What is one, what is two, what is three and what is four?

"One" is the first number recognized by human beings. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it is a horizontal symbol and a symbol of the ancients. Later, "one" had a deeper meaning: the ancients thought that chaos was "one" and divided heaven and earth into two (so there is "one divided into two" in the idiom); Heaven and earth give birth to people, and heaven and earth are three; In this way, everything in the universe was born. 99+ 1, that is, from 1 with the smallest yang number to 9 with the largest yang number, and then back to 1. Refers to the cycle, in the final analysis.

There are heaven and earth on both sides, and the two poles of the universe hide mysteries. Life is two, life is three, and everything is two in one.

"Two" are two horizontal lines, which also indicate the poles of heaven and earth. The upper level is the sky, and the lower level is the ground. If things were represented by numbers, the ancients thought that one was heaven and the other was earth; One is yang and the other is yin; One is dry, the other is Kun ... and the second is quota, which is also the smallest even number.

Three talents, heaven and earth. Three lights, sun, moon and stars. Three cardinal principles and five permanents, both monarch and minister are righteous. Father and son are close, and husband and wife are smooth. Nothing is more suitable for children's songs with "three-character classics" than the three-character classics! There are three everywhere! Third, there are three horizontal lines. The upper horizontal line represents "heaven", the lower horizontal line represents "earth" and the middle horizontal line represents "people".

"Three" has a high status in China. In addition to the three talents, three lights and three cardinal guides mentioned in the San Zi Jing, there are three armies (the upper army, the middle army and the lower army) in the military strategists, three realms in Taoism (heaven, earth and man), three clear in Buddhism (jade Qing, Taiqing and Taiqing), and three hidden in Buddhism (Jing, Fa and Lun) ... The triangle is the most stable, and it is often represented by three.

Write a horizontal character, two calligraphy and paintings and two bars. Three words and three strokes, four words are different. A runny nose, my coat is square. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "four" is four, which means "twice as much as two". The "four" in the bronze inscription is like two noses running down. It is the original word of "Si", and the idiom "Dish Crossflow" means that tears and a runny nose flow all over your face, which is used to describe sadness. Later, the word "four" was added, and "four" was only used to represent numbers.
