Listening to Guo Songtao talk about the Hetu Luoshu, Xiao Beiyou has been thinking about the changing trend of the number of techniques, thinking about the relationship between the Hetu Luoshu and the formation, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the Hetu Luoshu is very mysterious.

At this time, Guo Songtao continued: "Hetu Luoshu has a very close relationship with the Five Elements and Yin and Yang Theory, for example, Hetu can be regarded as the Five Elements Generation Diagram, which can be regarded as the innate position of the Five Elements, the wood in the east, the gold in the west, the fire in the south, the water in the north, and the earth dwells in the middle. The five elements are born from the left, and the earth is in the middle of the rotation, so the five elements of the river map are born together, containing the principle that all things are born together, and the earth is virtuous, so the operation of the five elements means that there is a virtue of good life in the future. From the perspective of yin and yang, the earth is yin in the middle, and the four images are yang on the outside, which is the principle of yin and yang inside and outside; wood and fire are born of yang, and gold and water are born of yin, which is the principle of yin and yang, water and fire; in the five elements, there is yin and yang intersecting, and life is endless, which is the principle of yin and yang being rooted in the same origin; the middle earth is static, and the outer four images are moving, which is the principle of yin and yang movement and stillness. If the square of the river map is turned into a circle, the wood fire is yang, the gold water is yin, and the yin and yang soil are black and white fish eyes, it becomes the Taiji diagram. At this time, water is Taiyin, fire is the sun, wood is less yang, and gold is less yin, that is, the four elephants of Taiji. It can be seen that the principle of yin and yang in the river chart is the source of the image. ”

"Listening to Master's analysis, the more I feel the mystery of the river map, the ten groups of numbers in the river map, their arrangement and combination, contains multiple yin and yang intersection corresponding to the change of the truth, and at the same time with the five elements of the mutual restraint is linked, according to which you can observe the changes of external objects, observe the sky, observe the terrain, and the formation can be regarded as a typical form of the change of the number of the river map, Master. The apprentice understands it like this, I don't know if it's right?" Xiao Beiyou said with understanding.

"That's right, it's this principle, let's leave the relationship between the river map and the formation behind, let's take a look at the wonders of Luoshu first, in fact, Luoshu and Taijitu are connected, Luoshu contains the ancient yin and yang fish Taijitu, you already know, Luoshu is 'Dai Jiu Yi. Three from the left and seven from the right. Two or four are the shoulders, six or eight are the feet, five are in the middle, and the five white circles are all yang. The four black dots are the yin number'. Other words. The south side of Vena is 4, 9 and 2 from left to right, the north side is 8, 1 and 6 from left to right, and the east side is 4, 3 and 8 from top to bottom. West Gate from top to bottom is 2, 7, 6 three numbers, and the number 5 in the center, as long as 2, 6, 4, 8 four corners of the four directions to make a circle, and then through 2, 7, 5 three directions to make a semicircle, and then 8, 3, 5 three directions to make a semicircle, two semicircles in the central point 5 connected, and in 2, 8 two points tangent to the great circle, and then in the center of the two semicircles to draw the yin and yang two points, this constitutes the Taiji diagram, two through guò 2, 7, 5, 3, 8 The curve of the five azimuth points divides the great circle into two halves, the upper half is yang and the lower half is yin. Guo Songtao analyzed.

"It's really wonderful, the nine numbers of Luoshu, drawing lines at the appropriate points, can actually draw the Taiji diagram, this is a very interesting example of the unity of the number and the image, Master, the apprentice is becoming more and more interested in the river diagram and Luoshu you said. Xie Jiayao said.

"From the point of view of the arrangement of the number of techniques, Luo Shu is the number of nine palaces, with one, three, seven, and nine as odd numbers and yang numbers, and two, four, six, and eight as even numbers, which are yin numbers. The yang number is the main number, ranking in the four positives, representing the qi of the sky; the yin number is supplemented, ranking in the four corners, representing the qi of the earth; the five are in the middle, belonging to the qi of the earth, and are the ancestors of the five elements. Some people believe that the number of the nine palaces in Luo Shu is obtained by observing the celestial phenomena, and the number of nine palaces can be obtained by carefully observing the stars from the four corners of the central Linyu from the Beidou handle. In fact, Luo Shu also contains the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, for example, the number of the nine palaces to the right, that is, to overcome the yang with yin, is the principle of reverse restraint, the middle earth to overcome the northern water, the northern water to overcome the western fire, the western fire to overcome the southern gold, the southern gold to overcome the eastern wood, the eastern wood to the central earth, the yin before the yang back, the yin and the yang to move, the static to brake. Guo Songtao said.

