What does Hetu in Hetu Luo Shu refer to?
The Hetu and Luoshu are the origins of the development of Chinese culture. Some people call Chinese culture "Heluo culture". Hetu and Luoshu are two "mysteries", and there is no conclusion as to where they came from.
According to ancient legends, in the ancient Fuxi era, there was a magical dragon and horse carrying a mysterious picture on its back, which appeared on the water surface of Mengshui, symbolizing auspiciousness, and later generations called it the "River Picture". During the era of Dayu's flood control, another divine turtle emerged from Luoshui carrying another mysterious picture, showing auspiciousness and auspiciousness. Later generations called it "Luoshu". The Fuxi family deduced the eight trigrams from the "Hetu", which was called the "Xiantian Fuxi Bagua"; King Wen of Zhou Dynasty in the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty deduced another order of the eight trigrams from the "Luoshu" and the sixty-four hexagrams, which were called the "Huntian Wenwang Bagua". ” and sixty-four hexagrams. "Historical Records·Automatic Preface" says: "Xibo imprisoned Jili to perform the Book of Changes". "Book of Changes" is derived from Hetu Luoshu. In fact, 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.
The River Diagram, the Five Elements and the Innate Bagua
The River Diagram is an innate ontology universe diagram, or a generalized universe diagram. There are fifty-five black and white dots in the river map, representing the "number of heaven and earth" fifty-five. Among them, the white dots are the odd numbers one, three, five, seven, and nine, which represent yang and heaven, and are called "numbers of heaven"; the black dots are the even numbers two, four, six, eight, and ten, which represent yin and earth. , called "land number". The sum of the numbers of the sky is twenty-five; the sum of the numbers of the earth is thirty. The sum of the numbers of heaven and earth is fifty-five, so it is said that "the number of heaven and earth is fifty-five".
In Hetu, the five numbers from one to five are called "raw numbers"; the five numbers from six to ten are called "cheng numbers". There is a mutually reinforcing relationship between the two. The five directions in the picture, east, west, south, north, and middle, are all matched with two sets of numbers, one odd and one even. It means that everything in the world is created by the combination of yin and yang. Either it is born and the earth makes it; or it is born of the earth and it is made by heaven.
The rules of the five directions are shown in the figure below.
River diagram:
The first part of the sky is water, and the earth is 60% of it; the second part of the earth is the fire, and the sky is 70% of it; the third part of the sky is wood, and the earth is 80% of it; the fourth part of the earth is the metal, and the sky is 80% of it. Ninety percent of it; heaven and earth are five, and earth is ten percent.
The river diagram and the circle diagram match the five directions and five elements
The sky, one earth, six are north, one is water, sky, three and earth, eight is east, one is wood, sky, seven and earth, two is south, one is fire, sky and nine earth. Four is west, one is gold, five is earth, five is earth, one is middle and one is soil
Innate Fuxi Bagua Diagram
Tell the hexagrams:
The positioning of heaven and earth. Mountain ventilation. Thunder and wind are weak. Fire and water are incompatible. The gossip is wrong. First, the sum of the diagonal numbers of the eight trigrams is nine, which is called using nine. Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7 and Kun 8 are the innate numbers.
The north is where the yang energy begins to arise, so it is matched with the number one, which becomes the number six, which is called "the sky generates water, and the earth creates six."
The east is where the sun rises.
When the Yang Qi gradually grows, it is matched with the number three, which becomes the number eight. It is called "Three in the sky produce trees, and eight in the earth produce them." .
The south is where the yin energy begins to arise, so it is suitable for the number two to become the number seven, which is called "the two on the earth generate fire, and the sky becomes seven".
The west is where the sun sets, and the yin energy gradually increases, so it is matched with the number four, which becomes the number nine, which is called "the four on the earth generate gold, and the sky nine becomes it".
The center is the central area, which arranges the numbers of five and tens, which is called "the five in the sky generate the earth, and the earth generates the ten".
The innate Bagua diagram was deduced from the He diagram.
