The core lies in the Bagua. What are the Eight Trigrams? They are Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth). Qian symbolizes the Father, Kun symbolizes the Mother. Qian and Kun give birth to the Six Children: Three Masculine Trigrams and Three Feminine Trigrams.
The Three Masculine Trigrams are:
Zhen (Thunder, Eldest Son)
Kan (Water, Middle Son)
Gen (Mountain, Youngest Son)
The Three Feminine Trigrams are:
Xun (Wind, Eldest Daughter)
Li (Fire, Middle Daughter)
Dui (Marsh, Youngest Daughter)
These eight trigrams all find their basis in phenomena existing within the natural world. The creation of the Bagua hinges on the concept of “One Stroke Opening Heaven and Earth” (Yi Hua Kai Tian Di)—it originates from that primordial first stroke. This stroke is akin to a single brushstroke in Chinese calligraphy today. This stroke is truly remarkable; it symbolizes the creation of the universe, resonating with the principle found in the Pangu creation myth. One could say that the genesis of the entire Chinese writing system, and indeed civilization itself, is encapsulated within this concept of “One Stroke Opening Heaven and Earth.”
