Detailed explanation: What is Hetu Luoshu?

Hetu Luoshu is a mysterious pattern handed down from ancient my country and the source of the birth of Chinese civilization. It has had a profound impact in many fields, and its influence in Feng Shui is even more important.

So, what exactly is Hetu Luoshu? Come and have a look with me!

Hetu Luoshu is the origin of the development of Chinese culture. According to legend, in the ancient Fuxi era more than 7,000 years ago, a magical dragon and horse appeared on the water surface of Mengshui River carrying a mysterious map, symbolizing auspiciousness. Later generations called it the "River Map" and also called the Generalized Universe Map. . There are fifty-five black and white dots on each axis in the river map, which represents the "number of heaven and earth" fifty-five. Among them, the white dots are odd numbers, one, three, five, seven, and nine, which represent Yang and heaven, and are called "numbers of heaven"; the black dots are even numbers, two, four, six, eight, and ten, which represent Yin and represent heaven. Land is called land number. The number of days adds up to twenty-five; the number of lands adds up to thirty.

The sum of the numbers of heaven and earth adds up to fifty-five. Therefore, it is said that "the number of heaven and earth is fifty to five". One to five is the "number of birth", and six to ten is the "number of success". It means being born.

In the era of Dayu's flood control, another kind of divine turtle emerged from Luoshui carrying another mysterious picture, offering good luck and auspiciousness. Later generations called it "Luoshu". There are some regular patterns on the back of the turtle, which are arranged as follows: "Wear nine shoes and one on the left, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five on the belly." That is, one in the north is water, and one in the east is water. Three is wood, nine in the south is fire, seven in the west is gold, and five in the center is earth. This forms the diagram of nine palaces in the Eight Diagrams; the first palace is in the Kan position, the second palace is in the Kun position, the third palace is in the Zhen position, the fourth palace is in the Xun position, the fifth palace is in the center, the sixth palace is in the Qian position, the seventh palace is in the Dui position, and the eighth palace is in the Qian position. The palace is in the Gen position, and the Ninth Palace is in the Li position.

The first house is water, the second, fifth, and eighth houses are earth, the third and fourth houses are wood, the sixth and seventh houses are gold, and the ninth house is fire. Fuxi deduced the Eight Diagrams from the "He Tu", which is called "Xiantian Bagua"; King Wen of Zhou deduced the "Acquired Bagua" and "Sixty-Four Hexagrams" from the "Luoshu". The so-called Bagua means Qian Kun Li Dui Kan Gen Zhen Xun, and the Zhouyi originated from Hetu Luoshu. Hetu and Luoshu are ancient Chinese astronomical and geographical maps respectively. This cosmic map is widely used in Chinese Feng Shui and other ancient technologies.
