Fuxi’s Guagua Platform is known as “the best platform in the world”. It is now located on the shore of the Caishui River, 15 kilometers east of Shangcai County, Henan Province. According to legend, Fuxi, the founder of humanities and the leader of the Three Emperors, led the tribesmen to move eastward along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and established their capital in Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan). Later, when he traveled south to Gucai (today's Shangcai County), the Night Dream Fairy took him to fly more than thirty miles east of Gucai. I saw yarrows growing thickly here and turtles glowing like a fairyland on earth. Fuxi followed his dream to find this place, and found that yarrow was lush and turtles were in and out. There are hundreds of yarrow stems, green leaves and purple flowers, and a refreshing fragrance. "At night, there are green clouds covering it above, and white turtles guarding it below." The white tortoise has been there for thousands of years. Fuxi regarded it as a sacred place, so he used the stems of yarrow and the armor of the white tortoise to create the innate Bagua here, which started the Chinese civilization, so he named this place Cai. In memory of Fuxi, later generations built a large-scale Fuxi Temple here. Later it was also called Baigui Temple, also known as Baigui Temple.
The Baigui Temple was built in the Han Dynasty. It was called Xihuang City in the Song Dynasty and Xihe Village in the Ming Dynasty. There are currently three Fuxi Halls, a yarrow garden in front of Fuxi Hall, and a Fuxi Painting Gua Pavilion on the west side. The Hua Gua Pavilion is built on a 2-meter-high octagonal brick platform. The pavilion has an octagonal pointed glazed tile roof and bluestone columns, which stand on an octagonal brick platform. Under the eaves of the pavilion are engraved the eight characters "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Li, Kan and Dui", symbolizing the Eight Diagrams. The pavilion door opens to the south, and there are couplets engraved on the bluestone frames on both sides: "Look up and look down to see a painting of the way of heaven and earth, and count the six lines to know the ancient and modern treasures." Beside the pavilion is engraved "Fuxi Paintings" inscribed by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Gua Stele" is connected. The yarrow that remains today has flourished for thousands of years. According to folklore, yarrow can ward off evil, attract good fortune, embalm corpses, and cure serious illnesses. The "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" written during the Warring States Period and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty both listed yarrow as a top-grade medicine, and it is known as the auspicious sacred herb in the world.
[Now under renovation...] It is said that Fuxi's Bagua Pavilion is in the center, with Fuxi's innate Bagua hanging on it. There are two stone turtles in the Bagua Pavilion, each with a blue stone tablet. . One book "Opens things into fog" and the other book "Innate Essence". There is a bluestone abacus in front of Fuxi Bagua Pavilion. Bluestone Abacus Scattered Abacus. It looks like both Hetu and Luoshu. But a closer look shows that he is neither Hetu nor Luoshu. For many years no one was able to uncover the secret. The "stone abacus" is a spiritual object used by Fuxi when he drew hexagrams, and the heavenly secrets it contains are something we can understand.
There is an ancient cypress next to Fuxi Bagua Pavilion. People call it "Bagua Cypress". Bagua Bainan looks southward, and northward looks northward. According to legend, Fuxi revealed the secret of heaven by drawing hexagrams, fearing that the Emperor of Heaven would find out about it and find out the gossip. So the Bagua was buried in the center of the Guahua platform. In order to make it easier to find, a cypress tree was pulled out from the southeast corner of the platform and replanted as a mark. Just like this, the left foot and the right foot are tamping the soil. As a result, it looks like it is tilted south when looking south, and tilted north when looking north. Isn't "Bagua Cypress" similar to Fuxi's "Bagua Array"?
The Gua Platform is famous because Fuxi used a long horizontal line to represent "Yang" and two short lines to represent "Yin", and then combined the drawn Qian, Kun, Dui, Xun, Zhen, The Kan, Gen and Li Bagua diagrams turn and move, the yin and yang wax and wane, and the changes are endless. In addition to the eight trigrams, sixty-four hexagrams can be formed. Coupled with the changes in the six lines, the changing patterns of many things in nature can be inferred. The gossip does contain simple materialistic thoughts. Bagua, the "Wordless Book", is playing a huge role in various fields of exploration in natural science.
