Yijing(易經), the book of change, is describing the interaction of all things within the concept of yin/yang. It uses the 8 trigrams to represent the 8 phenomena of nature.

The Yijing was introduced to Confucius, at the age of fifty, by Laotze. Then, he came up with his own explanation of the Yijing.

It is not a multiplication table. It is the combination of 8 trigrams by stacking them one by one. Then, it ends up with 64 combinations of hexagrams.

I thought you would ask. There are 8 trigrams in the Yijing to begin with. If you stack the first trigram on top of the 8 trigrams. Then, the second on top of the same 8 trigrams and so on. You will be ended with 64 hexagrams.

It is 8 x 8 = 64 8 trigram x 8 trigram = 64 hexagrams