Luo Shu, the Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams
The Luo Shu is a diagram of the universe of the day after tomorrow, or a universe diagram in a narrow sense. The innate is about the body (noumenon), and the acquired is about the function. The innate hexagram is the foundation, and the acquired hexagram is about the function. Luo Shu uses numbers from one to nine. Among them, the odd numbers (odd numbers) one, three, five, seven, and nine are yang, symbolizing the way of heaven; the even numbers (even numbers) two, four, six, and eight are yin, symbolizing the earth.
Luoshu Heavenly Dao's operation rules: Yang Qi originates from the north, rotates clockwise to the left, gradually increases through the east, reaches its peak after reaching the south, and then continues to rotate to the west and gradually weakens. Therefore, the odd number "one" is in the north, which means "one yang is born"; "three" is in the east, which means "three yangs are prosperous"; "nine" is in the south, which means "nine yangs are in full bloom"; "seven" is in the west, which means "nine yangs are in full bloom" The sunset is fading."
The operation rules of Luoshu Tunnel: Yin Qi originates from the southwest corner, represented by the even number "two", and then rotates counterclockwise to the southeast; the even number "four" in the southeast corner indicates that the Yin Qi gradually gradually Growth; in the northeast corner, the Yin Qi reaches its peak, which is represented by the even number "eight"; while the earth number "Six" is in the northwest corner, indicating that the Yin Qi gradually disappears.
"Five" is located in the center, which is a symbol of the sum of three days and two places.
The acquired gossip is deduced from Luo Shu.

Luo Shu: Wear nine shoes on one, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, five are on the belly, the number in Luo Shu is also .
The Luoshu circle diagram matches the five directions and five elements
One, three, nine, and seven are called "four positives", which represent "two to two points", that is: north, winter solstice, south There is a summer solstice, a vernal equinox in the east, and an autumnal equinox in the west.
The second, fourth, eighth, and sixth are called the "four dimensions", which represent the "four establishments", that is: the beginning of spring in the northeast, the beginning of autumn in the southwest, and the beginning of summer in the southeast , the beginning of winter in the northwest.
The Diagram of the Eight Diagrams of Queen Wen’s Houtian
Speaking of the hexagram position: The emperor was shocked. Qi Huxun. See each other but never leave. To serve Hu Kun. Keep your word. Fight hard. Laohukan. Cheng Yan Hu Gen.
The sum of the diagonal numbers of Houtian Gua is ten. This is called namaste. There are five fingers behind the double, and the two fives put together are called nashis. Chinese, Indians and Catholics all put their palms together to "salute", which is called namaste. Also called appropriate. Is it suitable? It is an acquired number, and this appropriate principle comes from here. Kan 1, Kun 2, Zhen 3, Xun 4, Qian 6, Dui 7, Gen 8 and Li 9 are acquired numbers.
Practical Bagua Chart and Nine Palaces Chart
Summarizing the above theories, Chinese Feng Shui has formed many practical charts. Now we will introduce the three most commonly used ones:
1) Practical Bagua Diagram. The innate Bagua refers to "life", which is said to be about people's diet, clothing, life, old age, illness and death, breeding and planting, metal smelting and other ecological and production matters. , can be calculated by the innate Bagua. The Lord of the Later Big Bagua is "Ke". It is said that the situation of people's sacrifices, weddings and funerals and other affairs and activities can be calculated by the Bagua of the day after tomorrow. The practical Bagua of Chinese Feng Shui can be obtained by comprehensively matching the Bagua, Five Elements, Stems and Branches, Eight Doors and Four Images. picture.

2) Practical Nine Palaces Chart In Chinese Feng Shui, there is another useful chart called the "Nine Palaces Chart". The Nine Palaces Diagram is actually a grid diagram of Luoshu and Houtian Bagua, which is for convenient and intuitive arrangement.

In the picture:
The Four Positives: North, East, South and West, namely: Kanzhenlidui, also It's one, three, nine, seven.
Four Dimensions: Also called the Four Corners, they are southwest, northwest, northeast, and southeast, namely: Kun, Qian, Liang, and Dung, that is, two, six, eight, and four.
Zhonggong: for the center, five.
3) Practical Nine Palaces and Eight Winds Chart. Adding the solar terms and stems and branches of the year to the Nine Palaces Chart becomes another practical Chinese Feng Shui chart - the Nine Palaces and Eight Winds Chart.
