Who left the Tai Chi map?

Chen Tuan and Zhou Dunyi, Taoist priests in Song Dynasty.

Chen Tuan was a Taoist from the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty, and he had profound attainments in Taoist thought and Yi-ology. According to historical records, Chen Tuan once handed over Taiji, Bagua, Hetu and Luoshu to students for planting and stocking, and passed them to Mou Xiu, Li Ji and others respectively. Later, Mu Xiu passed the Tai Chi map to Zhou Dunyi. Zhou Dunyi's Taiji diagram illustrates this point. The Tai Chi map I saw was handed down by Zhou Dunyi.

Taiji map is called "the first map of China". From the beams and columns of Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple to the signboards of Laozi's Louguantai, Sanmao Hall and Baiyun Temple, from the cassock to the fortune teller's divination pavilion, from the cover and emblem of China Qigong, from martial arts and China culture to the pattern of the Korean flag, the Singapore Air Force aircraft badge and the Boer Medal badge.

This famous taiji diagram, whose shape is similar to the correction of yin-yang fish, is called "Taiji diagram of yin-yang fish".

Extended data:

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.

The taiji diagram of "Yin and Yang Fish" is related to Taoism. Hu Weiwei's views in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are basically credible. This relationship is mainly reflected in the thoughts of Inner alchemy and Yin and Yang studies. The Taiji diagram of Yin-Yang fish can not be directly derived from the quantitative diagram of fire and water and the three-five-to-fine diagram.

There is no textual research on whether the Taiji diagram of "Yin and Yang Fish" was created or started to spread by Chen Tuan or Xue Weng, a recluse in Shu or a recluse in Qingcheng Mountain. We can only doubt it, and we can't easily deny it or simply affirm it.
