Zou Yan has linked the already existing but not yet fully elaborated ideas of Yin and Yang and the five elements and applied them to a wide variety of fields of knowledge such as astronomy, astrology, geography, history and politics. Zou tried the teaching of yin and yang with the Five connect f-element teaching. Zou Yan (305-240 BC) was a Chinese philosopher. Confucius is reported to have studied the I-Ching so intensively that he chafed through the leather straps with which his book was bound three times. It takes long and careful study to understand the I-Ching deeply enough. In the I-Ching, the ONLY PRINCIPLE, the order of the universe, is shown in 64 phases of change (hexagrams). The answer of the I-Ching stands in a meaningful connection to the question if the oracle is carried out seriously. Whether the lines of change arise depends on “chance”. The I-Ching can be questioned by everyone today by using a certain “random process” to determine a sign and, if necessary, “walking lines” and a future sign. Its actual origins are likely to be found in the Shamanistic traditions of the Neolithic Age (5,000 years BC). It has existed in its current form for at least 2,000 years, but can look back on a longer history of at least 3,000 years. The old name I-Ching is now also spelled Yijing.
The I-Ching – or Book of Changes – is a very old wisdom book from China. It is the secret symbol of Buddhism and various different schools of traditional, aesthetic teaching. That is the communion between Yang and Yin. Two logos bars arranged in a cross shape, Yang over Yin, form a cross that is neither Yang nor Yin on either side. Polarization and antagonism between Yang and Yin (where the basis for rotation and vibration of all systems comes from) are excellently conveyed by this square rod. Whenever yang manifests, Yin is constantly waiting below for its turn. Yang and Yin are only “two” sides of the “one” staff (Taikyoku). Turned upside down, the stick shows the side whose hollowed center symbolizes Yin, separated, extended, loosened, hollow. One side of the stick is perfectly flat, this is the symbol for Yang, compact, solid, contracted. The chief philosopher symbolized Yin and Yang with three square bars of the same size in the center of each he carved a notch as wide as the thickness of the staff and as deep as 1/3 of that. The well-known origin of the doctrine of Yin and Yang goes back to the Emperor Fu Hi, who lived in China about 5,000 years ago. 17.1 Sources and books: The origin of the teachings of Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy
