The Battle of the Gods, originating from King Wen being trapped in Yuli | The Bagua formation is too difficult to navigate

After watching director Wuershan's movie "Fengshen", I always wanted to visit the actual site of the legendary Battle of the Gods. Last week's battle mainly took place in today's Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan regions, with Henan being close to the then Shang capital Chaoge, where King Zhou imprisoned King Wen Ji Chang. Mencius said: 'King Wen was confined and thus explained the I Ching.' The place where King Wen was said to be imprisoned is today's Yuli City. Yuli City Ruins, located on King Wen Road in Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province, also known as the Temple of King Wen, is the first prison in Chinese history with historical evidence and a verifiable location, and it is also the birthplace of the I Ching culture. Historical anecdotes such as 'drawing the ground as a prison' and 'King Wen was confined and thus explained the I Ching' all originated from here. The Yuli City scenic area is divided into two parts: the front and the back. The front area includes the place where King Wen explained the I Ching, the main hall, the Xixin Pavilion, the Wan Zhan Pavilion, the Imperial Stele Pavilion, the Yi Stele Pavilion, the Explaining I Ching Platform, etc.; the back area includes the Fuxi Temple, the Tu'er Tomb, the Tai Gong Temple, the Laozi Temple, the Confucius Temple, the Twelve Zodiac Stone Carvings, and the Bagua formation, etc. The most interesting part of the scenic area is the Bagua formation, which is not easy to navigate, and patience is definitely required. I walked for an hour and a half.
