First, the image of the river map
The river map uses ten black and white dots to represent the four images of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and its picture is square. As follows:
North: There is a white dot inside and six black dots outside, which indicate Xuanwu astrology and five elements of water.
East: There are three white spots inside and eight black spots outside, which represent Qinglong Star and Wuxing Tree.
South: There are two black spots and seven white spots outside, indicating the five behaviors of Suzaku and fire.
West: There are four black spots and nine white spots outside, representing the white tiger star and the five elements of gold.
Center: five white dots inside and ten black dots outside, representing the singularity of time and space, five elements of soil.
(Where odd numbers are white dots for Yang and even numbers are black dots for Yin. Among the four elephants, each elephant commands seven stars and has twenty-eight nights. The above is the river map. Among them, four elephants, according to the orientation of the ancients sitting in the north facing south, are: the former Suzaku, the later Xuanwu, the left Qinglong and the right White Tiger. This is the origin of geomantic pictograms.
Second, the number of river maps.
1, number of heaven and earth: the river map * * * has 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Where 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is yang, and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is yin. Yang adds up to 25, Yin adds up to 30, and Yin and Yang add up to 55. Therefore, the ancients said: "The number of heaven and earth is five out of fifty", that is, the number of heaven and earth is fifty-five. "Being a ghost is also a change". That is, the number of everything is just the number of heaven and earth.
2. The number of existing things: water is above the sky, and the ground is 60%; 70% of the fire days ranked second; There are three trees in the sky, 80% of the land; The land is rich in gold, and the sky is 90%; Heaven is born in five places, and the land is 100%. So one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold and the fifth is earth. Six is the quantity of water, seven is the quantity of fire, eight is the quantity of wood, nine is the quantity of gold, and ten is the quantity of soil. Everything has a number, and it can only be born when it is born; Everything has a number, and it can only be achieved if it can be achieved. Therefore, everything has its number.
3, the number of five elements: the number of five elements is the number of five elements, namely water one, fire two, wood three, gold four, soil five, also known as the number of small eyes. One, three and five are positive numbers, and its sum is nine, so nine is the number of anodes. Two or four is a negative number, and its sum is six, so six is a negative number. The number of yin and yang is 15, so it is the number of five elements of yin and yang when converted into Luo Shu, and it is 15 in both vertical and horizontal directions.
4. The number of big swallows: the number of big swallows is 50, that is, the number of five elements taking soil is10; It is also the number of heaven and earth. The number of heaven and earth is 55. Subtract the number of Xiaoyan from the number of Xiaoyan to get the number of Dayan 50, where Xiaoyan is the number of heaven and earth and Dayan is the number of heaven and earth. The so-called "the number of swallows is fifty, and it uses forty-nine" is the method of predicting divination by using the number of swallows: taking one as the body and forty-nine as the use, so it uses forty and nine.
5, dry days: dozens of river maps, but also the number of more than ten days. The number of copulation is: one, six * * * consanguinity, two, seven like-minded, three, eight friends, four, nine friends, five, ten like-minded. It is the number of all things that exist. Therefore, Party A is one or six sects, Party B is 27 sects, Party C is 38 friends, Party D is 49 friends and Party E is 50 sects. After ten days of dry intercourse, it became the five elements of dry intercourse, and the body of five elements of river map became the five elements of dry intercourse.
6. The number of Yin absorption in Liujia: the number of heaven and earth is 55 plus the number of five elements, which is the number of Yin absorption in Liujiazi and five elements. On the 10th day, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements intersect with everything, seeking common ground, and making 12 sound synchronously, regardless of silence. According to the river map, the five elements and five elements are imaged ***60. It is the sound number of the five elements of heaven and earth.
7. Comparison between Hutuluo Book and Twenty-eight Stars and the Zodiac.
Confused Luo Shu is closely related to the twenty-eight stars, and it is also a different expression of the same natural law from the western zodiac:
Hutuluo is the basis of Zhouyi. Although there are differences between eastern and western cultures, the celestial bodies in the sky are all the same.
