The Detailed History Of Bagua

Article Category: Society

Author Name: James Tien

Bagua is the term applied to the eight diagrams that are used in Taoist cosmology. Together, they represent the basic fundamental principles of reality. In no particular order they are sky, lake, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain, and earth. Also referred to as trigrams, the elements have ties to astronomy, geography, and astrology as well.

Cosmology, in its basic form, is purely the study of the entire universe and our race's role in it, by extension. The term cosmology was not named until the late 1700s but the study itself had been in existence for a lot longer.

Many historians cite the theory of yin and yang as a source of the philosophy. Zhou Dynasty founder, King Wen, offered a more philosophical description, saying that there were just heaven and earth when the world began. The two mated and the six other trigrams are their sons and daughters, respectively.

The eight bagua are also essential tools of traditional Feng Shui. Feng Shui is the practice of arranging homes, workplaces, and graves to receive a better flow of energy and spirituality. Their uses are often categorized into two parts which are burial sites and residences. While originating in Chinese culture, many in the western world have also adopted this practice.

In modern forms of Feng Shui, special maps were created to help enthusiasts arrange their belongings more productively. Using the map, people can more clearly see how certain locations in a room are correlated to specific aspect of one's life. They include things like wealth, inner knowledge, family, and health.

The Bagua maps were intended to be used as informative guides for existing rooms. Lay the maps over a floor plan or scaled drawing and it can help you find all of the spots lacking in good energy and chi. You can enhance and improve these areas, by identifying them first. Determining the best spot for fortune and wealth, for example, will ensure you have success in that area if you place your desk there.

Visually, the philosophy's eight diagrams have become widely known and fairly popular. Both the South Vietnam and South Korean flags feature variants of the trigrams. Slightly altered versions of the ancient symbols have recently even found their way into mainstream television shows and movies. The popular American show Lost even used variations of them for their DHARMA Initiative logos and several well known anime cartoons have borrowed from them as well.
