II. Architectural scale of the Di Mu Sacred Realm Scenic Area
The height of the drop from the Bagua Square to the platform at the top of the mountain is 55 metres. 55 is the number of heaven and earth, and all things are born from the number of heaven and earth.
To worship the gods on the mountain, mortals must go through a process of climbing from the ordinary to the sacred. Therefore, a total of 365 steps are designed from the mountain gate to the square of the Mother of Earth, symbolising 365 days a year, with each step being 15cm high.
The first trigram of the sixty-four trigrams of the Zhou Yi is the Qian trigram, which symbolises the sky. The Qian trigram is made up of six yang lines that are extremely yang, the phase of extreme prosperity. Counting from the bottom upwards, the fifth line is called Jiu Wu, which means that this line is a yang line and five is the fifth line.
