and human head, with holy virtue. He looked up to the sky and looked down to the earth. Look at the text of the birds and animals, and the ground of the appropriate, close to the body, far away from all things, began to draw gossip, in order to pass the virtue of the gods, in order to classify the feelings of all things. Create a book deed to replace the political rope. So the beginning of the system of marriage, to the ritual of Lipi. Knotted net to teach tenant fishing, so it is called Mi ??'s, raising sacrifices to fill the kitchen, so it is called ??. To the Dragon Rui, to the Dragon discipline official, called the Dragon Division. Make thirty-five strings of Arthur, wood virtue king, note spring order, its emperor taihao is also, are in Chen, east of the seal of Taishan, standing one hundred and eleven years collapse". Sima Zhen's this record, mainly based on the "Emperor Century" record, the life of Fu Xi, merit and legend of the content of a high degree of generalization, and become the current study of Fu Xi's deeds of the main documents.

Fu Xi is the initiator of Chinese civilization, and he drew the eight trigrams as a symbol, bringing Chinese history into a new era of civilization. However, Fuxi's painting of gossip is built on the basis of the river map, about the river map of the history of different opinions, it is necessary to make a little discussion.

Hetu Luoshu, is the root of Chinese culture, is China's moral roots of the culture of the initial gene culture, is the source of gossip inspiration, is the yin and yang, five elements of the culture of the beginning of the art. Hetu Luoshu was born in the true knowledge of Fuxi's deep state of unity between heaven and man. He was in the use of repair of the body within the law, to achieve the state of unity of heaven and man, through the body of the body to obtain this pattern, and then painted into a visual graphic for preservation, has been preserved until the weekend and was destroyed. During the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods, because the internal seeking method of virtue cultivation and the unity of heaven and man had receded from the society, the people who were able to prove that the river map appeared in the internal realm and corresponded to the river map outside the universe through the internal seeking method were obviously rare. People began to explore and research the river map recorded in the calligraphy and paintings of their predecessors. According to the traditional saying, Hetu and Luoshu are the source of Chinese culture, and finding the most primitive Hetu and Luoshu is equivalent to finding the original source of the Chinese nation. Until the era of King Cheng of Zhou, the recorded Hetu and Luoshu were still on display in the palace; after the chaos of King You, the national treasures of the Western Zhou Dynasty were plundered by the Injun, and the Hetu and Luoshu have been missing ever since.

Hetu Luoshu, is the root culture of Chinese morality from the ancient times of cultivating the body within the law and the pattern,

Fu Xi is through the body of the body and the internal search, into the state of unity between man and nature after the observation and the birth of this pattern, and recorded, and from this to produce the philosophy of Yi Yi Yi and the eight trigrams drawn. The traditional Chinese culture of Taiji, Bagua, Zhouyi, Six Armor, Nine Stars, Feng Shui and so on are all born from this. They are widely used in Chinese medicine, I Ching, Feng Shui, Five Elements, Zi Ping Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu and Sun Selection and other divinations.

Chuan Yun: "Hetu, eight trigrams; Fuxi king of the world, the dragon horse out of the river, so then its text to draw the eight trigrams, called Hetu." "Yi - Department of Rhetoric" said: "River out of the map, Luo out of the book, the saint then. At this time, "Hetu, Luoshu" refers to what? There is no record yet.

"Zhouyi-Series of Rhetoric": "the ancient Fu Xi's king of the world, also, up is to look at the image in the sky, down is to look at the law in the ground, look at the birds and beasts of the text and the ground of the appropriate, close to take all the body, far from all the things, and then began to make eight gossip." "The number of heaven five, the number of earth five, the five positions and each have a combination."

Fu Xi painted gossip, mainly based on the natural scenery at that time. The philosophy of the eternal existence of the universe will be represented by simple symbols of symbols. The modern scene, of course, is not the same as that of Fuxi's time. We must read the I Ching and put ourselves in the place of the scene of that time to experience it.

Fu Xi first wondered, "Why is the universe so orderly?" He observed the four hours of the day and night, and the sequence of substitutions. Day is followed by night, and night is followed by day: spring, summer, fall, and winter are also in sequence. Who is it that governs, and makes everything in the universe change in such a regular manner? He kept on pondering and pursuing deeper and deeper, searching for the true picture of the management of the universe.

Some people may attribute this to "God" at once, thinking that God is in charge of everything, so the universe appears to be very regular.

Fuxi did not think this way. He just realized: everything is fluid. There is nothing in the universe that is not in flux, and there is probably a powerful kinetic energy that drives everything to flux! The fact that the Chinese have not developed their own religion is closely related to Fuxi's attitude. We don't take the path of religion, but we are able to walk on the road of natural law at once.

There was no writing at that time, and he couldn't use words to record the idea that "there is a great momentum that drives everything to change", so he had to use his hand to draw a simple symbol "-" on the ground to represent his idea. He had to use his hand to draw the simplest symbol "-" on the ground to represent his thoughts.
