At this time, Heaven first had a foundation. 5,400 years later, in the middle of Phase l, the light and pure roseupwards, and sun, moon, stars, and constellations were created. These were called the Four Images. Hence thesaying that heaven began in I. Another 5.400 years later, when Phase I was nearing its end and Phase Il was imminent, things graduallysolidified. As the Book of Changes says, "Great is the Positive; far-reaching is the Negative! All things areendowed and born in accordance with Heaven." This was when the earth began to congeal. After 5,400 morevears came the height of Phase Il. when the heavy and impure solidified. and water, fire, mountains. stoneand Earth came into being. These five were called the Five Movers. Therefore it is said that the Earth wascreated in Phase Il. After a further 5,400 years, at the end of Phase Il and the beginning of the Phase Ill, living beings werecreated. In the words of the Book of the Calendar, "The essence of the sky came down and the essence ofearth went up. Heaven and Earth intermingled, and all creatures were born." Then Heaven was bright andEarth was fresh, and the Positive intermingled with the Negative. 5.400 years later, when Phase Il was at itsheight, men, birds and beasts were created. Thus the Three Powers--Heaven, Earth and Man--now had theitset places. Therefore it is said that man was created in Phase Ill. Moved by Pan Cu's creation, the Three Emperors put the world in order and the Five Rulers laid down themoral code. The world was then divided into four great continents: The Eastern Continent of Superior Body.the Western Continent of Cattle-gift, the Southern Continent of Jambu and the Northern Continent of KuruThis book deals only with the Eastern Continent of Superior Body. Beyond the seas there is a country calledAolai. This country is next to an ocean, and in the middle of the ocean is a famous island called the Mountainof Flowers and Fruit. This mountain is the ancestral artery of the Ten Continents, the oripin of the Threeslands: it was formed when the clear and impure were separated and the Enormous Vagueness was divided. Itis a really splendid mountain and there are some verses to prove it:
