What is the origin of the book of Hutuluo?

"River Map" and "Luoshu" are the sources of Chinese culture. "The Book of Changes" says: "The river makes a picture, Luo makes a book, and the sage makes it." This saint is Fuxi, the ancestor of human culture. Legend has it that in Fu Xishi, a dragon horse appeared from the Yellow River, carrying a "river map"; There are turtles appearing from Luoshui, carrying "Luoshu". Fuxi drew eight diagrams according to this kind of "picture" and "book", and later Zhou Wenwang studied the written king's eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams according to Fuxi's eight diagrams, and wrote eight diagrams respectively.

River Map and Luoshu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China, which have always been regarded as the origin of Heluo culture.

On November 11th, 214, the legend of Hutuluo was approved by the State Council to be included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

the river map and Luo Shu are the sources of Chinese culture and the five elements of yin and yang. Confucianism in the Han Dynasty believed that the river map was the eight diagrams, while Luo Shu was the Nine Domains of Hong Fan in Shangshu. He Tu and Luo Shu were first recorded in Shangshu, followed by hundred schools of thought in Yi Zhuan. Tai Chi, Eight Diagrams, Zhouyi, Liujia, nine planets, Feng Shui and so on can all be traced back to this point.

There is a saying in The Book of Changes: "The river makes a picture, Luo makes a book, and the sage makes it". The Book of Changes and Hong Fan play an important role in the history of Chinese cultural development, and have a far-reaching influence in philosophy, politics, military science, ethics, aesthetics and literature. As the origin of China's history and culture, He Tuluo's book contributed a lot.

in December, 214, the legend of Hetao and Luoshu in Luoyang was officially selected into the national intangible cultural heritage list. [1]

tracing the origin

Zhouyi originated from Fuxi Bagua, and Fuxi Bagua originated from Hetu and Luoshu. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, a great philosopher, listed "River Map" and "Luo Shu" for the first time in his book "The Original Meaning of Zhouyi", and put his map at the beginning, with nine as the river map and ten as the Luo Shu. Most scholars in later generations believe that Zhu Xi's "River Map" and "Luo Shu" originated from Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Xi deduced Chen Tuan's theory. Zhu Xi gave a simple account of the development process of "River Map" and "Luo Shu", saying: "The images of books originated from Kong Anguo, Liu Xin and Wei Guanlangzi in Han Dynasty, and there were Mr. Song Kangjie and Mr. Shao Yongyao in Ming Dynasty, all of which were called so. They changed their names in Liu Mu, but because of them, many scholars resumed them today and learned from their old ones." Zhu Xi said so, but in the Qing Dynasty, scholars such as Huang Zongxi and Hu Wei raised objections to Song Confucianism's "River Map" and "Luo Shu". Since then, "River Map" and "Luo Shu" have become a long-standing and intractable mystery in academic circles.
