How should children choose their first independent English reading picture books?

"The river produces pictures, Luo produces books, and the sages follow them" (excerpted from "The Book of Changes")

Although Feng Shui has mentioned river pictures and Luo books many times, most people have always I don’t know what Hetu and Luoshu are?

It was not until Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest from Huashan in the Song Dynasty, that he took out the Hetu and Luo Shu. It was said that they were obtained from strangers, and Heluo reappeared in the eyes of the world. So where did Hetu and Luoshu come from?

The true appearance of the River Map and Luo Shu

The River Map

The River Map - One and six (the number of circles) are the five elements of water in the north; two, Seven (the number of circles) means that the five elements Fire resides in the south; three and eight (the number of circles) means that the Five Elements wood resides in the east; four and nine (the number of circles) means that the Five Elements gold resides in the west; five and ten (the number of circles) means Earth resides in the middle.

Hetu numbers range from one to ten, and there are fifty numbers in one ***.

One, three, five, seven, and nine are all odd numbers and belong to Yang, so they are called the "number of days". The total is: 1+3+5+9=25, which is called the number of days twenty. five. It is represented by "

hollow circle" in the figure.

Among them, two, four, six, eight, and ten are all even numbers, belonging to Yin, and are called "land numbers". The total is: 2+4++6+8+10=30, also known as The land number is thirty. It is represented by a "filled circle" in the figure.

As the old saying goes:

“One or six people belong to the same sect, two or seven are on the same path, thirty or eight are friends, four or nine are friends, and fifty are on the same journey.”

Among them, "16 is the five elements of water, 27 is the five elements of fire, 38 is the wood without center, 49 is the five elements of gold, 50 is in the center, and the five elements are earth."

This sentence is also a commonly used term in Feng Shui. Although it is difficult to remember, practice makes perfect.

If you want to truly understand Feng Shui and adjust your destiny, you must memorize it~

Luo Shu

Luo Shu - Dai Jiulu One, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are the shoulders, six and eight are the feet, and five is in the center.

Good correspondence can be achieved through Luoshu pictures.

It can also be recorded this way: Li Jiukan one, Zhen three Dui Qi, Kun two Xun four, Qian six Gen eight.

So, when we often talk about home feng shui, or teach everyone how to arrange financial positions, official positions, etc., there will be such a picture, which is called the New Year's Day plate.

Then this New Year's Day plate is drawn based on Luo Shu.

What are innate Bagua and acquired Bagua?

Through the above picture, there are numbers 1-9 in the nine-square grid, which are the Luo Shu numbers. The inner gossip is the innate gossip, and the outer gossip is called the acquired gossip.

So the south is the stem position of the innate Bagua and the left position of the acquired Bagua. The north is the Kun position of the innate Bagua and the Kan position of the acquired Bagua.

The rest of the directions can be deduced in the same way. Understanding the innate and acquired gossip is a very important step for us novices who don’t understand Feng Shui, or for those of us who plan to learn Feng Shui!
