[quote=DAPHNEB,405410]Tai Chi diagram, also named Ba Gua is a basic philosophical concept in ancient China. The taiji diagram and its meaning has been a mystery for thousands of years. This symmetrical pattern inside a circle is a simple geometric figure as well as a Taoist symbol that represents the principle of yin and yang or a representative symbol of Chinese traditional culture. In TV plays and movies, we often see that geomantic omen ideologists use Luopan (I think it is the same with taiji diagram) to decide whether a place is good for living or house designing. When people die, it is used to decide where to be buried. As a Chinese, it is mysterious, and even hard for me to learn its meaning. However, in Wen Zhou, Tai Chi diagram be pave on the ground in front of a building. Actually there are many in other cities. I remember one in my university either. I know it may ward off evil influence, but a bit scaring, right? I am not a believer of superstition, but I need your voice about it. [/quote]
