43.21

四年三月。上親征太原劉繼元。道由潞州麻衣和上院。躬祝於佛曰。此行以弔伐為事。誓不濫殺一人。繼元聞之。極力抵拒。車駕至城下諸軍進攻。時太原城守尚堅博士李光贊。勸上回鑾（音巒。鈴也。天子大輅衡上。金雀口銜鈴曰鑾）宰相趙普以為然。遂班師○處士陳摶受易於麻衣道者。得所述正易心法四十二章。理極天人歷詆先儒之失。摶始為之註。及受河圖洛書之訣。發易道之祕。漢晉諸儒如鄭康成京房王弼韓康伯。皆所未知也。其訣曰。戴九履一。左三右七。二四為肩。六八為膝。縱橫皆十五。而五居其室。此圖縱橫倒正回合交錯。隨意數之。皆得十五。劉牧謂非人智所能偽為。始摶以傳种放。放傳李溉。溉傳許堅。堅傳范諤昌。諤昌傳劉牧。始為鉤隱圖以述之。

In the fourth year [971], in the third month, the Emperor personally campaigned against Liu Jiyuan of Taiyuan. His route passed by the courtyard of the Hemp-Clothed Master (Mayi Heshang) in Lu Prefecture. He personally prayed to the Buddha, saying: 'This expedition is solely for the purpose of chastising the rebellious and condoling the people; I vow not to indiscriminately kill a single person.' When Jiyuan heard of this, he resisted with utmost effort. The imperial carriage arrived beneath the city walls, and the armies attacked. At that time the defense of Taiyuan was still firm. The Erudite Li Guangzan urged the Emperor to turn the imperial carriages back (luan: pronounced luan, a bell; on the imperial grand carriage's crossbar, a golden sparrow holding a bell in its beak is called a luan); the Grand Councilor Zhao Pu agreed, and the army was subsequently withdrawn. / The retired scholar Chen Tuan received the Changes from the Daoist of the Hemp-Clothed [Master], obtaining forty-two chapters of the Mind-Dharma of the Correct Changes composed by him. Its principles fully encompassed heaven and man, successively refuting the errors of former Confucians. Tuan first wrote a commentary on it. When he also received the secrets of the Yellow River Chart and the Luo River Writing, he revealed the mystery of the Way of the Changes, which was unknown to the various Confucians of the Han and Jin, such as Zheng Kangcheng, Jing Fang, Wang Bi, and Han Kangbo. Its formula runs: 'Wear nine, step on one; three on the left, seven on the right; two and four form the shoulders; six and eight form the knees. Vertically and horizontally it is always fifteen, with five dwelling in its central chamber.' This chart—vertically, horizontally, inverted, upright, combined, and crossed—however one counts it at will, always yields fifteen. Liu Mu said it was not something human wit could forge. Tuan first transmitted it to Chong Fang; Fang transmitted it to Li Gai; Gai transmitted it to Xu Jian; Jian transmitted it to Fan Echang; Echang transmitted it to Liu Mu, who first made the Chart of the Hidden Unhooked to expound it.
