Luohe is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Where is Hutuluo's birthplace?

The legend of Hutuluo, which originated in Luoyang, Henan Province, is a system of folklore about "the river outside the painting" and "Luoshu", mainly including the legend of Malone's negative statue temple, the sacred turtle offering Luoshu and so on. In Menghui Town, Mengjin County, China, at the intersection of the Yellow River and its tributary Tuhai River, it is said that it is the land of "Malone Negative Map" and there is a Malone Negative Map Temple; Xichangshui Village in Luoning County, the intersection of Luohe River and its tributary Huxuan River, is said to be the land of "turtle endorsement" and has a stone tablet of "Luo Chu Shu". On October 2014165438+1October1Kloc-0/day, the legend of Hutuluo was approved by the State Council to be included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Legend tells the origin of the river map and Luo Shu: According to legend, during Fu's period, a dragon horse appeared in the Yellow River, and its whirling hair became a figure of "one or six lives at the bottom, two or seven lives at the top, three or eight lives at the left, four or nine lives at the right, and fifty lives at the middle". This is the "river map", according to which Fu drew the eight diagrams and the book Zhouyi. When Dayu was harnessing the water, a turtle appeared in Luohe. Turtles are wired, circled, a little, and grouped on their backs. This is the "Luo Shu", and the "Luo Shu" explained by Dayu is the "Hong Fan" in Shangshu.

The legend of Hutuluo has been circulating in Heluo area for a long time, and it is also recorded in pre-Qin literature. The Book of Changes says: "Rivers draw pictures, Luo writes books, and saints write books." Kong Anguo, Liu Xin and others in the Western Han Dynasty also explained the Book of Hutuluo. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the original meaning of Zhouyi by Zhu appeared the pattern of "He Tu Luo Shu" for the first time.

Heluo culture is marked by "River Map" and "Luoshu", which embodies the roots of China traditional culture. Focusing on Xia, Shang and Zhou culture reflects the inheritance of China traditional culture; Taking the cultural essence of the ancient capital Luoyang as the core, it embodies the massiness of China traditional culture; Taking "Heluolang" as a way to spread this excellent culture at home and abroad reflects the radiation power of China traditional culture. Heluo culture was born and flourished in the Central Plains, and spread to all parts of the country and overseas, affecting the historical development for thousands of years. This is not only the pride of the Chinese nation, but also an important topic worthy of praise and in-depth discussion in the history of human civilization development.
