One of the first sovereigns of ancient China circa 2800 BCE, Fuxi was known as one of the Three August Ones, and one of the Five Emperors. A Chinese cultural hero, he taught the people how to fish with nets and how to cook. He also help invent the Guqin stringed instrument with the assistance of Shen Nung and Huang Di. Fuxi established an earthly moral social order and regulatory principles that included the institution of marriage after contemplating heavenly pictograms, signs, and symbols; and, then correlating them to earthly events, occasions, and occurrences. Credited with the development of calligraphic writing, Fuxi has also been recognized as the originator of the Yi Jing (Zhou Yi, I Ching). After reading and interpreting the He Map (Yellow River Map); as well as, deciphering and understanding the revelatory markings on the back of an ancient Giant Tortoise shell, Fuxi composed the bāgùa trigrams arrangements. The initial eight trigrams were devised by him to help humanity gain better control over their daily lives by understanding and regulating the flow of the five stages of change.
Later Yi Jing
compilations with arrangements that deviated from the divinely inspired patterns
of the eight bāgùa trigrams originally cognized by Fuxi (such as the
sixty-four hexagrams developed circa 2061 BCE and recorded in the Lian Shan)
often tend to negate the overall efficacy and effectiveness of the original
Yi Jing.
The Sacred Site focal point of Hierarch Füxi and the Eighth Ray of Divine Coordination is the Jiuzhaigou Valley Nature Preserve which is located at the southern end of the Minshan Mountain Range in northern Sichuan Province in China. Encompassing anywhere from 240 to 600 square kilometers, Jiuzhaigou Valley varies in altitude from 1,998 metres at the entrance to Shuzheng Gully to 4,764 metres on Mount Ganzigonggai at the summit of Zechawa Gully. The landscape of the area is comprised of high-altitude karsts and rock layers consisting of dolomite, sandstone, shale, and tufa. One of the sources of the Jialing River, which is the source of the Yangtze River, Jiuzhaigou Valley includes a catchment area with three large gullies big enough to be called valleys themselves. Renown for its abundance of multi-level waterfalls and colourful blue, green, and turquoise hued clear water lakes, Jiuzhaigou Valley, Valley of Nine Villages, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992 and a World Biosphere Preserve since 1997. Local flora include temperate broad-leaf forests and woodlands, with ecologically mixed highland and mountain systems. In the autumn, the forests are attractively arrayed in colourful hues of red, orange, and yellow. Varieties of Bamboo and Rhododendron are endemic to the area; and, almost 300 square kilometers of the main scenic area are covered with old growth, virgin mixed forests. Local fauna includes 140 species of birds. Jiuzhaigou Valley also provides habitat for small isolated populations of the giant panda and golden snub-nosed monkey endangered species.
