"The Tao gives birth to all things", this is Lao Tzu's description of the universe. The "Tao" of the universe is like the source of living water, giving birth to all things in the world. From it, all living and inanimate things are born and evolve.

The concept of "Wuji" occupies an important position in the Book of Changes and Confucianism. It symbolizes the infinite energy that is constantly released and gives birth to all things in the world. Just like an uncarved piece of jade, it contains endless potential and possibilities.

Modern science has revealed similar mysteries for us. In the world of "nothing", particles are born in the form of a pair of cathode and anode particles appearing at the same time. This coincides with the theory that Tai Chi produces yin and yang as described in the Book of Changes.

Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to all things" is a wonderful portrayal of the evolution of the universe. From scratch, from simple to complex, this is a process of continuous differentiation and development. As the Book of Changes says, the universe evolved from the infinite to Taiji, and then from the Taiji to the Yin and Yang, Liangyi, Sixiang, and Bagua, and then evolved into all things in the world. This process symbolizes the endless life and the eternal evolution of the universe.

As a symbol of this evolutionary process, gossip contains profound wisdom. If we only regard it as a fortune-telling tool, it is undoubtedly a tyrannical thing. In Taoist and Confucian cultures, Bagua is not only a totem, but also a microcosm of the formation process of all things in the universe. It uses simple images to show the ancestors' deep understanding of the universe, life and wisdom.

Therefore, studying Bagua and understanding the philosophical ideas behind it is the key to unlocking wisdom and understanding the evolution of the universe and the community of life. This not only helps us understand the origin and evolution of all things, but also leads us to think deeply about the meaning and value of life.
