文摘Let D be any division ring with an involution,Hn （D） be the space of all n × n hermitian matrices over D. Two hermitian matrices A and B are said to be adjacent if rank（A - B） = 1. It is proved that if φ is a bijective map from Hn（D）（n ≥ 2） to itself such that φ preserves the adjacency, then φ^-1 also preserves the adjacency. Moreover, if Hn（D） ≠J3（F2）, then φ preserves the arithmetic distance. Thus, an open problem posed by Wan Zhe-Xian is answered for geometry of symmetric and hermitian matrices.
