Lei Siqi's River Map

Hebo, Hetu and Dayu.

brief introduction

Fuxi made an in-depth observation on the sun, moon and stars, seasonal climate and the rise and fall of vegetation. However, these observations are meaningless to him. One day, the Yellow River suddenly helped out the "Dragon Horse", that is, at this moment, he suddenly found himself in a strong spiritual shock and deeply felt that there was an inexplicable harmony between himself and the nature he worshipped. He found that the design of the dragon horse coincided with his experience of observing everything naturally. In this way, Fuxi drew "Eight Diagrams" through the dragon horse's pattern and his own observation, and the dragon horse's pattern was called "River Map". In Shan Hai Jing, it is said that "Fuxi has a river map, and Xia people call it' Lianshan'". Fuxi's "refined divination" comes from the astronomical phenomena, and its "root" is the river map;

Origin of river map

The river map and Luo Shu produced by astronomical observation became valuable things for the emperors of the three dynasties. Hetu and Luoshu are simple in structure and are one of the cultural cornerstones of ancient China. Liao Ping, a scholar of Confucian classics in Qing Dynasty, made many textual researches on The Book of Songs, The Book of Changes and The Internal Classic, and confirmed that the theory of The Internal Classic originated from The Book of Changes, and the mathematical theory of The Book of Changes was taken from Heluo.

River map schema

The river map consists of five elements, five elements, yin and yang, and images of heaven and earth. The schema takes white circles as yang, sky and odd numbers; Black dots are yin, earth and even numbers. And the combination of heaven and earth and five elements, and the combination of yin and yang and five elements, so the schema structure distribution is as follows:

First, living in the north with Liuhe, because of natural water, the land is 60%; Two and seven are friends who live in the south, because the land is second only to inflammation, and the sky is 70%; Three and eight live in the east as friends, because the sky is full of trees and the land is 80%; Four or nine live in the west, and gold is born because of the land, and the sky is 90%; Five and ten are in the same place and live in the center, because they were born in five places and the land is 100%. The river map is drawn according to the five-star season. Five stars, called five latitudes in ancient times, are five planets in the sky. Wood is called the old star, fire is called the twinkling star, earth is called the town star, gold is called the white star and water is called the morning star. Five elements of operation, divided into 28 dormitories. Because its orbit is not far from the sun road, the ancients used it to mark the sun. The five stars generally appear in the Arctic sky in the order of wood, fire, earth, gold and water. Each star has a 72-day line, and the five stars circle 360 degrees. It can be seen that the river map is drawn by the five-star sky, which is also the source of the five elements. Because before the winter solstice of 1 1 month every year, Mercury can be seen in the north. When the winter weather comes, everything is dormant, and there are only ice, snow and water on the ground. This is how the concept of water travel was formed. After the summer solstice in July, Mars was seen in the south. It was summer weather and the ground was very hot, so the concept of fire line was formed. At the vernal equinox in March, Jupiter appeared in the east, and just as spring came, plants sprouted and grew. The so-called "spring comes to the world to know the vegetation", and this is how the concept of wooden walking is formed. In September and the autumnal equinox, Venus appears in the west. In ancient times, weapons were represented in many ways to show the season of autumn war, and everything was old and withered, which led to Jin Xing. See Saturn in May, which means that the wet soil atmosphere is in the long summer season, and the wood, fire and gold water all take this as the midpoint. Observing the four seasons climate change caused by wood fire and gold water from the ground, the concept of soil travel is formed in this way.

I. River map image

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. Of the four elephants, each elephant commands seven stars, for a total of 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.

2. The number of river maps

1, number of heaven and earth: river chart with 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 number of intercourse is: one or six people belong to the same clan, two or seven people belong to the same clan, three or eight people are friends, four or nine people are friends, and five or ten people belong to the same clan. It is the number of all things that exist. Therefore, Party A and Party B are one or six cousins, Party B and Party G are two or seven cousins, Party C and Party B are three or eight friends, and Party D and Party B are four, nine, five and ten friends. 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. The yin, yang and five elements of the ten-day dry intersect with everything, seeking common ground, and making 12 sound synchronously, regardless of silence. According to the river map, the north, east, south, west and middle elements are imaged in 60 tones. It is the sound number of the five elements of heaven and earth.

3. 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 the river map are simple, extensive and profound. Let's stop here.

Types of river maps

Liushihe map

Liu Mu in the Northern Song Dynasty called Jiushu a river map. See his Yi Shu Gou Yin Tu and Zhu Zhen's Yi Gua Tu Shuo in Southern Song Dynasty. Liu developed Chen Tuan Dragon Map into River Map and Luoshu.

