The Eight

"The Eight" typically refers to the Eight Trigrams in Taoist philosophy, which are symbols representing fundamental natural forces and principles. Each Trigram consists of three lines that can be either broken (Yin, passive or receptive) or solid (Yang, active or creative). These Trigrams are used in practices like I Ching to understand and interpret patterns in life and nature. They symbolize elements such as heaven, earth, water, fire, and others, forming the basis for insights into balance, change, and harmony within the universe.
