The ancient Chinese did not count the circle as 360º but as 365.25º, and I also remember having read somewhere that they had an important time cycle of 1½ years.

If they thought of 1½ years as 1½ * 365.25 then their important cycle would be 547.875 days long. But they may have regarded 365.25 as only an approximation, or for some reason less ideal than 548 / 1.5 = 365⅓.

For instance is 3 * 365⅓ = 1096 (like a magic formula which 10 times turns the ominous 9 upside down into a 6). It may cast some light on Hb9-36 where 9 is also connected with 6 (times 6) and where the upside down top part has at bottom a partner with an opening in front:

Hb9-33	Hb9-34	Hb9-35	Hb9-36 (1096)	Hb9-37	Hb9-38
364			365 = 1098 / 3 - 1

However, I guess their important time cycle may have been 3 times 182.5 + ½ = 548 days long. Number 3 'engenders everything' and there is a need for a fraction (the 'germ' of something new):

3 nourishing legs represent a time of growth, I guess.

Large numbers (e.g. 548) are potentially more significant than small ones, because the probability of accidentally finding a large number once more is slight. Such a small number as 3, on the other hand, will appear everywhere by pure chance and one cannot draw any conclusions from finding it once more. If it occurs again and again and again, though, doubt creeps in.

But small numbers (e.g. 3) are generally more significant than larger ones, because they will associate to so many things. They carry heavy loads of meaning. Few bits of information cannot carry much according to information theory, but in life they do carry much meaning.

3 are the number of stars in the Belt of Orion, 3 are the rocks standing in the water (Nga Kope Ririva), there are 3 great pyramids at Gizah, 3 are the stones needed to put a cauldron on, etc, etc.

Thinking of the great pyramids at Gizah it is impossible to avoid thinking of the Belt of Orion (because it has been shown how these twin triplets once were arranged uniformly). The belief in correspondences has built a vast net of associations including such a number as 3. For instance is there room for a pattern 3 + 1 before Saturn arrives:

It is easy to find number 3 and I will now give another example.
