The Zhouyi that people in later generations are familiar with , which is divided into Yi Jing and Yi Zhuan.
Bagua represents early Chinese philosophical thought. In addition to divination and Feng Shui, its influence involves traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, music, mathematics and other aspects. Innate Bagua diagrams usually appear in conjunction with Tai Chi diagrams. Tai Chi and Wu Chi represent the ultimate ontology "Tao" of traditional Chinese beliefs (Confucianism, Taoism).
