The symbols of Tai Chi Diagram are as follows:

"Tai Chi Diagram" is said to have been spread by the Taoist priest Chen Tuan of the Song Dynasty. Chen Tuan was a Taoist priest from the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty. He had profound knowledge of Taoist thought and Yi Xue. According to historical records, Chen Tuan once passed the "Tai Chi Diagram of Houtian", "Bagua Diagram", "He Diagram" and "Luoshu" to his student Zhongfang, who passed it on to Mu Xiu, Li Gai and others. Mu Xiu passed "Tai Chi Tu" to Zhou Dunyi.

Zhou Dunyi explained it in "Tai Chi Pictures". The Tai Chi diagram we see now is what Zhou Dunyi taught. "Tai Chi Diagram Theory" is the fruitful result of "Tai Chi" thought in "Zhuangzi" in Confucianism and Taoism.

1. Origin of Tai Chi:

Tai Chi is known as "the first picture in China". From the beams and pillars of the Dacheng Hall of the Confucius Temple, to the symbols of Laozi Tower, Sanmao Palace, and Baiyun Temple; from the Taoist priest's robes to the fortune teller's divination stall; the covers and emblems of books and periodicals on traditional Chinese medicine, qigong, martial arts, and traditional Chinese culture From the monogram to the South Korean flag pattern, the Singapore Air Force aircraft emblem, the Bohr Medal family emblem...etc., the Taichi diagram has all jumped to the top.

This well-known Tai Chi diagram is shaped like a yin and yang fish intertwined with each other, so it is commonly known as the "Yin and Yang fish Tai Chi diagram".

2. The ancient interpretation of the Tai Chi Diagram:

1. "Book of Changes": "The Yi has Tai Chi, which gives rise to the two rituals, the two rituals give rise to the four images, and the four images give rise to the Bagua." Kong Yingda Shu: "Tai Chi means that before heaven and earth are separated, the vitality is mixed into one, which is Taichu and Taiyi."

2. Scholars in the Song Dynasty believe that "Tai Chi" is "Li". Volume 75 of "Zhu Xi Yu Lei": "Tai Chi is just a muddy principle, which contains yin and yang, hardness and softness, odd couplings, and everything." "Zhang Zizheng Meng's Notes on Taihe" written by Fuzhi, the king of the Qing Dynasty: "The Taoist, heaven and earth The understanding of characters is the so-called Tai Chi. ”

3. It is called the heavenly palace, the fairyland. Chapter 72 of "Yong Huai" written by Ruan Ji of the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms: "When the road is full of conflict? Tai Chi can soar." Jin Gehong's "Baopuzi·Wu Shi": "The garden is planned to be in the forest, and the pavilion is arrogant to Tai Chi." "Yun Ji 7" Volume 8 of "Tai Chi": "Tai Chi has the king of Yuan Jing, who is responsible for photographing the gods of the three days."
