Part 2

Thus, at all our interpretations of trigrams from the mathematical point of view organs belonging to one original element always will be in the opposite state. In the Fu-Xi Organs which belong to one original element are given by means of one trigram.

They have the same meaning mathematically. Thus it should be considered that when a disease gets more serious the systems of organs is described mathematically by means of the Fu Xi Order.

In this order "wonderful" meridians Du-Mai and Ren Mai correspond to trigrams Chyan and Kung.

In the Wen-Wang Order one of eight "wonderful" meridians corresponds to each trigram.

For the Fu Xi Order this correlation is not presented with the exception of the above mentioned Du-Mai Trigram and Ren - Mai Trigram. But it is logical to assume that the definite "Wonderful" meridians also correspond to the rest six trigrams. The Fu-Xi Order is a gradual development of Tai-Chi (The Great limit).

1) The lower line in the trigram belongs either to Yin or Yang

2) According to the principle of the common origin from the definite diagrams. There are four digrams. Two trigrams result from each digram. Thus eight trigrams are divided into four groups.

3) According to the principle of trigram opposition.

The "wonderful" meridians are also divided in Yang-Yin Meridians, four pairs (groups), opposite acted pairs.

Thus it should be possible to put the "wonderful" meridians according to the scheme given below in conformity with the trigrams in the Fu-Xi Order.
