The yin-yang symbol, as the core archetype of Chinese I Ching studies, is far from a simplistic black-and-white dichotomy. It reveals the universal law of dynamic equilibrium maintained through the mutual generation and restriction of all things in the cosmos. This exquisite dialectical relationship manifests in phenomena like tidal movements mirroring respiratory rhythms, and seasonal cycles corresponding to emotional fluctuations.
I Ching studies constitute essentially a trans-dimensional cognitive science, with its framework encompassing three empirical dimensions:
- Natural observation (celestial phenomena and geomagnetic fields)
- Mathematical modeling (the binary system of trigrams and 64-hexagram matrix)
- Mind-body practice (meridian theory in traditional Chinese medicine and psychological regulation).
From the constitutional classifications in Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon to contemporary biorhythm research, this wisdom continues to provide cognitive frameworks for humanity. Just as quantum physicist Niels Bohr adopted the taiji symbol as his family crest, Chinese Ancient metaphysics is being revalidated as higher-dimensional science.
