A broken line represents Yin.A solid line represents Yang.Let Yang represent extroversion and Yin represent introversion.Now when you add either a broken line or a solid line on top of the first line, there are four combinations. These represent the four stages of alchemy, and also the four classical elements. They also represent the four Jungian functions, intuition, thinking, feeling, and sensation.Add another line on top and now you have a trigram. There are 8 of these, which are called the Ba Gua and form the basis of the I Ching. These are obtained by just adding introversion or extroversion "on top" of one of the four elements/functions, giving us the base 8 Jungian Personality Types (introverted thinker, extroverted feeler, etc).The 8 Ba Gua are the 8 Jungian Psychological Types.

"The trigrams of Han" is essential reading for insight into how the system came into existence. At root were simple divination efforts of simply a positive or negative connotation. Persistence of questioning created the second layer.. positive positive.. positive negative.. negative positive.. negative negative. "The one begat two.. the two begat three.. the three begat the ten thousand things "The third layer gives rise to the eight trigrams.. and then the 64 hexagrams.. but the humans who assigned the traditional meaning were individuals in position of authority. Not all of these people would be viewed as particularly insightful if held in light of modern scrutiny.All systems of conceptual order can be portrayed within a representational array. I have ideas. What are you thinking?
