Comments:Published PDF date : Ming 17th century Room 95 label text:PDF 672Incense burner with the Eight Trigrams and immortalsOn each side is one of the 八卦 (ba gua ‘Eight Trigrams’) in relief. These are arguably the most familiar symbols associated with Daoism. Trigrams which are made up of combinations of three broken and unbroken parallel lines, are the basis for the 64 hexagrams of the 已經 (Yi Jing ‘Book of Changes’). The EightTrigrams can be doubled up to create 64 hexagrams which are in turn interpreted to make sense of the world, its history and its future. Unbroken trigram lines are considered to represent the masculine陽 (yang) element and broken lines the feminine 陰 (yin) element.
