CHEN Ruixiang. Relationships between the Primordial Bagua Diagram, Hetu( 《河 图》) and Luoshu( 《洛 书》) as well as the Manifested Bagua Diagram[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2024, 65(24): 2510-2518.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2024.24.003.
Based on the knowledge background of ancient Chinese technology, including odd-even numbers to
yin
-
yang
, diurnal (day-night) cycle and annual (four seasons) cycle, changes of solar light manifestation and land surface temperature, a method of deduction and verification for
Hetu
(《河图》) and
Luoshu
(《洛书》) was proposed in this paper. To ensure the scientific rigor of research, the equivalent numbers to
yin
-
yang
were defined, and the diurnal as well as annual cycle models under coordinate system were constructed. On this basis, the
Hetu
and the
Luoshu
were derived by means of the variation regulations of solar irradiance and surface atmospheric temperature within one day and one year, which provided a solid foundation for the correct comprehension and application of
Hetu
and
Luoshu
. In addition, it was proved that
Hetu
and
Luoshu
could be derived from each other by using the equivalent numbers to
yin
-
yang
, which means the feature of unity. Multiple equivalent numerical forms for
