conclusion

1. The ideological origin of "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji Diagram can be pushed to the concept of Yin and Yang in primitive times, but the related figures and symbols in primitive times are not and cannot be directly derived from "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji Diagram.

2. The Taiji diagram of Fish in Yin and Yang is related to Taoism, and some views of Hu Weiwei in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are basically credible, mainly reflected in the thoughts of Inner alchemy and Yin and Yang studies. Similarly, the "fire and water wide map" and "three to five to fine map" can not directly derive the "Yin and Yang fish" Taiji map.

3. The viewpoint that Chen Tuan or Xue Weng, a recluse in Shu and a recluse in Qingcheng Mountain initiated or began to spread the Taiji diagram of "Yin and Yang Fish" can only be doubted, and cannot be easily denied or simply affirmed.