Two kinds of schema, and the river map is the negative map of the dragon horse, that is, the dragon map. I think: "In the past, the Xi family had the world, and I felt that the dragon and horse were auspicious, and the number of heaven and earth was negative. That's out of the river and for the dragon. Wear nine shoes as one, left three right seven, shoulder two four, foot six eight, abdomen five, vertical and horizontal numbers are fifteen. Gai Yi's so-called participation in changing things is complicated. Taiping is like this, so the number of five elements depends on the four positives. Yang Qi originated from Jianzi, which is the source of occurrence; Yin Qi sprouted from Jianwu, which is the foundation of cold. The second natural gas transportation. Then change, so everything is born and everything is destroyed. " (Yi Shu cross-hatched map) In the map, the white dots are odd, the black dots are even, the sum of odd numbers is 25, the sum of even numbers is 20, and the sum of vertical and horizontal oblique directions is 15, making a total of 45. Liu believes that this number is equal to the great derivative number and the number of heaven and earth, and subtracting five is implicit but not obvious. Zong and Kong Anguo said that gossip originated from the river map. "Tianhe, two lives away, three earthquakes in the sky, and the ground is destroyed.

The four houses are opposite each other, and from the five days, the number of birthdays of these five elements is also. And lonely yin is not born, single yang is not sent, so the child is equipped with land six, noon with land seven, base with land eight, unitary with land nine, and middle with land ten. Because the number of five elements is extremely high, it determines the image of gossip, so it is heavy, 64 hexagrams, 384. The saint set up a divination to observe images. (Book of Changes, Gou Yin Tu) Its theory comes from the theory of Qi in China's hexagrams, the theory of five elements and the theory of nine palaces in Han and Tang Dynasties. Liu tiaohe's theory of five elements and Jiugong's theory show that the river map is the source of gossip.

Cai de he tu

Cai called dozens of maps in Southern Song Dynasty river maps, contrary to them. He and Zhu's book The Enlightenment of the Book of Changes explained this in detail. It is believed that in the section "Number of Heaven and Earth" in the Book of Changes, "Master invented the number of river maps. Right between heaven and earth. Divided into two, it is yin and yang, while the five elements are nature, and everything is always, no matter what. So the location of the river map, I and VI live in the north, II and VII live in the south as friends, III and VIII live in the east, IV and IX live in the west as friends, and V.

Stay with ten and live in the middle. There are so many people, just one yin and one yang. These are just two of its five elements ... five odd numbers make up twenty-five, and five occasionally makes up thirty, so it's two, and fifty has five. "This is the total number of river maps. People think that this picture embodies the order of the five elements, starting from the east, then south, then middle, then west, then north, turning left for a week, and then starting from the east. Left hand from east to south, fire is wood, from south to middle, earth is fire, from middle to west, gold is water, and from west to north. It is believed that the number of river maps is mainly based on the number of people, that is, the number of people is included, the number of people is outside, the middle is the main one, and the outside is the guest. Its orientation: north 16 is water, south 27 is fire, east 38 is wood, west 49 is gold, and 50 is earth.

Centering reflects the process of ending the Qi of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in a year. Explain the biochemical map of the five elements with the theory of hexagrams and qi, and try to get the image of eight diagrams directly from this map, and then explain that the image of eight diagrams comes from the number of heaven and earth and the number of rivers and Luo. It is believed that the relationship between river map and Luo Shu is concrete, practical, complete and changeable. "The river map is based on five students and it is in the same place. It's all about showing people what they say, and counting the body. Luo Shu uses five odd numbers to unify four even numbers, each living in its own place, and the change of Gaiyang unifies Yin, and the number is also used. " "The river map is all-encompassing, so it is extremely high, and even and odd bits are equal. On the basis of its accumulation, we can see that it is uniform and rare. Luo Shu is the main transformer, so the nine middle schools are extremely high, and the positions are even and odd. It must be empty, and then the number of yin and yang is 20, which is biased towards the ear. " (Quoted from the Enlightenment of Yi Learning) Cai's five-element generating map (dozens of maps) is a river map, which has become a popular saying in later generations.

