TRIGRAMS.Earth | DIGIRARE

☷ Earth (kun or k'un), consisting of three broken Yin lines. Yin stands for earth, dark, and cold. It's the symbol of the female principle in ancient Chinese tradition. The trigram for earth, then, is all about Yin. The trigram represents the receptive, since that is traditionally seen as the role of earth in relation to heaven. It also represents the field on which is grown what we need to survive. The Chinese character stands for earth and the female, which are connected in the symbolism of Yin and Yang. Yin is regarded as the female quality, and Yang the male, in the cosmology of Yin and Yang. The major opposites of the world, heaven and earth, are the greatest expressions of Yang and Yin in old Chinese cosmology. So, it's between what these two trigrams symbolize that everything else in the world is enclosed. Therefore, the other six trigrams are little more than different mixes of the first and the last trigram. Element: Earth, Binary Value: 000
