The yin-yang fish represents the Taiji symbol. As we know, Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth) generate the six offspring: Qian symbolizes heaven, and Kun symbolizes earth. What are the six? Today we&#8217;ve discussed that this is Zhen Gua (Thunder Trigram), which represents the eldest son among male offspring. So, what animal does Zhen represent? We won&#8217;t digress too much here. Heaven corresponds to Qian, where the representative animal is the horse\u2014thus heaven is symbolized by the horse, while Kun is symbolized by the ox. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In nature, Zhen represents thunder; among animals, it symbolizes the dragon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kan (Water Trigram) represents water in nature and the pig among animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gen (Mountain Trigram) represents mountains in nature and the dog among animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Xun (Wind Trigram) represents wind in nature and the chicken among animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Li (Fire Trigram) represents fire in nature and the pheasant (a type of bird) among animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dui (Lake Trigram), also called the Marsh Trigram, represents marshland in nature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, let&#8217;s examine how these associations originate. Note that all trigrams are interpreted from the bottom upward. In Zhen Gua, the solid line at the bottom represents a yang yao (line). Why is Zhen considered a yang trigram? Because it contains only one yang line. Solid lines signify yang yao, while broken lines signify yin yao. Observe: Qian Gua (Heaven Trigram) has three solid lines, while Xun Gua has a broken line at the bottom\u2014this broken line is a yin yao positioned at the first place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All solid (yang) lines are designated by the number 9, and all broken (yin) lines by 6. For example: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The bottommost line is called &#8220;Initial Nine&#8221; (\u521d\u4e5d ch\u016b ji\u01d4 ) if yang. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The second line is &#8220;Nine in Second&#8221; (\u4e5d\u4e8c ji\u01d4 \u00e8r ). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Progressing upward: &#8220;Nine in Third&#8221; (\u4e5d\u4e09), &#8220;Nine in Fourth&#8221; (\u4e5d\u56db), &#8220;Nine in Fifth&#8221; (\u4e5d\u4e94). You may recognize &#8220;the dragon soars in the sky&#8221; (\u98de\u9f99\u5728\u5929 f\u0113i l\u00f3ng z\u00e0i ti\u0101n)\u2014this refers to the supreme position of &#8220;Nine in Fifth&#8221; (\u4e5d\u4e94\u4e4b\u5c0a ji\u01d4 w\u01d4 zh\u012b z\u016bn). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The topmost solid line is called &#8220;Top Nine&#8221; (\u4e0a\u4e5d sh\u00e0ng ji\u01d4 ). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The same applies to yin lines: &#8220;Initial Six&#8221; (\u521d\u516d), &#8220;Six in Second&#8221; (\u516d\u4e8c), &#8220;Six in Third&#8221; (\u516d\u4e09), &#8220;Six in Fourth&#8221; (\u516d\u56db), &#8220;Six in Fifth&#8221; (\u516d\u4e94), and &#8220;Top Six&#8221; (\u4e0a\u516d). This establishes the fundamental sequence\u2014just form a basic impression of this structure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The white half of the yin-yang fish represents yang energy, while the black half embodies yin energy. Observe their mutual embrace\u2014notice how yang contains yin and yin contains yang? The &#8220;eyes&#8221; of the fish are opposites yet interdependent. This complementary duality is the core concept. (The painter Fu Baoshi\u2019s name \u62b1\u77f3 B\u00e0osh\u00ed literally means &#8220;embracing stone,&#8221; echoing this philosophy of interdependence.) <\/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>This is the Prenatal Bagua Diagram, with the Taiji symb [&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-6237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237","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=6237"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6238,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237\/revisions\/6238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
