☲ Fire (lí or li), the consuming energy, which is also one of the five Chinese elements. The trigram represents the clinging and radiance. It also stands for breaking free and departing. The lines show the earthly (Yin) surrounded by the heavenly (Yang). That brings a boost of potency to the earthly, enough to make it burst into flames. Earth is consumed by the heavenly forces surrounding it, therefore the trigram stands for breaking free, leaving to another state of being. The Chinese character of this trigram uses the symbol of birds flying away, for its meaning of departure and separation. Element: Fire, Binary Value: 101
