The River Picture and the Luo Book are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China. Historically; the River Picture: the sky is filled with water, the earth is 60% of it, and the 16th clan lives in the north (in the picture; The two earths create fire, and the sky seven make them. The two sevens are in the same direction and live in the south (the upper part in the picture is south; the three heavens make wood, and the earth makes eighty parts of it). The three and eight are friends and live in the east (the left is east in the picture; the four parts of the earth make metal, The sky is ninety-nine, and the four-nine are friends and live in the west.
The Hetu and the Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns handed down in ancient China. They have always been considered the origin of the Heluo culture. It is the source of Chinese culture, Yin Yang and Five Elements. It was first recorded in "Shang Shu", followed by "Book of Changes", and has been described by many schools of thought, including Tai Chi, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Jiuxing, Feng Shui, etc. All of them can be traced back to this point. "Book of Changes" says: "When the river comes out of the map, Luo writes the book, the sage follows it." According to legend, during the time of Fu Xi in ancient times, a dragon and horse appeared in the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang. Carrying the "River Map" was dedicated to Fu Xi, which later became the source of the "Book of Changes". According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Yu, a magical turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoyang West Luoning County, carrying the "Luo Book" on its back. Dedicated to Dayu. Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods and divided the world into Jiuzhou. He also established nine chapters of laws to govern the society. It was handed down and included in "Shangshu" and was named "Hong Fan". It is said: "The river produces the map, the Luo produces the book, and the sage follows it", which refers to these two things.
The river map: The sky creates water, the earth is 60% of it, and the 16th ancestral clan lives in the north. ,
The second part of the earth makes fire, and the sky makes up the seven parts. The two and seven are together and live in the south.
The three parts of the sky make wood, and the earth makes up the eight parts. The three and eight are friends and live in the east.

The four elements of the earth are made of gold, and the nine parts of the sky are made of them. The four and nine parts are friends and live in the west.
The five parts of the sky are made of earth, and the ten parts of the earth are made of them. The fifty parts are on the same road and live in the middle.

Luoshu: Wearing nine shoes, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, and five are on the belly.
In the traditional theory, The innate Bagua is drawn according to the river diagram, which can be said to be the source of all qi and the application of Yangzhai. The five elements of counting are based on the river diagram and are more widely used. The odd-numbered white dots in the above picture are yang, and the even-numbered black dots are yin. , is the earth. The ancients believed that the water vapor in the north is the strongest and is the place where Yang Qi is first born, so it is matched with one. One is Yang, so it is called "Tian Yi", which is water, so it is called "Heaven generates water". There must be success, and it is matched with six, and the sixth is yin, so it is called "the six percent of earth". When the sun rises in the east, the yang energy gradually becomes strong, and it is matched with three. The third is yang and is called "three heavens", which is wood. , so it is called "Tian San produces wood", and the eight elements are used to match it, and it is called "the earth is eight percent of it".
Wood cannot grow apart from the soil, and the earth is the middle earth, so it is called "Tian Wu". When the yin energy in the south is first generated, it is matched with two, which is called "the two earth generates fire". When it is matched with the seven yangs of the sky, it is called "the qicheng of heaven". When the sun sets, the yin energy is strong, and the four elements are matched with each other, which is called "the four elements of the earth generate gold." The combination of the nine elements is called "the nine elements of heaven." The yang energy in all directions is formed by yin, and the yin energy is formed by yang. It is the yin and yang wood that generates fire, the fire that generates the earth, the earth that generates metal, and the metal that generates water. The five elements are related to each other and are interdependent. At the same time, from the clockwise direction, water generates wood, the source of the growth of all things, and then it is relatively restrained (one-six water restrains two-seven fire, and four-nine gold restrains thirty-eight wood), which means there is life and restraint. If the birth and restraint are appropriate, all things can be empowered. Leverage each other's strength and achieve balanced development. It can be seen from the picture that one and six belong to water, so the number one and six is ??water, and the same is true for two-seven, three-eight, four-nine, and fifty. Jue says:
One or six people belong to the same sect, twenty-seven are on the same path, thirty-eight are friends, forty-nine are friends, and fifty are on the same journey.
