What is Bagua and why they all look like little short lines?
Bagua or eight-Gua is the result of the ancient Chinese binary system. Each of the Gua is consists of three little Yao symbols. Each Yao represents either Ying, female or Yang, male force of nature. Ying, female, is two short little hyphens with a gap in between. Yang, male, is one continuous hyphen-like line. Use some graphic imagination to help you remember the female and male symbols or you can fashionably call them “zero” and “one”. If you are number oriented, you might be happy to know as a matter of fact, the Chinese character for number one, is exactly the same as the Yang (male) symbol, one continuous hyphen like line. I do not know if all the historians will agree the ancient Chinese use the Ying (female) symbol to represents “zero”, it is definitely appropriate and academically accepted to call it zero today. When the ancient symbols were first put into computer, Ying (female) was represented by zero and one represented Yang (male). What an interesting coincidence! Or not? If
