Taiji is an important concept and category in the cultural history of China. According to the literature we have seen so far, Yi Zhuan says: "It is easy to have Tai Chi, and it is the birth of two instruments. Two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. "
Tai Chi concept is a kind of life attitude that looks at the phenomenon and essence of everything at a loss, and this way of thinking itself actually contains sober and wise philosophical thinking. Its ultimate goal is to hope that human activities conform to the supreme morality of Tao and the laws of nature, and are not limited by external objects, and finally reach an all-encompassing peaceful and harmonious spiritual field.
brief introduction
There are many kinds of Tai Chi pictures, such as Zhou Dunyi's Tai Chi picture, congenital Tai Chi picture (formerly known as Nature's Picture of Heaven and Earth, commonly known as Fish's Picture of Yin and Yang), ancient Tai Chi gossip (with gossip around the congenital Tai Chi picture), Lai Zhide's Tai Chi picture, Duanmu Guohu's Tai Chi picture in Qing Dynasty, etc.
Up to now, only the congenital Taiji diagram and the ancient Taiji Bagua diagram are well known. Therefore, what modern people call the Taiji diagram is the fish diagram of Yin and Yang or the natural diagram of heaven and earth, and what modern people call the Taiji Bagua diagram is the ancient Taiji Bagua diagram paradigm, and is often even referred to as the Taiji diagram for short.
