Chapter 2134

Hetu and Luoshu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient times in China. They have always been regarded as the origin of Heluo culture and the source of Yin Yang and five elements.

It was first recorded in Shangshu and Yizhuan, and it was recorded by many schools of thought. Among them, Yi Zhuan is the most famous one: "it is because of the natural deity, the sage is it; the heaven and earth change, the sage is the reason; the heaven and earth appear auspicious and ominous, the sage image; the river out of the map, Luo out of the book, the sage is it."

Chinese Taiji, eight trigrams, Zhouyi, Liujia, Jiuxing, abacus, fengshui, and even the ten thousand characters of Buddhism can be traced to this place.

...

what was the original shape of Hetu and Luoshu? With the turn of the century, it is difficult for today's Chinese people to find out the truth. However, from the residual records of some historical records, its root can be said to be extremely ancient.

As early as in the early period of ancient human beings, according to some characteristics of natural objects, sages imitated and engraved on tortoise shells and animal bones in order to serve as a warning for people's survival.

Because it is the accumulation of experience, it is often more effective, to a certain extent, it can make people lucky, and later it was gradually regarded as a divine and auspicious thing.

This can be confirmed by the fact that a large number of oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in ancient times were mostly carved on tortoise shells and animal bones, and the contents were mostly divination words.

Ancient Chinese ancestors worshipped tortoise and dragon very much, which are recorded in the ancient myths and pre Qin classics.

For example, in Zhuangzi's xiaoyaoyou, there is more than one mention of the tortoise, and it is also related to longevity and auspiciousness.

Tortoise, dragon and horse, snake, deer, bear, crab, tiger, and some birds may all be the totem worship of the ancestors of different tribes and the logo of different tribal peoples...

...

and all these are inextricably linked with the mountain and sea boundary in the myth and legend ~

there is a paragraph in historical records of the five emperors of China It is recorded: "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes of the mausoleum, and the princes returned to the Yellow Emperor. The emperor is to cultivate morality, invigorate soldiers, rule five Qi, five kinds of Arts, to comfort the people, to measure the four sides. Teach the bear, the bottom, the dog, the tiger, so as to fight the Emperor Yan in the field of Osaka spring, and then gain his ambition after three battles. ".

It is recorded in Chinese history that Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi once fought for the great famine in the mountains and seas in the mountains and seas. The war was very fierce and cruel. They said that the battlefield at that time was bloody. Although there were exaggerations, it can be seen that the war was really fierce at that time.

In this war, the Yellow Emperor was able to drive the bear, the bottom and other beasts to fight, which added a lot of mythological color to the war.

These beasts were regarded as totem worship of some tribes at that time, and different tribes followed the Yellow Emperor to fight with their own distinctive clan marks.

In some Chinese legends, the battle of sakazawa ended with the victory of the Yellow Emperor, which led to the integration of the two major tribes: Yan and Huang. The ancestor tribe of the Chinese nation was formally formed and developed into the main component of the Chinese nation.

The Yellow Emperor clan is a tribe with dragon as its mark. So later, the dragon became the symbol of the Chinese nation.

The myth of the battle of sakazawa is actually a record and explanation of the historical events of the war between the two tribes in Shanhai boundary at that time
