Chapter 113: Taiji Stone
"This light!" a shadow passed in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
Following the rich purple light, I leaned forward, and the small box seemed to be much more delicate than the others.
I couldn't wait to open it, but a copper lock stumped me.
The lock is a cylinder with several wheels of the same size tied to it, each of which is engraved with a different symbol, and the specific details are not clear.
Chinese locks have a long history, according to the unearthed cultural relics and historical documents, the development of locks has a history of 5,000 years. In the Neolithic period, the bones of Yangshao culture were wrong, and the stone error was the prototype of the key. In ancient times, the awl made of bones to untie knots was the prototype of the ancient key. Therefore, it is one of the oldest locks in our country. The ancient lock was originally called oyster, closed, key, chain, and bowl. In the early days, it was a bamboo and wood structure, which originated from the door latch. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to Luban, a Tang Ao organ was set up in the wooden lock, and a metal reed structure lock (also known as a groove lock) made in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When entering the Tang Dynasty, most of them were gold, silver, copper, iron, and wood. In the Ming Dynasty, it became four categories: wide locks, citi locks, jewelry locks, and torture locks. After the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China to the fifties of the last century. The ancient lock craftsmanship is exquisite and mysterious, and the cultural connotation is rich. Carved lettering such as: champion and first, longevity and wealth, unicorn send-off, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, etc. In particular, the fish-shaped lock is an example, in the "Shibata Lu": the door lock must be a fish, and it is not a vigil. Fish is also auspicious every year. The ancient lock also means wealth, so there is a donkey key horseback lock. Later, it is derived to the eternal love, the eternal family, and the eternal health of the body, and it seems that all good wishes are contained in it. According to records, the earliest locks made of wood were fragile and could only be used as symbolic locks. The metal lock first appeared in the Han Dynasty and was a reed structure lock. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of ancient locks, mainly copper and iron. In the 50s of the last century, low-cost low-weld hook locks, blade locks, and bullet locks entered the Chinese market one after another, and China's ancient locks have since withdrawn from the historical stage. Through the vicissitudes of the ancient lock, we can appreciate the profound history and culture of China.
"It's a wide lock, and, moreover, a combination lock!" I concluded, in the faint light.
Although I know what this lock is, but it is difficult, one is not to know how many ways to permutate and combine the password, and the other is that even if you want to forcibly open it, there is no suitable tool, and I am afraid that forcibly opening the lock will cause damage to the treasure in the box, after all, this purple light must be a treasure light!
I stroked it gently, this box, the carving is very fine, although it is not big, but it is very heavy.
I looked at it as I fiddled with the wheel, the locks were a little rotten due to the patina.
"Click. With a crisp sound, the spring of the copper lock flicked open.
"Opened?" I was surprised, but I couldn't wait to open the box.
In the box, there are two pairs of bracelets, which are very eye-catching even in the dark.
The name "Jade Mandarin Duck Bracelet!" popped into my mind.
However, the light of the yoyo treasure does not come from this shocking bracelet, but a stone under the bracelet.
I feel some tingling on my scalp.
I stared at the stone, trying to know what it was, but I couldn't answer it.
I patted my head and said, "This is Tai Chi." "Laughing and scolding myself for being stupid, such an obvious answer depends on abilities.
Tai Chi is the process of elucidating the universe from infinity to Tai Chi to the transformation of all things. Among them, Tai Chi is the state before heaven and earth are opened, and chaos is not divided into yin and yang. The two instruments are the yin and yang of Taiji. The "Dictionaries" also says: "Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip." It means that all things and phenomena in the vast universe contain yin and yang, as well as the two sides of the surface and the inside. However, they are both opposed to each other and dependent on each other, which is the general law of the material world, the program and origin of many things, and the root cause of their emergence and destruction.
This stone is black and white, bounded by the center of the circle within the same circle, and two equal yin and yang fish are drawn to represent the interrelationship of all things. The yin fish is black, and the yang fish is white, which is a representation of day and night. The head of the yang fish has a yin eye, and the head of the yin fish has a yang eye, which means that all things are transforming and penetrating each other, there is yang in yin, yin and yang are yin, yin and yang are combined, and they are mutually reinforcing.
"That's too realistic, isn't it?" I exclaimed, not finding any traces of an axe.
This Tai Chi depicts the principle of yin and yang sympathetic birth to all things in the Yin and Yang theory of the Book of Changes, and the principle of mutual transformation of mass and energy expounds the principle of energy balance to create biomass. The comparison between the two is indeed a striking fit and even completely identical, and it also fully proves that the same truth will inevitably produce different paths and the same result. Here, comparing the Yin and Yang instruments in the Book of Changes with the basic high and low energy levels in the principle of mass and energy transformation, it can be considered that the Yin instrument is the basic low energy level, and the Yang instrument is the basic high energy level, and the two are collectively called a order energy level. The combination of a single yin and yang is less yang and less yin, that is, a single basic high and low energy level can only constitute a basic energy system, and after equilibrium, the basic material particle - the proton is created. Because the equilibrium rotation direction has positive and negative, resulting in two forms of protons, that is, positive and negative protons with different polarities, such as if the less yang is the positive proton, the less yin is the antiproton, they are the simplest first-level substance, called a heavy substance. If there are only first-order energy bits and one heavy matter in the universe, then the specific pattern of the universe will be the overall structure of the two instruments, with less yin and less yang, and less yang on the right and left.
The dual combination of yin and yang has four forms, the four images in the I Ching. Old Yin and Old Yang are not substances but second-order energy levels, and less Yin and Young Yang are heavy substances. The four elephants as a whole are a mixed system of second-order energy and one heavy matter, and after equilibrium, a second-level material system is created, which is called a two-layer material system. If the universe were composed only of two layers of matter, the specific pattern of the universe would be a diagram of the overall structure of the four images.
In the principle of mutual conversion of mass and energy, energy balance creates biomass, and material imbalance is converted into energy, which is the process of Wuji giving birth to Taiji and Taiji returning to Wuji in the Book of Changes. In particular, the balance of the energy systems of each order creates all series of material systems from protons to the universe, and this process is closely in line with the principle that Taiji gives birth to all things. This theory of yin and yang and energy balance of creating biomass is the grand unity theory of creating all matter from the micro to the macrocosm. The combination of the two theories further completes this theory.
In the scientific Tai Chi Bagua diagram, the Yin Yi is regarded as the basic low energy level, and the Yang Yi is regarded as the basic high energy level, so the Yin and Yang Fish depicts the general law of energy balance to create all things, and the Bagua Elephant depicts the general law of the specific structure of energy balance to create biomass, so the Scientific Tai Chi Bagua Diagram is a large unified model that depicts the creation of all matter from micro to macro.
"This Tai Chi Stone is amazing!" I sighed at the magic of this stone, and my hands felt very warm.
