He Tu and Luo Shu: The Mysterious River Diagrams That Created the I Ching
A dragon-horse rose from the Yellow River with a diagram on its back. A divine turtle emerged from the Luo River with a grid on its shell. These two images became the foundation of the I Ching, Bagua, and Feng Shui.
He Tu (River Diagram) and Luo Shu (Luo Writing) are the two most mysterious artifacts in Chinese civilization. Fu Xi saw a dragon-horse with a cosmic grid — the He Tu — which became the template for the Eight Trigrams. Yu the Great saw a turtle with a magic square — the Luo Shu — which became the template for Feng Shui's Nine Palaces. These two images encode the mathematical order of the universe. The magic square sums to 15 in every direction. The number arrangement maps directly to the Five Elements cycle. No one knows who carved them. Learn more at lunaxstar.com.
