Lao means old, shao means young. Original I-ching Oracle
the pure and complete texts with concordance
Translated by Ritsema and Sabbadini.

the numbers i gave are arbitrary, the magic square numerology and sacred geometry of the bagua is not something i am going to print or write about, but it is there.

left is up, right is down for the binary trigrams:

  1. energy-111
  2. space-000
  3. shake-001
  4. root-110
  5. gorge-010
  6. radiance-101
  7. bound-100
  8. open-011

[Editor's note: I added the list for other readers for a reference to the article... a sky, b earth, c thunder, d wind, e water, f fire, g mountain, h cloud.]

my style basically requires you to understand the texts meanings, to understand the martial art, it is that strongly linked to the bagua and tao.

this book was a bit of an eye opener,
it showed me the 4 energies, which i did not understand:
lao yin, shao yang, lao yang, shao yin.
Lao means old, shao means young.

What is your book called? Does your list follow the Temporal list? If so, maybe the last two are flipped? Sky=open? Water=bound? I like personal sensations regarding the palms, and I hope to guide people toward personal meanings... rather than adhering too closely to any single text. I stripped the numbers out of my Bagua practice to connect more precisely to the Elements. "#1 Palm" has a different feeling for me than connecting my palm to "Sky." Thanks josh.

I have a very good book that is a translation of the i-ching. it has different names for the bagua that are also accurate translations, i thought you might enjoy these and you can apply them to your information above: 1=energy 2=space 3=shake 4=root 5=gorge 6=radiance 7=bound 8=open i found that this arrangement makes more sense for given the internal transmissions of the 13 postures and how they related directly to the bagua. neat.

i found that this arrangement makes more sense for given the internal transmissions of the 13 postures and how they related directly to the bagua.
