What are Luo Shu and He Tu?

Legends about Hutuluo are scattered in various historical books, but there are different opinions. Here are some common sayings.

One of the legends is:

According to legend, during crouching, the parishioners in crouching "tied ropes and fished in nets" and raised livestock, which promoted the development of production and improved people's living conditions. Therefore, good luck is a godsend. There is a kind of beast, the dragon carries a horse. It has wings and is eight feet and five inches high. It was approved by Longlin and Ling Bo to tread water, like treading water, carrying map points, entering the Tuhai River from the Yellow River (now Baihe and Songzhuang Township, Mengjin County, Luoyang City) and swimming in the Tuhai River. People call it the dragon horse. This is what later generations often say, "the dragon bears the horse." After seeing it, Fu drew a pattern according to the acupoints of the dragon horse. Then, another turtle appeared from Luoshui. Fu got this book with symbols and painted it as gossip. This is what is recorded in the first chapter of Yi * copula. "Rivers paint, Luo writes, and saints write." That is, what Fu said is "gossip, to understand the virtues of the gods and to love everything". Therefore, later generations built a negative figure temple, called the house. In memory of Fu's achievements in pioneering civilization.

The second legend:

It is said that the Yellow Emperor was deeply loved by the people when he was in the Yellow Emperor. At the same time, it also touched the gods, so the weather was good, the grain was abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One day, the gods told the Yellow Emperor that there was a book of dragons and turtles in Luoshui. If you get it, the world will be better governed, so the Yellow Emperor led the people to cruise Luoshui. One day, when it was foggy, I vaguely saw a big fish trapped on the beach. The Yellow Emperor sympathized with the experience of this big fish, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he ordered five animals to be killed and sacrificed to the Emperor of Heaven, and personally knelt down to ask for help from the Emperor of Heaven. Heavenly Emperor was moved. After seven days and seven nights of heavy rain, Luoshui soared and the big fish was rescued. After the big fish left, the Yellow Emperor got the Hutuluo book, namely "Scenery of the River Map", which recorded all kinds of knowledge needed by human beings in hieroglyphics. This is the legendary "Luo Xian". According to legend, the place to get this book is in the south of Luoyang, the ancient city of Han and Wei dynasties, at the intersection of the old Ilo River.

Legend 3:

When the time came, Yao led the leaders to travel eastward to Luoshui. When the sun went down, I accidentally sank the jade into Luoshui, and suddenly I saw a light flashing on Luoshui, and a turtle came out and disappeared. So Yao built an altar beside Luoshui, chose an auspicious day, and seriously sank the jade into the bottom of the river. If you tilt slightly, the bottom of the river will be radiant, and then a cloud will fly, with the sound of spraying and spitting water inside. After a gust of wind, the clouds cleared and it was calm. There is a big turtle shell floating on the water, which is nine feet wide and green. The flat part of the shell is distinct in arts and sciences, with stars and seven political degrees, which records the rise and fall of emperors in previous dynasties. Since then, Yi language has spread among the people. This is the legendary "Gui Ling".

The fourth legend:

According to legend, when Yu Shun, Shun Li, sank in Luoshui, the water suddenly turned red, and the turtle came out with a book. Then a roll of Huanglong, a book in the middle of Shu, gave a red pen to Shun. This is the legendary "Huanglong negative book".

The fifth legend:

Legend has it that when Yu was in charge of water control, Yu came to Luohe and saw the negative character of the tortoise, which was listed on the back, from one to nine, so Yu was the first to become a nine-domain. The Book House Yuan Gui * Imperial Office also said that "Yu Xia was the son of heaven, wrote a turtle book with 65 words, which was Hong Fan, and this so-called book publisher was also". In other words, Dayu has made great contributions to water control, and his virtue in the world is praised by all the people. There is a turtle in Luohe, which is 1.2 feet long and has 65 red characters on its back. Some people say that this is the "Hong Fan" in the history books and the nine laws governing the country.

Li Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Song of Luo": "A turtle is like a square, and the green word becomes again", praising Luo Gui for seeking negative books and bringing light to the Chinese nation. Turtle Book may be what we now call "Oracle Bone Inscriptions".

