MessageI would suggest that he tu and luo shu and all the other diagrams are just models capturing space and time, just like pythagoras used numbers, as chinese developed models of systems of correspondences, they just took aspects of life and put them into these models, very simple, as they learned more about life they put them into all the models, some fit well, some don't and get forced to fit.
I Ching evloved over time, as the culture learned more they put everything into it, what we know as i ching now is not what it was in the Zhou, I dont think we should assume they some how knew all this info and just kept a secret. And it does not stop, as we learn more about medicine, we put it in these models, it never ends and they can be put into any models. 64 does not go into 365, so we make it fit. 60 bimomials dont fit into 365 days, we make it fit. 12 channels dont go into 8 gua, we make it fit, never mind 11 into 8, which predates nei jing.
Qi,
bauga
