The true meaning of Taiji diagram is as follows:

Taiji diagram is of far-reaching significance, and its connotation includes ancient wisdom philosophy, and the concept of Yin and Yang is formulated. Taiji diagram mainly embodies three points.

The first is that Yin and Yang are one. Draw Yin and Yang into a circle, which means that Yin and Yang are one.

The second feature is the interaction of Yin and Yang. When a little little Yang develops to the anode, a little Yin comes out. Similarly, on the other side of Taiji diagram, a little Yin comes out when it develops to the cathode.

Third, Yin and Yang are mutual energy. Our universe is a world of energy. The mutual transformation of Yin and Yang requires the concept of energy. Without energy, the world would be a stagnant pool, and there would be no universe, mountains and rivers, and no life.

One is Tai Chi-"Tao gives birth to one". Tao is an infinite, intangible and shapeless primitive substance. With movement and change, it gathers from scattered, from hidden to obvious, from scratch to one, and this one is Tai Chi. Tai Chi is there, and infinity is nothing. One is Tai Chi, and the circle outside represents Tai Chi.

the second is yin and yang-"one life two", that is, "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments", that is, yin and yang are heaven, yin is earth, and black and white are two instruments.

Three is three talents —— "Two gives birth to three". With heaven and earth, there are people. Heaven, earth and man are three talents. Is the sympathetic combination of yin and yang.

Three things are born, that is, Tai Chi contains three as one. Because everything is transformed from Yin and Yang, everything has its own Tai Chi. That is to say, Tai Chi not only includes two aspects of Yin and Yang, but also includes the boundaries and standards for dividing Yin and Yang. Everything is everything in the world as we understand it.

Tai Chi diagram is the simplest pattern with the simplest lines and images. At the same time, it is the most profound, rich in connotation and perfect in modeling. No pattern in ancient and modern times has such a profound artistic conception, which can sum up the origin of the universe.

tai: initial, ancestral and supreme. Pole: the most extreme position and the element of structure. The literal meaning of Taiji: the highest, most standard and perfect meaning; The true meaning of Tai Chi: Everything exists in Tai Chi, and moves, changes and develops under the control of Tai Chi, with rotation as its movement form and harmony of "neutral qi as harmony" as its movement quality.

Tao gives birth to everything, infinity gives birth to Tai Chi, and Tai Chi gives birth to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are the universal modes. The representation form of Taiji is a unity composed of Yin and Yang, and the character of Taiji is Virtue One. Taiji, born on Wuji Avenue, is a material representation complex with three elements, one element and four elements (like mathematical principles and qi), an energy source for bearing and nourishing all things in the universe, and the master of all life structures and movements.

a simple taiji diagram can reveal the origin of the universe, life and matter, and the natural regularity of its occurrence, development and movement.

The boundary between black and white is the division of the Yin and Yang between heaven and earth. Black dots in white indicate that there is yin in yang, and white dots in black indicate that there is yang in yin. Tai Chi contains yin and yang, which are divided into two parts, so Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments. Tai Chi gives birth to Yin and Yang, which are transformed into four images, namely, Taiyin, Sun, Shaoyin and Shaoyang. Then, the concrete image in real life is formed, and gossip is the mother image evolved from the four elephants. Bagua names: Gan, Kun, Zhen, Gen, Li, Kan, Dui and Xun.

Brief explanation of Taiji Diagram:

It is said that Taiji Diagram was spread by Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty. Chen Tuan was a Taoist from the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty, and he had profound attainments in Taoist thought and Yi-ology. According to historical records, Chen Tuan once passed the Taiji Map the Day After Tomorrow, the Eight Diagrams Map, the River Map and the Luoshu to his students for planting, which was passed on to Mu Xiu, Li Gai and others respectively. Later, Mu Xiu passed the Taiji Map to Zhou Dunyi. Zhou Dunyi explained it in Taiji Illustration. The Tai Chi map we are seeing now is the biography of Zhou Dunyi.

Zhou Dunyi "on the one hand, he absorbed the Taiji schema theory from Chen Tuan Taoist Yi Li and made a new explanation, on the other hand, he inherited the tradition of Yi Li School since Han and Tang Dynasties ... and became the pioneer of Yi Yi interpretation by Song and Ming Dow scholars."

taiji schema theory is the fruit of Zhuangzi's taiji thought in Confucianism and Taoism.