Practical Nine Palaces and Eight Winds Diagram of Chinese Feng Shui
In the picture: A, Gallbladder, B, Hepatitis, C, Small Intestine, Ding Xinwu, Weiji and Spleen. Geng refers to the large intestine, Xin refers to the lungs, and Ren refers to the bladder, kidney, and kidney.
The Bagua aura affects the human body through the five internal organs. This fact can be explained by the artificial additional Bagua field, that is, using magnets or electromagnets. Each group of three is arranged into eight hexagrams according to the yin and yang lines, and the order is innate. In the sequence of the Bagua, the experiencer sits facing south and north in the hexagram. When the additional magnetic field is rotated, the following test results can be obtained:
When the Qian hexagram turns south (normal hexagram position), the lungs are cold and the feet are hot;
p>
When the Kun hexagram turns to the south (reverse hexagram position), the spleen is hot and the feet are cold;
When the Gao hexagram turns to the south, the heart is hot and the kidneys are cold;
The Kan hexagram turns to the south. When the hexagram "water and fire are combined", the kidneys are hot and the heart is cool;
When the Dui hexagram turns south, the lungs are cold;
When the Liang hexagram turns south, the spleen is hot;
When the Zhen Gua turns south, the liver will be hot.
It is not difficult to see that in the artificial additional Bagua field, the feelings of human internal organs are basically related to the attributes of the corresponding directions. ① In the experiment, in addition to magnets simulating the Bagua aura, you can also use luck charms, hexagrams, calligraphy and painting, and hanging on the wall to experience it. This is the method of using charms to adjust the field in Feng Shui, and the effect is also very good.
The five-color soil in Beijing’s Zhongshan Park gathers the five-color soil in the world on a stone platform. It not only symbolizes the imperial power of “there is nothing in the world but the king’s soil”, but also serves as a “holographic” model of heaven and earth. Beidahuang has black soil with high humus content; Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in the south have red soil that contains minerals; soil in Shandong and northern Jiangsu in the east is cyan, like cement color; in the west it is white, very light yellow, like milk ; The central areas of Henan and Hebei have yellow soil. These five colors correspond to the internal organs of the human body: black kidneys, red heart, green liver, white lungs, and yellow spleen and stomach.
The acquired Bagua is also consistent with the human body. The "Huangdi Neijing" of traditional Chinese medicine explains it very clearly. The north is Kanshui, which is the kidney in the human body; the south is Lihuo, which is the heart in the human body; the east is zhen, which belongs to wood, and is the liver in the human body; the west is Dui, which belongs to metal, and is the lungs in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that the kidney governs the bones, and the skills are clear. Strong kidneys and strong bones must be developed. People in the north are tall and strong, and are good athletes. South is Li Fire, which is the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the heart governs the gods", which means the brain is smart and the thinking is quick. Southerners are flexible in doing business and rely on their intelligence to travel across the ocean and explore the world. Most of the world's richest Chinese are Southerners. Spanish belongs to Lung Metal. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the lungs open to the nose", so the size of the nose can determine lung function. People from Xinjiang, China, and even Westerners have very developed noses. "The lungs are also responsible for sadness." The Qin Opera in the northwest is very sad. To the east is liver wood, which governs courage and anger. People from Northeast China and Shandong are bold and straightforward. According to Chinese Feng Shui, the aura changes with geographical distribution, and a person's body and temperament are shaped by the influence of the aura. "One side of water and soil supports one side of people", this is Feng Shui.
Looking at plants, there is a tree in the southern tropics - the mango tree, which bears fruit all year round. The colors around the fruit are different. When the fruit is ripe in the south, it will appear dark yellow; in the east, the fruit will be light yellow. ; The west side is green; the north side fruits are small and immature. This kind of tree reveals the distribution pattern of the cosmic aura, and the energy gradually increases from the north. The origin of the Bagua symbol can also be seen through this tree. Although the aura of the universe cannot be seen by the naked eye, it is distributed according to this law. Day and night, the four seasons of the year, and the rise and fall of a person's life are all the same. It is the eternal law of heaven, earth and man. The ancients said that "everything is a Tai Chi", that is, no matter how big or small everything is, it is a Tai Chi, and it is all in the operation of the acquired Bagua.
