The sky is lofty and the earth is humble; "Gangua is high, Kungua is low" is determined accordingly. The position of heaven and earth has been arranged, and the title has been determined. The movement of heaven and earth is regular, and the sky is just soft. Birds of a feather flock together, and birds of a feather flock together, which leads to mixed fortunes. The sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the sky have formed various astronomical phenomena, and rivers, mountains, vegetation, insects and fish on the ground have formed the earth environment, and changes have also been shown. So different things represented by rigidity and softness rub against each other, and various substances represented by gossip agitate with each other. And encourage them with thunder and moisten them with wind and rain. So the sun and the moon will never stop running, and the cold and summer will never end. The dried melon representing the sky becomes a symbol of men, and the Kungua representing the earth becomes a symbol of women. The function of heaven lies in great creation, and the function of earth lies in nourishing everything. Heaven shows its wisdom with simplicity and its ability with simplicity. Because people are easy to understand, but also because it is simple and easy to follow. Easy to be understood makes people close and easy to obey.

Understand the truth between heaven and earth, the position system of Yin and Yang is naturally established.