He Tu Luo Shu He Tu and Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China. They have always been regarded as the origin of Heluo culture and the source of Chinese civilization, and are known as "cosmic cubes". According to legend, in ancient Fuxi, the dragon horse appeared from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, bringing a "river map" to Fuxi. Based on this, Fuxi became a gossip and later became the source of Zhouyi. According to another legend, when Dayu was in power, a turtle appeared in Luoyang Luohe, carrying a "Luoshu" on his back and giving it to Dayu. Dayu succeeded in harnessing water on this basis, so he decided that the world was Kyushu. Based on this, nine chapters of Dafa were established to govern society, which was circulated in history books and named Hong Fan. The Book of Changes says, "Rivers paint, Luo writes and sages write", which refers to these two things. On the river map, black spots and white spots arranged in several arrays contain infinite mysteries; The sum of the three numbers on the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines in Luoshu is equal to 15, which is very wonderful. Scholars at home and abroad have conducted long-term exploration and research on this issue, believing that it is the crystallization of the spiritual thinking of Chinese ancestors and the first milestone of ancient civilization in China. The Book of Changes and Hong Fan play an important role in the history of China's cultural development, and have far-reaching influence on philosophy, politics, military science, ethics, aesthetics and literature. As the source of China's history and culture, Hetuluo's works have contributed a lot.

Hutuluo is the source of China culture, with yin and yang and five elements. It was first seen in Shangshu, and later described by hundred schools of thought in Yi Zhuan. Tai Chi, Eight Diagrams, Zhouyi, Liu Jia, nine planets, Feng Shui and so on can all be traced back to this point. 1987 Xingyi Tomb unearthed in Xishuipo, Puyang, Henan Province, dating back about 6500 years. The images of dragons, tigers and white tigers painted with shells in the tomb are lifelike, almost exactly the same as those in modern times. The river map has four elephants and 28 dwellings. Its layout is related to the geography of the stars in form and meaning, and it will be informed that it will be excavated when it is buried. In the same year, Anhui Hanshan Turtle-bellied Jade was a statue of Luo Shu, about 5,000 years ago. It can be known that people had mastered the physics of heaven and earth, the number of river maps and Luo Shu at that time According to experts' research, the star map in Xingyi Tomb can be compared with that of 25,000 years ago. This shows that Shao Yong and other sages think that "the river map and Luo Shu are ancient star maps", and their words are true.

First, the image of the river map

The river map uses ten black and white dots to represent the four images of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and its picture is square. As follows:

North: There is a white dot inside and six black dots outside, which indicate Xuanwu astrology and five elements of water.

East: There are three white spots inside and eight black spots outside, which represent Qinglong Star and Wuxing Tree.

South: There are two black spots and seven white spots outside, indicating the five behaviors of Suzaku and fire.

West: There are four black spots and nine white spots outside, representing the white tiger star and the five elements of gold.

Center: five white dots inside and ten black dots outside, representing the singularity of time and space, five elements of soil.

(Where odd numbers are white dots for Yang and even numbers are black dots for Yin. Among the four elephants, each elephant commands seven stars and has twenty-eight nights. ) The above is the river map. Among them, according to the orientation of the ancient constellation facing south, the four elephants are: former Suzaku, later Xuanwu, Zuo Qinglong and right White Tiger. This is the origin of geomantic pictograms.

Second, the number of river maps.

1, number of heaven and earth: the river map * * * has 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Where 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is yang, and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is yin. Yang adds up to 25, Yin adds up to 30, and Yin and Yang add up to 55. Therefore, the ancients said: "The number of heaven and earth is five out of fifty", that is, the number of heaven and earth is fifty-five. "Being a ghost is also a change". That is, the number of everything is just the number of heaven and earth.

2. The number of existing things: water is above the sky, and the ground is 60%; 70% of the fire days ranked second; There are three trees in the sky, 80% of the land; The land is rich in gold, and the sky is 90%; Heaven is born in five places, and the land is 100%. So one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold and the fifth is earth. Six is the quantity of water, seven is the quantity of fire, eight is the quantity of wood, nine is the quantity of gold, and ten is the quantity of soil. Everything has a number, and it can only be born when it is born; Everything has a number, and it can only be achieved if it can be achieved. Therefore, everything has its number.

3, the number of five elements: the number of five elements is the number of five elements, namely water one, fire two, wood three, gold four, soil five, also known as the number of small eyes. One, three and five are positive numbers, and its sum is nine, so nine is the number of anodes. Two or four is a negative number, and its sum is six, so six is a negative number. The number of yin and yang is 15, so it is the number of five elements of yin and yang when converted into Luo Shu, and it is 15 in both vertical and horizontal directions.

