Merger proposal[edit]

CLOSED

Agree to merging of article(s). There is general agreement here that the merge should occur, but with low participation, such a merge would border on a BOLD edit. Interested editor may proceed with merging, but be aware. The title can be settled following the procedure. Non-Administrative closure-- GenQuest ^"scribble" 07:24, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Formal notice has been received from user:GUT412454 to merge Yellow River Map and Lo Shu Square. Please discuss the proposal below, and in particular please also discuss the merger target.

Proposer's rationale: They are the same article in zhwiki, and they are usually mentioned together in Chinese. Felix QW (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a merger. However, the question would be do we keep the current title or add the 洛書 part? Adding it would make the page title rather long. If it is to be added, then the name "Lo Shu Square" should not be kept, I don't think. Anna Seidel (in Imperial Treasures and Taoist Sacraments) referred to it as "the Luo inscription", which is much better. Retinalsummer (talk) 16:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Retinalsummer: As the merge discussion has now been closed and you seem to know the subject matter, it would be great if you could assist with merging the articles. Felix QW (talk) 11:31, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GUT412454: Also pinging original proposer. Felix QW (talk) 11:32, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. They're separate topics from the same myth, there's enough material to keep them separate, and any combined title would be more of a pain than the current arrangement. — LlywelynII 05:35, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The diagram at the top of the article[edit]

It's upside down.

The numbers associated with Water (1 and 6) are located in the north, reflecting the association of Water with the north in Chinese philosophy.

The numbers for Wood (3 and 8) are located in the east, reflecting the association of Wood with the east in Chinese philosophy.

The numbers for Metal (4 and 9) are located in the west.

The numbers for Fire (2 and 7) are located in the south. 2601:1C0:6500:8920:882E:48A6:D350:9564 (talk) 06:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
