Before heaven and earth were separated, the world was in a state of chaos. It was vast and boundless, and no one could be seen.

"Ever since Pangu broke the Primordial Chaos, he opened up the distinction between clear and turbid."

"If you want to know the Art of Gathering Origin of Creation, you have to read the Biography of Journey to the West."
If you want to know how nature creates and nurtures (all things in the world), as well as Yuan and Hui (under the concepts of time units and other related concepts), you have to read the Journey to the West.(Here, the Journey to the West can be understood as a biography about the Tang Monk's journey to the west to resolve the disaster. The original name of Journey to the West may be for this.)

"I heard that the number of years in the world is 129,600. Divide a yuan into twelve meetings, which are the twelve branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Every meeting should be 18,000 years old."
It is said that the fate of heaven and earth is based on 129,600 years. One Yuan was divided into twelve meetings, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Every time, it should be 10,800 years.

"Let's talk about a day. When the sun rises, the rooster crows. When the sun rises, the sun rises."
Take a day as an example: Yang qi began to be produced at Zi Shi, and the rooster crowed at Chou Shi. At Yin Shi, the sky was not yet bright, and the sun came out at Mao Shi. Chen Shi was after breakfast, and then it was Si Shi. At noon, the sun was in the middle of the sky, and at the end of the day, the sun began to shift westward. At Shen Shi (in the evening, probably in the afternoon), the sun began to set and completely set at You Shi. At dusk, people were already asleep.

"For example, when the Great Number reaches the end of Xuhui, the world will be dark and all things will be gone. After another 5,400 years, at the beginning of Jiaohai, it will be dark, and the two people will be gone, so it is called chaos."
In terms of the concept of big numbers (the cycle of heaven and earth), if it was the end of the gathering, then heaven and earth would be dim and hazy, and the state of all things would not be good. In another 5,400 years, when the Hai Meeting began, it would be in darkness. There would be no one or anything in the world, so it was called chaos.

"Another 5,400 years. The Hai Meeting is about to end. The Zhenxia Meeting is about to begin. The Son Meeting is about to begin, and it is gradually becoming more and more open-minded."
After another 5,400 years, the Hai Hui was about to end. From the beginning of the next Yuan (the beginning of the cycle), when it was close to the Zi Hui, it began to gradually become brighter.

"Shao Kangjie said,'Halfway through the winter solstice, the heart of heaven will not change. When the sun first moves, before all things are born. At this point, the heavens will begin to take root."
Shao Kangjie said,"When the winter solstice is halfway through the Zi (hour), the center of the sky (or the law of the sky, etc.) has not changed. At the place where yang qi has just begun to sprout, before all things have yet to be born." At this time, the heavens began to have a foundation.

"In another 5,400 years, just as the Zi Hui, the light will rise. There will be the sun, the moon, the stars, and the stars. The sun, moon, stars, and stars are called the four symbols."
After another 5,400 years, it was time for the Zi Hui. Qing Qing (the concept of light and substance, which can be understood as the concept of light and light) rose up, and there was the sun, moon, stars, and stars. The sun, moon, stars, and stars were called the Four Symbols.
