The 八卦阵 - Eight Unit Formation
That night i witnessed what was called the modernize version of the 八卦 formation. Okay..a little brief description of what 八卦阵 - Eight Unit Formation means....The ancient "Eight-Unit Formation", also called Eight Element Battle Formation, was a battle array formed by eight fighting units which were represented by Heaven, Earth, Wind, Cloud, Dragon, Tiger, Bird and Snake. Of the kaleidoscopic scenes near Fengjie and Baidi City (White Emperor City), the most distinctive is the former site of the Eight-Unit Battle Formation designed by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang drilled his soldiers and invented the Eight-Unit Battle Formation which he uses to faught against Cao Cao troops in the events of the Three Kingdom. The formation was a battle array composed of sixty-four small units arranged in lines and files which form a large battle formation. There were twenty-four mobile troops of cavalry in the rear of the formation to coordinate in the fighting. The sides of the formation are several kilometers long. The mountain town of Fengjie looks a very likely place for drilling soldiers for battle.
So what has it got to do with what i'm trying to say here? Am not trying to preach chinese history here...don't get me wrong. The modernize version of 八卦阵 was played out by baby dearest.
So..what di Zhuge Liang's & baby's formation have in common?
or how's it related to 八卦阵?
Both Zhuge Liang & baby crafted the formation as a strategy to defeat what they are fighting against. In Zhuge's context, he uses it to defeat Cao Cao's troops and baby uses it to fight against the after effect of having too much booze. lol!
Just look at the pictures below...
