Earthly alignments are written in the stars

Xishuipo is a Neolithic site in Puyang, Henan province associated with the Yangshao culture. The site was excavated in 1987 and 1988, and 186 burials were discovered. From then, China's fate as an earth power started to be recognized.

In one of the burials, tomb M45, is the body of a tall adult male. He is flanked by two mosaics formed from white clamshells - a tiger to his left and a dragon to his right. Clamshell mosaics were also found in two nearby caches. The burial was accompanied by the bodies of three young children.

Some archaeologists think the man was a shaman, but, according to Lao Tzu, this was the tomb of Huang Di - the Yellow Emperor - despite many believing it belonged to Fuxi.

This extraordinary archaeological find is a vivid example of a feng shui setting. The tomb's orientation and grave are examples of traditional knowledge of cosmological interactions with human beings on Earth.

The grave is aligned with the man's feet to the north and head to the south (an example of mirror reflection of cosmic stars). With a dragon to his east, a tiger to his west, these cardinal directions associated with the dragon and tiger are precisely the same as the correlative cosmology of some 3,000 years later! Cerulean Dragon to the east is the constellation com

A mosaic that was found in the north has been taken to represent the Northern Dipper. Some see this as the map of the heavens, some see tomb M45 as an actual sky map! Such orientation is well-documented with conventional cosmological corrections of the late first millennium BC. Remember, this grave is more than 6,500 years old!

Since the discovery of this tomb China's economy has been on the rise. Feng shui is at work here. Nevertheless, if China wants to keep developing and sustain the level of achievement, a humane side of creating values and virtues is indeed needed.

The Yellow Emperor is one of the legendary Chinese sovereigns and culture heroes included among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Tradition holds that Huang Di reigned from 2697 BC to 2597 BC. The Yellow Emperor is regarded as the initiator of Chinese civilization and the ancestor of all Huaxia Chinese.

Yes, if you are Chinese, he is your ancestor! Thought of the day: Ultimately, it's the Tao that matters and not the teachings - Lao Tzu
