Each Yao is depicted as two crossed lines\u2014like two \u2717 marks. Think of how math teachers grade: \u2717 for wrong answers, \u2713 for correct ones. But what is that \u2713? It\u2019s the Big Dipper\u2014its ladle shape is the \u2713. The West never adopted this; they use circles (\u25cb), see?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Why do we use \u2717? It signifies judgment. For instance: a tree in the forest is merely a tree, but once a carpenter fells it and crosses its pieces\u2014doesn\u2019t it transform into tables, stools, or chairs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As researchers, you must trace the origin of \u2018the single stroke that parted heaven and earth.\u2019 How did this primal stroke emerge? Intercrossing generates culture. Frankly, observe how people today rarely err\u2014and thus culture withers, for culture is born of such crossings. Much in the Zhouyi arises from intersections; I\u2019ll skip details here, but pose your questions\u2014we\u2019ll explore them together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take the Jing Gua<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>(\u7ecf\u5366, Primary Trigrams). Why \u2018Jing\u2019? These eight are singular trigrams\u2014nature\u2019s eight elemental forces. When these forces shift, intercross, repeat, or overlap\u2014the 64 hexagrams emerge (8 \u00d7 8 = 64).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yet the 64 hexagrams alone cannot capture the world\u2019s complexity\u2014hence we turn to the Yao. Each hexagram has six lines, but all lines distill to one stroke \u2014\u2018one stroke parts heaven and earth,\u2019 as Laozi\u2019s Daodejing states: \u2018The One begets the Two.\u2019 And what does \u2018One begets Two\u2019 yield? Liang Yi (\u4e24\u4eea, Two Forms)\u2014like two wings. Note how the I Ching expresses everything through imagery, symbolism, and aesthetic language: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&gt; Tai Ji (Supreme Polarity) generates Liang Yi;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&gt; Liang Yi generates Si Xiang (\u56db\u8c61, Four Phenomena\u2014\u2018Xiang\u2019 meaning manifestations);<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&gt; Si Xiang generates the Ba Gua<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>(Eight Trigrams\u2014eight symbolic images).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These Ba Gua derive the 64 Hexagrams\u201464 images\u2014and each Yao is itself a symbolic image (Yao Xiang). Thus, the system is fundamentally aesthetic. This is our understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">From 8 Trigrams \u2192 64 Hexagrams \u2192 384 Yao, the core symbol is a single line\u2014solid (_____) or broken (_ _)\u2014called \u2018the One Stroke.\u2019 Beneath Jing Gua (primary) and Fu Gua (compound) lies this principle: odd numbers denote solid (yang) lines. Remember\u2014\u2018The dynamic of yin and yang is called the Dao.\u2019&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Consider the composition of the I Ching\uff1ait progr [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6227"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6228,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6227\/revisions\/6228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
