Introduction to the works of "Lianshanyi·Yu Dayu's Flood Control Short Stories"
This collection takes Dayu's majestic journey to control floods as the context, and connects a series of concise and profound short stories, which not only lays out the difficulties and dangers of water control in ancient times, but also digs deeper into the origins and practical wisdom of Lianshan Yi.
The story begins with a critical situation where the floods are raging and the people are in disarray. Dayu was ordered to bid farewell to his family and embark on the road of flood control. Unlike his father Gun who was paranoid about "blocking" water, Dayu traveled throughout the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou to observe celestial phenomena and geography. Following the wisdom of Fuxi's Bagua painting, in the process of observing mountain shapes and identifying water potential, he gradually deduced and perfected the "Lianshan Yi" headed by Gen Gua. In the short story, every step of decision-making in flood control is integrated with the Yi hexagram of Lianshan. When opening a road through mountains, the key meanings of "stop" and "storage" of the Gen hexagram are used to plan and guide strategies;
From the sequence of Fuxi's Eight Diagrams to determine the world, to Dayu's performance of Lianshan Yi to solve the problem of water control, this book clearly outlines the continuous lineage of ancient Yixue, making "Lianshanyi" no longer an obscure ancient book symbol, but a practical tool in the hands of Dayu to channelize hundreds of rivers and stabilize Kyushu. The tortoise shell patterns and hexagrams and prophecies hidden in the book echo the stories in the subsequent "Turtle Shell Ark" series, laying the groundwork for the legend of Yixue that spans time and space.
This is a collection of short stories that contains ancient wisdom. When you turn the pages of the book, you can see the magnificent epic of Yu the Great's flood control, and you can also understand the profound connection between the Lianshan Yi and Chinese civilization.
Purpose: 1. Tracing the birth of Lianshan Yi, interpreting its historical inevitability derived from Dayu's practice of water control and inheriting the wisdom of Fuxi's Bagua.
