The <strong>eight trigrams</strong> (八卦, <em>bāguà</em>) are what this page lays out: how the symbols are built, the full table of names, images, elements and family roles, the classical passages the table comes from, the difference between the pre-heaven and post-heaven arrangements, and how a trigram is actually read.</p>
