Ancient sages observed that
the universe is always changing due to the rotation of the planets, stars
relative to earth where the energy is
also changing with each rotation. The
two opposing polarity of cosmic energy Ying and Yang is also epitomized by line straight
continuous line and broken line apart from the tai ji symbol in order to form
three lines which represent Heaven, Humanity and Earth.
There is an ancient tao
universe poem loosely translated as : -
Tao gives birth to One,
One gives birth to Two (Ying
Yang) ,
The Two gives birth to Three
(Trigram),
The Three gives birth to all
things (combination of 8 possibilities).
All universal things shoulder
the Yin and embrace the Yang.
When Yin and Yang combine,
the universe achieves harmony.
Pa Kua - The eight trigrams
There are 8 possible
combinations of the Ying and Yang line in the trigram signify 8 directions, north, south, west, east , north west, north
east, south west and south east known as Pa Kua. Pa kua or 8 trigrams denote many aspect of the
universe energy in relation to astronomy, astrology, geography, human relationship, family and health. There are early heaven (Fuxi -Xian tian, 先天八卦)
and later heaven (king wen Hou tian後天八卦) due to the observed environmental changes
which causes the energy to shift.
