re: #173 Bagua

Direct translation is: Eight Symbols

those are the eight distinct groups of three lines, in combinations of solid lines and dashes which are depicted. The unbroken one yin and the broken one yang. Thus the three solid lines are the maximum yin, and the three broken lines the maximum yang. The combinations represent all of the variations and the yin-yang symbol represents them in balance.

Ah. Now I can go to bed without being kept awake by curiosity. Thanks.

I’ve always loved the way the yin and yang swirls each contain the seed of the opposite state.

People could learn from that. Some do.
