| has gloss | eng: The Stone Sentinel Maze (八陣圖 or 石兵八陣) was an array of stones thought to be conjured by Zhuge Liang using the concepts of ba gua. It was placed in Yufupu (魚腹浦) by the Yangtze River near present-day Baidicheng, where supposed ruins of the array exist. It was fabled that when the Yangtze River rises in summer, the array submerges into the river, but when autumn comes the array resurfaces from the river, with its stones left in the exact same places. It was famous for trapping Lu Xun when he was in hot pursuit of the fleeing Liu Bei after the Battle of Yiling in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The mysterious maze was also a training ground for soldiers throughout the ages. |
