The Bagua in " I Ching " represents a small family in the universe that can reproduce endlessly.

Among them, Qian represents the father with strength, and Kun represents the mother with suppleness. The eight hexagrams are drawn from the inside out (if we talk about it from the bottom up, it is drawn from the bottom up.), the order is the first line, the second line, and the third line; the order of elder and younger is determined according to the order of the inside and outside. , in order of long, medium and young; the uninterrupted line in the middle is , the yang line , and the line with interruption in the middle is , the yin line . The smallest type of line is used to determine the length and gender.
For example, in Ruzhen, only one line is a yang line, and the other two lines are yin lines, so they represent men. And because the yang line is in the first line, the order of eldest and youngest should be eldest, so Zhen is the eldest son. The hexagram of Kan has only one Yang Yao, and the Yang Yao is in the second position. When combined, Kan is the middle man. By analogy, Gen is the young boy, Xun is the eldest daughter, Li is the middle daughter, and Dui is the young girl.
In addition, the eight hexagrams also correspond to the eight parts of the human body.

The earthquake is thunder and lightning, and its nature is movement. People move from one place to another relying on their feet, and the earthquake corresponds to human feet. Gen represents a mountain. You cannot move forward and must stop. Hands often block dangers and prevent the movement of objects. For example, in life, traffic police use gestures to command vehicles to stop.
In the family, Zhen is the eldest boy and Gen is the young boy; in the human body, Zhen is the foot and Gen is the hand. Therefore, the close relationship between brothers is also called "brotherhood".