4. The number of big swallows: the number of big swallows is 50, that is, the number of five elements taking soil is10; It is also the number of heaven and earth. The number of heaven and earth is 55. Subtract the number of Xiaoyan from the number of Xiaoyan to get the number of Dayan 50, where Xiaoyan is the number of heaven and earth and Dayan is the number of heaven and earth. The so-called "the number of swallows is fifty, and it uses forty-nine" is the method of predicting divination by using the number of swallows: taking one as the body and forty-nine as the use, so it uses forty and nine.

5, dry days: dozens of river maps, but also the number of more than ten days. The mating times are: one, six * * * clans, two, seven kindred spirits, three, eight friends, four, nine friends, five, ten kindred spirits. It is the number of all things that exist. Therefore, Party A is one or six sects, Party B is 27 sects, Party C is 38 friends, Party D is 49 friends and Party E is 50 sects. After ten days of dry intercourse, it became the five elements of dry intercourse, and the body of five elements of river map became the five elements of dry intercourse.

6. The number of Yin absorption in Liujia: the number of heaven and earth is 55 plus the number of five elements, which is the number of Yin absorption in Liujiazi and five elements. On the 10th day, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements intersect with everything, seeking common ground, and making 12 sound synchronously, regardless of silence. According to the river map, the five elements and five elements are imaged ***60. It is the sound number of the five elements of heaven and earth.

Third, the principle of river map

1, left-handed principle of river map: sitting north facing south, Zuo Dong right west, aquatic wood, wood fire, fire born soil, native gold, gold born water, is the left-handed phase of the five elements. Center does not move, one, three, five, seven, nine, positive turn left; Two, four, six, eight, ten, negative left hand; They all rotate clockwise, which is the operation of the five elements. As we know, galaxies like the Milky Way are right-handed from above and left-handed from above. So "anger goes up like a horn." So the left hand is in harmony with the sky, and the right hand is spinning the sky. So whether life is good or bad, the life of left-handed people is also good.

2. Pictographic theory of river map: River map is a star map, which is used in geography, so it looks like the sky and the earth. In the sky, the image is three walls and twenty-eight lodges, and underground, green dragons, white tigers, suzaku, Xuanwu and Tang Ming are formed. The image of the sky is wind and kindness, and the shape of the earth is dragon and water, so it is feng shui. It's the luck of the stars and the gas of the terrain. Therefore, four images and four shapes are the spirits of heaven, earth and five elements.

3. Reasons for the five elements of the river map: The river map sets the innate position of the five elements, namely, East Wood and West Gold, South Fire and North Water, and Middle Earth. The five elements are left-handed, and the middle-earth spins. Therefore, the five elements of the river map are born together, which is the reason why everything is born together. Soil is virtue, so the five elements are born with the virtue of good life.

4. The theory of Yin and Yang in the river map: the soil is the middle yin, the four images are the outer yang, and the theory of internal and external Yin and Yang; Wood fire is yang, and gold water is yin, which is the principle of combining yin and yang; The five elements have their own yin and yang, which is the principle that yin and yang are mutually rooted and homologous; The middle earth is static, and the four images are moving. This is the principle of the movement of Yin and Yang. If the river map is square and forms a circle, the wood fire is yang, the golden water is yin, and the yin soil and the yang soil are black and white fisheye, it is a red map. At this time, water is lunar, fire is sun, wood is shaoyang, and gold is shaoyin, which is the four images of Tai Chi. Therefore, the river map is used for yin and yang, and it is also the source of easy images. One is the embodiment of yin and yang.

5. Congenital principle of river map: What is congenital? Man regards heaven as heaven, and heaven regards man as heaven. People rule the sky, people belong to the sky, and people are the same as the sky. It doesn't matter who they are. At this time, heaven is innate. People can know the sky, but they can go against it. Man is heaven, and heaven is heaven, so it is the day after tomorrow. Innate principle, all things and five elements coexist, mainly based on hair growth. Acquired principle, all things and five elements contain each other, mainly extinction. According to the river chart theory, the earth is in the middle and everything is in harmony, and the left hand is in harmony. Because the earth is in the middle, it is relatively blocked, so the congenital theory was born in the left-handed spiral. Moreover, the principle of river map is that the squares are static, so the river map is mainly static.

The image, number and reason of river map are simple and easy to operate, and emerge in endlessly. Let's stop here.
