Why do Tai Chi gossip? Some people say it's 16, while others say it's 32?

Because, gossip: Infinity begets Tai Chi, Tai Chi begets two instruments, two instruments begets four images, and four images begets gossip. This sequence should look like this.

Fuxi painted eight diagrams, and the legend was originally used for weather forecast. Later, it developed into such multifunction. People or things in real life are diverse. Although life in primitive society is monotonous, eight divinatory symbols are not enough to express various social situations. Zhou Wenwang put these eight hexagrams on the same page and combined them into 64 hexagrams. You know, you can choose two out of eight. You can check it. The number of combinations is 8*8=64. As for whether it can be combined more, it is feasible in theory, but the sages have not done it. I think what they mean is that the 64 hexagrams can explain all kinds of things in society at that time.

You can write hexagrams if you master the principle, but it depends on whether your words are recognized by anyone. You have to write at a high level to spread all over the world. There is more than one version of the legend of the Book of Changes, and I know that even Shan Yi and Gui Zang Yi know it. However, the latter two have been lost. What we are seeing now is Zhouyi.
