Why did Hetu Luoshu become the origin of Chinese civilization?
Hetu Luoshu is the source of Chinese culture, Yin Yang and Five Elements. It was first recorded in "Shang Shu", followed by "Yi Zhuan", and was recorded by hundreds of schools of thought. Tai Chi, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Nine Stars, Feng Shui, etc. can all be traced back to this point. The Xingyi Tomb unearthed in Xishuipo, Puyang, Henan in 1987 is about 6,500 years old. The images of green dragons and white tigers painted with shells in the tomb are lifelike, almost the same as in modern times. The river map has four images and 28 places. The shape and meaning of its arrangement are consistent with the stars on the top and geography on the bottom, and it is known that when buried, it will be excavated. A jade piece from the belly of a turtle from Hanshan, Anhui, unearthed in the same year, is an image of Luoshu, dating back about 5,000 years. It can be seen that at that time people were proficient in the physics of heaven and earth, as well as the numbers of Hetu and Luoshu. According to expert research, the star chart in the Xingyi Tomb dates back to 25,000 years ago. This shows that Shao Yong and other sages believed that "Hetu and Luoshu are ancient star maps", and their words are true.

1. The image of the river diagram
The river diagram uses ten black and white dots to represent yin and yang, the five elements, and the four images. The diagram is a square. As follows:
North: One white dot inside and six black dots outside, indicating the Xuanwu astrology and the five elements of water.
East: Three white dots inside and eight black dots outside, indicating the astrology of the Green Dragon and the Five Elements of Wood.
South: Two black dots inside and seven white dots outside, representing the Suzaku astrology and the five elements of fire.
Western: Four black dots inside and nine white dots outside, indicating the white tiger astrology and the five elements of gold.
Center: Five white dots inside and ten black dots outside, representing the singularity of space and time, and the five elements of earth.
(Among them, the white dots in odd numbers are yang, and the black dots in even numbers are yin. Among the four images, each image controls seven constellations, with a total of 28 constellations.) The above is "River Map" 》. Among them, the four images, according to the orientation of the ancients sitting north and facing south, are: Suzaku in the front, Xuanwu in the back, Qinglong on the left, and white tiger on the right. This is the source of Feng Shui pictograms.
Two, the number of the river map
1, the number of heaven and earth: There are 10 numbers in the river map, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Among them, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are Yang, and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are Yin. The sum of yang numbers is 25, the sum of yin numbers is 30, and the sum of yin and yang is 55. Therefore, the ancients said: "The number of heaven and earth is fifty-five", that is, the number of heaven and earth is 55, "the ghosts and gods move through changes". That is to say, the number of all things is derived from the number of heaven and earth.
2. The number of living things: the sky produces water, and the earth produces 60% of it; the earth produces fire, and the sky produces 70% of it; the sky produces wood, and the earth produces 80% of it; the earth produces gold, and the sky produces 90% of it; The five heavens give birth to earth, and the earth makes up ten percent of it. So one is the birth number of water, two is the birth number of fire, three is the birth number of wood, four is the birth number of gold, and five is the birth number of earth. Six is the number of water, seven is the number of fire, eight is the number of wood, nine is the number of gold, and ten is the number of earth. All things have a number, and they can only be born when they are born; all things have a number, and they can be completed only when they can be achieved. Therefore, all things exist in numbers.
3. The number of the five elements: The number of the five elements is the number of the five elements, which is water one, fire two, wood three, metal four, and earth five. It is also called the number of Xiaoyan. One, three, and five are Yang numbers, and their sum is nine, so nine is the number of Yang pole. Two and four are yin numbers, and their sum is six, so six is the extreme number of yin. The numbers of yin and yang are combined into the number 15, so when transformed into Luo Shu, the numbers 15 are both vertical and horizontal, which is the number of yin and yang and the five elements.
4. The number of Dayan: The number of Dayan 50 is the number of five elements multiplied by earth, 10; it is also the number used for the number of heaven and earth. The number of heaven and earth is 55. Subtract the number of Xiaoyan 5 to get the number of Dayan 50. Xiaoyan is the number of heaven and earth, and Dayan is the number of heaven and earth. The so-called "the Dayan number 50 is used for 49" is a divination method that uses the Dayan number to predict: one is the body and forty-nine is the use, so the use is forty and nine.
5. The number of intersections of heavenly stems: The number of tens in the river map is the number of ten heavenly stems. The number of friendships is: one or six of the same sect, two or seven of the same path, three or eight as friends, four or nine as friends, five or ten of the same virtue. It is the number by which all things survive.
Therefore, Jia and Ji are combined into one and six *** sects, Yi and Geng are combined into two and seven comrades, Bing and Xin are combined into three and eight are friends, Ding and Ren are combined into four and nine are friends, and Wu and Gui are combined into five and ten together. After the ten heavenly stems merge together, they become the five elements of the heavenly stems. The body of the five elements of the river map is transformed into the function of the five elements of the heavenly stems.
6, the number of six jiazi receiving sounds: the number of heaven and earth 55 plus the number of five elements 5, combined into 60 jiazi the number of five elements receiving sounds. The yin and yang and the five elements of the ten heavenly stems intersect with all things. They seek each other with the same energy, and each produce 12 sounds in the same voice. Silent and silent sounds are not included. According to the river map, the five elements of the north, east, south, west, and middle are like five elements. *** 60 Nayin . It is the number of sounds from the five elements of heaven and earth.