Shiwan River Map

River Map Schema of Outside Inner Circle in Wannian Spring Collection of Qing Dynasty. Mu Yi said: "The river map is covered with a circle with one, three, seven and nine sides, and the number is twenty; Two, four, six and eight are one party, and the number is also twenty; There are 55 in the form of 15, with 10: 00 as the Fiona Fang cloth, where 5: 00 is the square cloth with the inside of the circle on the outside and 5: 00 in the middle. The middle circle is Tai Chi circle, and the outer four circles are square, including ten bags and five. There is also a hidden square in the circle. There is a hidden circle in the square, a yang in the yin and a wonderful yin in the yang. And the middle fifteen, that is, the number of Luo Shu is fifteen in all directions, which is another image of the river map wrapping Luo Shu. The river map points are all tiled, and there is no 20% discount, so is Luoshu. The second, fourth, sixth and eighth editions of Lao Luo Shu are all 20% off. I wonder if the book of Heluo is 2468 ping? Tiles should also be attached. " "River map has Luo Shu body. Luo Shu really has a wonderful use of river map. "In this number, six into one is seven, seven into two is nine, eight into three is eleven, nine into four is thirteen, ten into five is fifteen, a total of fifty-five, all positive. Compared with Luo Shu, the number of yin is relative, and the number of yin is five, which means that yin and yang embrace each other, yang is born in yin, and yin is unified in yang, which is the development of the thought of supporting yang and restraining yin in Zhouyi. Hang Xinzhai, a close friend, thinks that "Wantu is superior to those who only change shape without intention." "However, the body and use of the two numbers are separate and combined, and the solid is very clear. There is no need to change, and the meaning is self-evident. " It also discusses the relationship between Shiwan and Heluo: "In fact, the river map is the body, the book is for use, and the river map is innate. Luo Shu is the day after tomorrow, the river map is useful in the body, and Luo Shu is useful in the body. This means that the circle in the Shiwan map is divided into squares, and the squares contain circles, and the circles also contain squares. " (Wedge easily)

Leisiqi river map

Lei Siqi (123 1- 1302) was born in Linchuan, Fuzhou (now Jiangxi). Wu Song abandoned Confucianism as the Tao, and studied metaphysics with a view of inaction and clouds. In his later years, at the invitation of Shi Tian, a Taoist priest of the 36th generation, he served as a lecturer in metaphysics, giving lectures in Guangxin Mountain, and scholars addressed him as Mr. Kongshan. There are five volumes of Yi Tu Tong Bian and three volumes of Yi Tong Jia Bian in Yi Xue's works.

Yi Tu Tong Bian was written by Yuan Dade Gengzi (1300). There are 40 mistakes in the river map at the beginning of the volume, as well as the map of heaven and earth according to the number, which refers to the complex number of Wu and the general map of two complex changes. Master Lei said that the number of river maps is forty, saying, "The number of river maps is also four-dimensional and forty. Round cloth is the body, and five empty places are used to make it forty, so the number of heaven and earth is fifty-five. " It is said that more than forty pieces of River Map were written before Fuxi, and were used for divination of the holy gate. Lei matched the eight figures in Jiugong Imaginary Number with the eight diagrams in Shuo Gua: matching ridges, roots, earthquakes in Tian San, forks in Di Si, separation in Tian Jiu, cooperation in Di Er Kun and cooperation in Tian Qi.

His River Map Appraisal refers to seeing Chen Tuan's Dragon Map, including the Original Map of Jiugong and the Luoxing Book of 55 pictures, 55 of which are from Zongzhi, while Li Gou's One of the Three Books is Unknown and Misinterpreted as Three. He said: "To make matters worse, this map with 55 figures is a river map that is not worthy of the name, and the river map circulating in southern Tu is actually called Luo Shu. Reverse the mystery and stop at the end. " Liu Mu and Li Gou were accused of taking the number of nine domains and five elements in Hong Fan as "Luo Shu" and "covering up its absurdity", while Zhu and Cai were accused of "taking books as paintings, taking paintings as books and not knowing others". Master Lei's "Luo Shu" can't draw some pictures, saying, "Yute said that a picture has a number to pass, and a book has a number to count, so you can't think of it as a picture."

In fact, Lei's more than 40 black-and-white eight diagrams summarize Liu Xin's eight diagrams, his nine-point black-and-white river diagram and Zhu's Tai Chi theory. The reinterpretation of the map is just a fancy renovation in the history of the development of "River Map". According to the so-called "When the river is out of the picture, you can draw hexagrams, and then you can tell stories", the interpretation of the meaning of the copula "When the river is out of the picture, the book is published, and the sage is right" seems to be close at that time, but today it is divided by the consensus that Yi Zhuan is not entirely for Confucius. This shows the helpless mentality of the literati in feudal society who are bound by the word "holy entry". Lei neither thinks that the connection is "saint Shinto", nor does he advocate the nine-picture river map and Zhu's ten-picture river map. If you still want to interpret cohesion, you can only sum up the theory and deduce a new picture, a new picture.
