The Board as Cosmos

The Prompt

Trace the cosmological significance of the TLV pattern across its attested contexts — the Liubo board, Han bronze mirrors, the diviner's board (shi), and sundials. Identify at least three primary or scholarly sources and explain what the pattern's recurrence tells us about the relationship between play and divination in Han China.

Completion Criteria

Three citations, a short essay of three or four paragraphs, and a closing note on what the 2024 Haihunhou discovery may change.
