i Ching Symbols: I Ching Trigram Li
King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty has been accredited with the following philosophical description of the source of I Ching.
“When the world began, there was heaven and earth. Heaven mated with the earth and gave birth to everything in the world. Heaven is Qian-gua, and the Earth is Kun-gua. The remaining six gua are their sons and daughters”.
Li
Li represents seperation (fire and lightening) but in the context of divination it signifies beauty and firmness.