Legends about Hutuluo are scattered in various historical books, but there are different opinions. Here are some common sayings.
One of the legends is:
According to legend, during crouching, the parishioners in crouching "tied ropes and fished in nets" and raised livestock, which promoted the development of production and improved people's living conditions. Therefore, good luck is a godsend. There is a kind of beast, the dragon carries a horse. It has wings and is eight feet and five inches high. It was approved by Longlin and Ling Bo to tread water, like treading water, carrying map points, entering the Tuhai River from the Yellow River (now Baihe and Songzhuang Township, Mengjin County, Luoyang City) and swimming in the Tuhai River. People call it the dragon horse. This is what later generations often say, "the dragon bears the horse." After seeing it, Fu drew a pattern according to the acupoints of the dragon horse. Then, another turtle appeared from Luoshui. Fu got this book with symbols and painted it as gossip. This is what is recorded in the first chapter of Yi * copula. "Rivers paint, Luo writes, and saints write." That is, what Fu said is "gossip, to understand the virtues of the gods and to love everything". Therefore, later generations built a negative figure temple, called the house. In memory of Fu's achievements in pioneering civilization.
The second legend:
It is said that the Yellow Emperor was deeply loved by the people when he was in the Yellow Emperor. At the same time, it also touched the gods, so the weather was good, the grain was abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One day, the gods told the Yellow Emperor that there was a book of dragons and turtles in Luoshui. If you get it, the world will be better governed, so the Yellow Emperor led the people to cruise Luoshui. One day, when it was foggy, I vaguely saw a big fish trapped on the beach. The Yellow Emperor sympathized with the experience of this big fish, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he ordered five animals to be killed and sacrificed to the Emperor of Heaven, and personally knelt down to ask for help from the Emperor of Heaven. Heavenly Emperor was moved. After seven days and seven nights of heavy rain, Luoshui soared and the big fish was rescued. After the big fish left, the Yellow Emperor got the Hutuluo book, namely "Scenery of the River Map", which recorded all kinds of knowledge needed by human beings in hieroglyphics. This is the legendary "Luo Xian". According to legend, the place to get this book is in the south of Luoyang, the ancient city of Han and Wei dynasties, at the intersection of the old Ilo River.
Legend 3:
When the time came, Yao led the leaders to travel eastward to Luoshui. When the sun went down, I accidentally sank the jade into Luoshui, and suddenly I saw a light flashing on Luoshui, and a turtle came out and disappeared. So Yao built an altar beside Luoshui, chose an auspicious day, and seriously sank the jade into the bottom of the river. If you tilt slightly, the bottom of the river will be radiant, and then a cloud will fly, with the sound of spraying and spitting water inside. After a gust of wind, the clouds cleared and it was calm. There is a big turtle shell floating on the water, which is nine feet wide and green. The flat part of the shell is distinct in arts and sciences, with stars and seven political degrees, which records the rise and fall of emperors in previous dynasties. Since then, Yi language has spread among the people. This is the legendary "Gui Ling".
The fourth legend:
According to legend, when Yu Shun, Shun Li, sank in Luoshui, the water suddenly turned red, and the turtle came out with a book. Then a roll of Huanglong, a book in the middle of Shu, gave a red pen to Shun. This is the legendary "Huanglong negative book".
The fifth legend:
Legend has it that when Yu was in charge of water control, Yu came to Luohe and saw the negative character of the tortoise, which was listed on the back, from one to nine, so Yu was the first to become a nine-domain. The Book House Yuan Gui * Imperial Office also said that "Yu Xia was the son of heaven, wrote a turtle book with 65 words, which was Hong Fan, and this so-called book publisher was also". In other words, Dayu has made great contributions to water control, and his virtue in the world is praised by all the people. There is a turtle in Luohe, which is 1.2 feet long and has 65 red characters on its back. Some people say that this is the "Hong Fan" in the history books and the nine laws governing the country.
Li Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Song of Luo": "A turtle is like a square, and the green word becomes again", praising Luo Gui for seeking negative books and bringing light to the Chinese nation. Turtle Book may be what we now call "Oracle Bone Inscriptions".
