By Zhang Xiying The gossip story I am going to talk about is the little-known story of Fuxi, the ancestor of humanities, who painted the gossip that has been circulated in the traditional ancient temple fairs in Huaiyang County, Henan Province for thousands of years.

Speaking of Huaiyang County, many outsiders are not very familiar with it. It is not as famous as Huaibei City and Huainan City, which are adjacent to Anhui Province, and Huaiyin City and Huai'an District in Jiangsu Province. However, when it comes to the costume drama "Bao Qingtian", the

Everyone will no longer be unfamiliar with Chenzhou City.

The popular song "Going to Chenzhou" reminds everyone of the story of Bao Zheng, Bao Qingtian, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who distributed grain in Chenzhou more than a thousand years ago.

The Chenzhou of that year is now Huaiyang County, Henan Province.

Now is the annual traditional Renzuye Temple Fair in Huaiyang, Henan (from February 2nd to March 3rd in the lunar calendar). Pilgrims from hundreds of miles from all over the world gather there to worship. It is really a sea of ??people, thousands of people moving, and the sound of people.

The crowd is boiling, with three on top and four on top.

Huaiyang is also the birthplace of the Chen surname. It not only has a long history, but is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. In history, it has been the founding of the country three times and the capital five times. It is commonly known as: "See Beijing in a thousand years, Xi'an in three thousand years, and see Xi'an in five thousand years."

Anyang, look at Huaiyang for eight thousand years."

There is the vast Long Lake, covering an area of ??more than 16,000 acres, which is 2.5 times the size of West Lake in Hangzhou. It is also the largest lake around the city in my country.

Fuxi's Guagua Platform, Baigui Pond, Xiange Platform, Sicheng Zhenzi Pavilion and Suzi Reading Platform and many other famous ancient books are like bright pearls scattered in the lake.

Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum, Fuxi's former capital Wanqiu, the West Garden of the great Song Dynasty poet Zhang Yong, and Wei Caozhi's Siling Tomb are located on the shore of the lake.

Huaiyang (Chenzhou) is like a palace of history and culture.

It is said that in ancient times, human beings knew nothing about nature. All natural phenomena such as weather changes, the movement of the sun and the moon, human birth, old age, illness and death, etc., caused people to have a lot of puzzles. Therefore, when people encountered these unanswerable questions

At that time, he went to Wanqiu to ask his son Fuxi, who was revered as the God of Thunder. Sometimes Fuxi felt at a loss and couldn't answer, and people lived in fear every day.

One day, Fuxi came to the Cai River to fish. He caught a white turtle. He felt very strange and thought, wasn't this the same white turtle that saved the lives of my brother and sister back then?

This white turtle must be the reincarnation of the divine turtle, so he quickly dug a large pool and raised the white turtle.

One day, when Fuxi was putting food into the Baigui Pond, someone came to him and told him that there was a monster in the Cai River.

He hurriedly came to the Cai River to take a look, and saw the monster saying that a dragon was not like a dragon, and that a horse was not like a horse, walking up and down on the water as if walking on flat ground.

From then on, Fuxi held the patterned leaf all day long and carefully studied the patterns on it, but he could not figure out the mystery.

That day when he came to the White Turtle Pond, he suddenly heard the sound of water in the pond. When he looked closely, he saw that the white turtle swam in front of him from the bottom of the water, looked at him with bright eyes, then nodded to him three times, and turned its head towards him.

His stomach shrank, and he lay motionless by the water.

Fuxi faced the white turtle and observed it attentively.

Gradually, he discovered that the pattern on the white tortoise cover had five blocks in the middle, eight blocks around it, twelve blocks in the outer circle, and twenty-four blocks in the outermost circle. He suddenly became enlightened, realized the changing laws of the world, and instantly drew

Eight different patterns.

After Fuxi drew the Bagua diagram, it made the Emperor of Heaven uneasy all day long, so the Emperor of Heaven ordered his generals to go down to the mortal world to see what strange things were going on in the human world.

Fuxi used the Eight Diagrams to figure out the Emperor's intentions. In order to prevent the Heavenly General from finding out the Eight Diagrams he drew, he buried it in the ground and planted a cypress tree on it.

When sealing the soil, he stamped his left foot, his right foot, south, and north, causing the cypress tree to fall to the right from the left, to the left from the right, to the north from the south, and from the north to the south.

The general was so confused that he couldn't find out where the Bagua map was.

Today, there is still a square mound in the Huancheng Lake in the east of Huaiyang. It is said that it was the place where Fuxi drew the Bagua, so people call it the Bagua Platform.

There is a Bagua Pavilion in the center of the stage, with Fuxi's innate Bagua pattern painted on the ceiling of the pavilion.

There is also a crooked cypress tree to the east of Bagua Pavilion. Legend has it that it is the magical Bagua cypress.

There is a deep lake south of Bagua Tai, where Fuxi raised white turtles, called Baigui Pond.

There is also a yarrow garden in the north of Fuxi's tomb in Taihao Mausoleum. The yarrow leather is very hard and Fuxi used it to draw the Eight Diagrams.

This herb cannot be found elsewhere. There is also yarrow in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong. Legend has it that Confucius brought it back to his hometown from here.

Later generations called Fuxi Bagua Fuxi Xiantian Bagua, and named the eight hexagrams Qianqian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Zhen, Xun, Dam, and Li, which respectively symbolize heaven, earth, mountain, Ze, wind,

Thunder, water, fire.

Using three paths as a group, eight figures are transformed, one yin and one yang, rotating and moving, yin and yang wax and wane, and change in countless ways.

The eight trigrams form sixty-four hexagrams, and together with the changes in the six lines, the changing patterns of nature can be inferred.

If four, five, or multiple channels are used as a group, more hexagram shapes can be changed, so as to be infinite.

Fuxi, the founder of Chinese humanities, opened the sky with a painting, which was a leap in the history of human understanding of nature. From then on, mankind entered the era of civilization.
