Tai Chi, Two Instruments, Three Talents, Four Elephants, Five Elements, Liuhe, Seven Stars, Eight Diagrams, Jiugong and heavenly stems and earthly branches; Who can know what it is?

It should be: one yuan, two instruments (two qi), three talents, four elephants, five elements, six rivers, seven stars (seven nights), eight diagrams, nine palaces and ten squares.

Monism: that is, chaos, the beginning of heaven and earth, all initial, out of nothing, one life, innate, is for chaos.

Two qi: also known as two instruments, namely two instruments of yin and yang, also known as two qi of yin and yang, and two qi of yin and yang in life. Chaos turns into Yin and Yang, and the clear air (i.e. Yang Qi) rises to the sky, while the turbid air (i.e. Yin Qi) sinks to the ground. Yin and Yang Can can also be transformed into each other: the anode produces Yin, the cathode becomes Yang, and the exchange of Yin and Yang is called Tai Chi.

Three talents: heaven, earth and people. Yin and yang, transforming heaven and earth, and educating people from heaven and earth, three talents began to emerge.

Four images: refers to fire, water and wind, two instruments give birth to four images, and two instruments refer to yin and yang, which are derived from fire, water and wind. In the traditional culture of China, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu are the representatives of the four elephants. Qinglong represents wood, white tiger represents gold, Suzaku represents fire, and Xuanwu represents water. They also represent the east, west, north and south directions respectively. In "Twenty-eight Nights", four images are used to divide the stars in the sky, also known as four gods and four spirits. In the theory of astronomical yin and yang in the Spring and Autumn Period, it refers to the natural weather in four seasons, which are called Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin and Taiyin respectively. The traditional orientation of China is that the south is above, which is different from the modern north. Therefore, when describing the orientation of the four elephants, they will also be represented by Zuo Qinglong (east), You Baihu (west), Qianzuzha (south) and Houxuanwu (north), which echoes the orientation of the five elements (East Muxijin, North Shuinanhuo). The concept of "Four Elephants" was highly valued in ancient Japan and Korea, which were often called "Four Saints" and "Four Holy Beasts". It is worth noting that, although recently influenced by Japanese pop culture, I began to get used to this statement, but in fact, China never said four icons. Generally speaking, the four saints are Fuxi, King Wen, Duke Zhou and Confucius. The four images also refer to wind, rain, thunder and electricity, four natural weather and meteorology.

Five elements: Five elements are China's ancient material view. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The five elements refer to: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is believed that nature is composed of five elements, and with the rise and fall of these five elements, nature changes, which not only affects people's fate, but also makes everything in the universe circulate endlessly. According to the Five Elements Theory, everything in the universe is made up of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water, which is caused by the lack of understanding of the world in ancient China. It emphasizes the whole concept and describes the structural relationship and movement form of things. If Yin and Yang are an ancient theory of unity of opposites, the five elements can be said to be a primitive general system theory.

Liuhe: refers to the four directions of heaven and earth (namely, up, down, left, right, front and back).

Seven Stars: In China traditional culture, it can be used to represent the highest day among the 28 hotels. Commonly known as the Big Dipper: Shu Tian, Tian Xuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.

Bagua: A set of symbols in ancient China. With "one" for Yang and "-"for Yin, three such symbols form eight forms, which are called Eight Diagrams. Each six-pointed star represents something. Dry represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, ridge represents water, far represents fire, earthquake represents thunder, roots represent mountains, rafters represent wind, and pairs represent ze. Eight diagrams are matched with each other to get sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and personnel phenomena. Based on the diversity of people and things in today's society, Wang, a mainland scholar, perfected the three hexagrams and superimposed them to form 5 12 hexagrams, which significantly improved the prediction accuracy. In traditional Chinese medicine, gossip refers to eight acupoints around the palm.

Jiugong: Dry Palace, Dry Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Zhong Palace, Xun Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace and Dui Palace. Among them, Gan, Kan, Gen and Zhen belong to Siyang Palace, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui Palace, and Zhonggong * * * is Jiugong. Jiugong represents the earth and the earth in Daoism and is the foundation of Daoism. Taoism is divided into four parts: heaven, earth, man and god. Of the four plates, only the site does not move, and it will sit quietly. Xu Yue's Shu Shu Ji Yi in the Han Dynasty: "The number of nine palaces and the five elements are similar to each other." Northern Zhou Zhen Luan's note: "Nine palaces, that is, two or four are shoulders, six or eight are feet, three are left and seven are right, nine are worn, and five live in the middle." The method of "nine palaces" is used in many aspects. In the Han Dynasty, there were nine palaces for occupation, nine palaces for exercise, nine palaces for calculation, nine palaces for eight winds, nine palaces for descending by Taiyi, and nine altars for taiyi, which were applied to occupation, art, calculation, medicine, latitude and construction.

Ten directions: Buddhism originally refers to ten directions, namely, heaven, earth, east, west, south, north, birth gate, death position, past and future.

Another one:

Heavenly stems and earthly branches: referred to as "dry branch". In the ancient calendar of China, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui were called "ten heavenly stems", while Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai were called "twelve earthly branches". Ten branches and twelve branches are matched in turn to form sixty basic units, and they cooperate with each other in a fixed order to form branches and branches. Judging from the Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in Yin Ruins, in ancient China, the trunk and branch were mainly used to record the days, as well as the months, years and hours.
