001 I Have The Fish
(A group photo of ten people with the words I have the fish written on it is attached below)
How many mysteries are hidden in this photo?
002 Qin Dunjia
The diagram of the eight gates is below. The eight gates are: Rest (Xiun, ), Life (Shengn, ), Injury (Shangn, ), Failure (Dun, ), Pleasure (Jngn, ), Death (Sin, ), Fear (Jngn, ), and Prosperity (Kain, ).
The legends of Qin Dunjia:
What is Qin Dunjia? It is composed of three concepts: Qi (), n (), and Dunjia (). (1)
Qi includes three things: Yi (), Bing () and Ding (). (2)
n includes eight things: Xiu (), Sheng () , Shang (), Du () , Jng (), Si (), Jng (), and Kai (). (3)
Dun ans hiding.
Jia refers to the six Jia (): Jiazi (), Jiaxu (), Jiashen (), Jiawu (), Jiachen (), and Jiayin (). (4)
Dunjia is the most noble among the ten Heavenly Stems and has hidden anings. It is hidden under the Six Yi (), which include: Wu (), Ji (), Geng (), Xin (), Ren (), and Gui (). (5)
The principles of Dunjia are that Jiazi hides under Wu (), Jiaxu hides under Ji (), Jiashen hides under Geng () , Jiawu hides under Xin (), Jiachen hides under Ren (), and Jiayin hides under Gui ().
They also co with nine planets: Tianpeng (), Tianren (), Tianchong (), Tianfu (), Tianying (), Tianrui (), Tianzhu (), Tianxin (), Tianqin (). (6)
The divination of Qin Dunjia is mainly divided into three parts: Heaven plate, Gate plate, and Earth plate. They symbolize three styles.
The nine palaces in the Heaven plate have the nine planets.
The eight palaces of the middle plate (the second circle according to the picture) have eight gates.
The eight palaces of the Earth plate represent eight positions that cant be moved.
At the sa ti, each palace in the Heaven and Earth plate is assigned a specific Qi (Yi, Bing, Ding) and Six Yi (Wu, Ji, Gen, Xin, Ren, Xing, Ren).
As a result, people can use the Six Yi, Three Qi, and Nine Planets to predict things like relationships, traits, the future, or even choose auspicious tis and places according to the specific ti and date.
This constitutes a unique category in Chinese mystical culture Qin Dunjia.

Human-faced snakes (with related illustrations)
Looking at these things, I highly suspect that humans are descendants of snakes.
There is a strange phenonon in ancient Chinese history where a large number of records about gods and spirits are related to snakes.
In the Classics of Mountains and Seas, of the 454 figures that are recorded in the text, 138 are in the shape of a snake. So of the gods and spirits ntioned who have snake-like bodies include Fuxi, Nwa, the Yellow Emperor, and even the Queen of the West.
(I was particularly surprised that the Queen of the West had a human head and a snake body in the original records, and was depicted the sa as Fuxi and Nwa.)
According to current general speculations, this image of human-faced snakes was derived from tribal totems. It was possible that the Queen of the West changed from having a human head and a snakes body to having a human head and a leopards body because the attributes in her tribe had changed.
In other words, maybe the Queen of the West was originally a mber of Fuxis tribe, but sothing happened and she started her own tribe in the west where she reigned.
Whatever the case, we wont be able to know what exactly happened.
Human-faced snakes also represent the male genitalia, especially a very large one. Sure enough, the bigger, the better. It would be better to have two such big ones. You could even tie them in a bow.
004 She Country
An ancient country called She Country was located between Shaanxi and Hubei in ancient tis. But this country suddenly disappeared two thousand years ago.
The history of this country appeared sporadically from ti to ti in many ancient bamboo slips. It seed like there was a period of sudden prosperity in She Country during the early Western Zhou Dynasty, but then the country suddenly disappeared in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Within ten or twenty years, the country in the primitive jungle seed to quickly vanish.
They existed in many myths and legends, and there was also a large number of records in the Classics of Mountains and Seas. The snake country ntioned in the text that was outside of Sichuan should be about this country.
She is a homonym for snakes. This nation treated human-faced snakes as gods, so many decorations had that kind of pattern on them.
Most people who study the history of this country now believe that people in She Country were descendants of the mysterious Huaxu Ancient Country. This dates back to when it was a matrilineal society. This country used human-faced snakes as its totem mainly because the Huaxu Ancient Country had the legend of the human-faced, snake-bodied Fuxi.
Since these materials are all from ancient books and unearthed docunts, the question of whether this country existed or not has always been a controversy among academic circles.
