Chapter 2134: Heluo Mystery

Hetu and Luoshu are two mystical patterns handed down from the very ancient times of 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 "Book of Changes", and it was recorded by hundreds of later scholars. Among them, the record of Yi Zhuan is the most famous: "It is a born in the past, and the saints do it; the heavens and the earth change, and the saints die; the heavens see good and bad, and the saints appear; the river produces the "picture", and Luo produces the "book". The saint does."
Chinese Taiji, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Jiuxing, Abacus, Feng Shui, etc., and even the of Buddhist Tantric Buddhism can be traced to this point.

What were the original shapes of Hetu and Luoshu? With the passing of the centuries, it is difficult for today's Chinese people to find out the truth, but from the remnants of historical records, its roots can be said to be extremely ancient.
As early as the initial period of ancient humans, it is said that according to some characteristics of natural objects, the saints imitated the engraved on the turtle backs and animal bones as an experience to warn people's survival.
Because it is the accumulation of experience, it is often more efficacious. To a certain extent, it can turn people into auspiciousness. Later, they are gradually regarded as auspicious things for gods.
This can be confirmed by the large number of unearthed oracle bone inscriptions carved on turtle backs and animal bones, and the content is mostly divination.
The ancestors of China's distant ancestors admired turtles and dragons, and there are many records in ancient myths and pre-Qin classics handed down.
For example, in the book "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", the tortoise is mentioned more than once, and it is also related to longevity and auspiciousness.
Divine tortoises and dragon horses, as well as snakes, deer, bears, scorpions, braves, brave, tigers, tigers, and some flying birds, may be the totem worship of the ancestors of different tribes in the early days, and the logos of different tribes... .

And all of this is inextricably linked to the mountain and sea world in this mythology~
There is a record in Huaxia's "Records of the Five Emperors": "Emperor Yan wants to invade the princes of the mausoleum, and the princes will return to the Yellow Emperor. The emperor cultivates virtue and revitalizes the army, governs the five qi, five kinds of arts, fuses the people, and saves the four directions. Pai, Yao, Xiu, and Tiger fight with Emperor Yan in the field of Banquan, three battles and then get their aspirations."
This is a record in the history of China that Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang once fought for the wilderness in Banquan. The battle was fierce and cruel. It was said that the battlefield at that time was bloodshed. Although there are exaggerations, But it can show that the war was really intense.
In this war, the Yellow Emperor was able to drive bears, warriors and other beasts to participate in the battle, which added a lot of mythological color to this war.
And these beasts were worshipped as totems of some tribes at that time, and different tribes followed the Yellow Emperor to participate in battles with their distinctive clan logos.
In some Chinese legends, the Battle of Banquan ended with the victory of the Yellow Emperor. It led to the fusion of the Yan and Huang tribes. The ancestor tribe of the Chinese nation formally formed and developed into the main component of the Chinese nation.
The Huangdi clan is a tribe with dragon as its clan symbol. So later, the dragon became a symbol of the Chinese nation.
The myth of the Battle of Banquan is actually a record and explanation of the historical events of the battle between the Neiyan and Huang tribes in the mountains and seas.
