Three
solid lines were used to symbolize sky. The sky is strong and has divine
power to provide infinite space to accommodate all. Using three solid lines
to represent the sky is very the appropriate for its supreme being.
Three
broken lines are used to symbolize earth. The earth is a gigantic object. It
is a supporting body for human life and a burial ground for death. It is
considered soft and receptive, because it can take a lot of punishments with
tolerance.
Two
broken lines on top a solid line symbolize thunder. The two broken lines on
top have the image of lighting and the bottom solid line symbolizes
elevation. Thus, the image is lighting striking on the top of a mountain.
Two
solid lines on top a broken line symbolize wind. The two solid lines
represent the sky and energy. The broken line represents earth. Thus, this
image is the sky and energy approaching earth. The wind is invisible and we
can only justify its existence by observing the moving tree tops.
A solid
line in between two broken lines symbolize water. The two broken lines
represent the depression of earth (river banks). The solid line in the
middle represents motion. This creates the image of water flowing in a
river. In addition, this Qua also represents the moon.
For the tourist, Yi Jing(I Ching) - the Chinese Horoscope (Chinese Astrology) is a fantastic way to have a truly unique Chinese experience. Night markets, especially the fixed, main ones, offer a variety of different fortune tellers. Additionally, sometimes they can be found with tables set up on the street. Some, especially those specializing in areas particularly important to weddings and business (like Feng Shui) have offices. For most tourists, the easiest way to find a fortune teller is to visit one of the night markets, preferably with a local to assist in translating. The Chinese use of fortune sticks, known as ‘Chien Tung’, is considered the oldest known method of Yi Jing(I Ching) - the Chinese Horoscope (Chinese Astrology). The Chinese perform this ritual not as a "fortune-telling game" for self amusement, but as a historically practiced and religious art. It is generally said that a person’s future becomes his past through the present: the successful man is one who understand well what has happened, experiences acutely what is happening, and comprehends what is indicated in the future.
The 12 Animal Signs are : Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit (or Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The animal ruling year in which you were born has a profound influence on your life. As the Chinese say, This is the animal that hides in your heart. There are five elements; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, each adding a nuance of almost tactile character to the animal sign. Chinese Astrology is based on the Chinese calendar year of your birth or the year of an event. There are also many more nuances involving the month and day.
The Yi Jing(I Ching) - the Chinese Horoscope (Chinese Astrology) method of ascertaining the future is based upon a long known correlation of human and natural events and is accomplished symbolically by means of fortune sticks. Using both hands, the fortune teller holds a bamboo or leather container containing numbered sticks and shakes it, causing one of the sticks to rise and fall out. The number on the stick is cross-referenced with ancient texts to obtain a fortune. These fortunes are generally short poems or rhymes and generally indicate the possibilities and general conditions which lie ahead, not specific details about events. This in turn helps people order their lives to meet or prepare for those conditions. The particular Yi Jing(I Ching) - the Chinese Horoscope (Chinese Astrology) indicates but does not guarantee your future. Just as a road signs points your way, but you must decide and travel the route yourself. These Yi Jing(I Ching) - the Chinese Horoscope (Chinese Astrology) make great gifts and are fabulous coffee table conversation pieces.
