The Rites of Zhou records: 'At the winter solstice, the shadow of the gnomon is 1.5 feet long, which is called the center of the earth. It is where heaven and earth meet, the four seasons intersect, wind and rain gather, and yin and yang harmonize. Then all things thrive, so a royal capital is built here, with a domain of a thousand li and planted boundaries. There are nine such vassal states, with the huang pillar as the marker.'