"Master, you first talked about the river map, and then you talked about the Luo book, so the river map and the Luo book are independent patterns, or what is the close relationship between the river map and the Luo book?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"Legend has it, Hetu, Luo Shu is a separate appearance, at that time, the relationship between them is very close, if the two pictures are put together, it is not difficult to find that Hetu, Luo Shu contains a closely related relationship between the number of techniques, and Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, the five elements, Bagua, sixty-four hexagrams, etc. are also interconnected, and the close relationship between them contains a very wonderful truth. Since the Han Dynasty, many scholars believe that the river map and Luo Shu are the longitude and latitude of each other, the river map is the body, and the Luo book is used; the river map is the main constant, the Luo book is the main change; the river map coincides, the Luo book is redivided; the river map is the main square, the Luo book is the main circle, the square circle is hidden, the yin and yang hug each other, and they are used for each other and are inseparable. Zhu Xi and Cai Yuanding believed: 'The main part of the river map is complete, so it is extremely ten; the main change of Luo Shu is the extreme of nine, and the river map is in the same square with the number of five lives and five percent, and the cover is all to show the people and the way is normal, and the body of the number is also." Luo Shu to five odd numbers and four even numbers and each dwells in its own place, covering the main Yang to unify the Yin and cause its changes, the use of numbers also. Moreover, some Heluo experts also discovered the way of Hetu and Luoshu. The outer four circles are distributed with six black dots, eight black dots, seven white dots, and nine white dots, and the four numbers form a square. Moreover, the middle ten of the river map surrounds five, which is fifteen in the middle, which is consistent with the number of fifteen in the vertical and horizontal of Luoshu, which means that the river map can wrap the magic of Luoshu. The white dots 1, 3, 7, and 9 of Vena and the black dots 2, 4, 6, and 8 form a circle, surrounding the white dot 5 in the middle, which is a dynamic circular diagram, and Vena as a circle, and the river diagram as a square, which are interconnected and echoed, isn't it very interesting?" Guo Songtao said.

"Master, you combine the Hetu and Luo Shu with the principle of the square circle of the sky and the round place, which is very interesting, this can expand a lot of imagination, listen to what the master just said, the apprentice has the knowledge and understanding, the Hetu and Luo Shu will be odd and even, yin and yang, The interactive relationship of the square circle is expressed in the form of patterns and magic numbers, the river map as the five elements to generate the map, is the embodiment of the heavenly square, the Luo book as the nine palace number map, is the embodiment of the circle of the earth, the river map has the ontological factors of the Luo book, the Luo book uses some of the wonders of the river map, the two are useful in the body, and there is a body, which is the echo and interaction between the square and the circle. In the relationship between Fang Yuan and Yin and Yang, generally speaking, the circle is a symbol of Yang, representing positive, active, and enterprising things, such as the sun, day, rigid, healthy, male, Jun, big, entering, up, positive, etc.; It contains the change and development trend of things, and the change of the formation should also be related to this, right?" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Master, Beiyou, Jia Yao has just become interested in Hetu and Luoshu, and you have talked about the changes in the number of Hetu Luoshu and Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, etc., it is too complicated to want to go in, and it is too headache, it should be gradually mastered from shallow to deep, from simple to complex, so that it will not be so headache, of course, Beiyou has studied with Shi Taosheng on the Hanging Temple, and now listening to Master Professor, it is much easier than Jiayao. Xie Jiayao said.

"Beiyou is good, he understands quickly, and he does learn faster than Jia Yao, but Jia Yao don't be discouraged, the old man is sometimes faster when explaining, mainly for your next step of in-depth study to put forward a guide, like the law and trend of the change of the number of techniques in Hetu and Luoshu, which can not be mastered by listening to the old man explain once or twice, you must explore it yourself, Knowing and rehearsing, in order to gradually understand the truth, the old man studied for nearly ten years to know some truths, if you can figure it all out in a few hours, then the old man is not too stupid, and you are too smart, I'm afraid it is not so easy. Guo Songtao said.

Xie Jiayao has been looking forward to her grandfather doing his best to teach Xiao Beiyou the secrets of the formation, but what her grandfather and Xiao Beiyou talked about was the number and philosophy of Hetu and Luoshu, and did not talk about the content of the secrets of the formation.