7. The Hetu Luoshu and the twenty-eight constellations are closely related to the twelve constellations of the zodiac
The Hetu Luoshu is closely related to the twenty-eight constellations, and is closely related to the Western Zodiac Ten The Second Palace is also a different expression of the same natural laws:
Hetu Luoshu is the basis of "Book of Changes". Although there are differences in Eastern and Western cultures, the movements of celestial bodies in the sky are the same.
The legend of Hetu Luoshu is scattered in various historical books, but there are different opinions and different opinions. Here are some of the more common statements.
One of the legends:
It is said that during the time of Fuxi, Fuxi taught people to "knot ropes into nets for fishing" and raise livestock, which promoted the development of production and improved people's health. living conditions. Therefore, the auspiciousness rises one after another, and it is a divine gift from heaven. There is a mythical beast with a dragon's back and a horse's body, with two wings, eight feet and five inches tall, with dragon scales on its body, walking on the water as if walking on the flat ground, carrying map points on its back, entering the Tu River from the Yellow River (today's Mengjin County, Luoyang City, Baihe , Shuangzhuang Township), swimming in the Tu River. People call it dragon horse. This is what later generations often call the "dragon and horse negative picture". After Fuxi saw it, he drew a pattern according to the points on the dragon's horse's back. Then, another divine turtle appeared from Luoshui carrying a book. Fuxi received this god-given book represented by symbols, and drew Bagua based on it. This is what is recorded in the "Book of Changes", "The river produces pictures, the Luo produces books, and the sages follow them." That is to say, Fu Xi "made Bagua to communicate the virtues of gods and imitate the emotions of all things." Therefore, later generations built a negative picture temple at the place where Fuxi's dragon and horse negative picture was located. To commemorate Fuxi's achievements in pioneering civilization.
Legend 2:
It is said that during the time of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor understood the sentiments of the people, worked personally, and was loved by the people. At the same time, it also moved the gods, so the weather was smooth, the grain was plentiful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One day, the God of Heaven told Huang Di that there was a Dragon Picture and Turtle Book in the Luo River. If you get it, you will govern the world better, so Huang Di led the leaders to patrol the Luo River. One day, it was heavy fog, and he vaguely saw a big fish trapped on the river beach. The Yellow Emperor was very sympathetic to the big fish's plight, but he couldn't think of any good solution, so he ordered people to kill five animals and sacrifice them to the Emperor of Heaven. And he knelt down to ask the Emperor of Heaven for help. The Emperor of Heaven was moved and rained heavily for seven days and nights, causing the Luo River to surge and the big fish to be rescued. After the big fish left, Huangdi got the Hetu Luoshu on the bank of Luoshui River, which is the "Hetu Shimeng Pian", which recorded various knowledge needed by human beings in hieroglyphics. This is the legendary "Luoshu Fish Offering". It is said that the place where the book was obtained is south of the ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties in Luoyang, at the confluence of the old Yiluo River.
Legend Three:
During the reign of Yao in the Tang Dynasty, Yao led the chiefs to travel eastward to Luoshui. When the sun was in the west, I accidentally sank the jade into the Luoshui River. Suddenly, I saw lights shining from all over the Luoshui River, and a turtle came out and disappeared again. So Yao built an altar by the Luoshui River, chose an auspicious day and solemnly sunk the jade into the bottom of the river. After a slight tilt, the bottom of the river shone with light, and then a cloud of mist flew up, and there was the sound of jets of water spitting out from the clouds. After a strong wind, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, the sea was calm, and a large turtle shell floated on the water, nine feet wide, with green red text. The flat area on the shell has clear text, and there are stars, seven degrees of government, and the rise and fall of emperors of each generation. Since then, the writings of Yili have been spread among the people. This is the legendary "Spirit Turtle".
Legend No. 4:
It is said that during the time of Yu and Shun, Shun was practicing the rituals of Yao and sank the jade in Luoshui. A red light suddenly appeared in the water, and a turtle came out carrying a book. Then a scroll of armor and yellow dragon was spread out on the bank of the clouds, and the seal characters in red script were handed down to Shun. This is the legendary "Huanglong Negative Book".
Legend No. 5:
It is said that during the time of Yu, when he was controlling floods, he came to Luohe River and saw a divine turtle with inscriptions on its back, numbered from one to nine, so Yu took the first place. To form nine domains. "Cefu Yuangui*Emperor's Department" also said that "Xia Yu was the emperor, and Luo published a Guishu with sixty-five characters. He was Hong Fan, and this is the so-called author of Luo's book." This means that Dayu was praised by all the people for his meritorious service in controlling floods and was virtuous in the world, and was blessed by heaven. A magical turtle emerged from the Luohe River. The turtle was 1.2 feet long and had 65 red seal characters on its back. Some people say that this is the "Hong Fan" chapter in "Shang Shu", which is the nine methods for governing the country.
In the poem "Ode to Luo" by Li Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, there is a line: "The divine turtle is Fang Xirui, and the green character comes back to achieve perfection", which is a poem praising Luo Gui's negative book for bringing light to the Chinese nation. Turtle script may be what we now call "oracle bone script".
