Good try! Please keep in mind that water is on top of the mountain. Water can only run down from the mountain top. What happen after that?

Very good. If I stack 坎 on top of 艮 to make a hexagram, it will make an image with water on top of the mountain. How would you interpret this hexagram? What is it telling or suggesting us?

Searching For An Effective Qigong Method (Please Answer Questions)
ChiDragon replied to PestiferMundi's topic in General Discussion
Welcome! I see why you are seeking for answer of what Qigong is all about. It seems there are lot of information out there but not to your satisfaction. IMMHO It is because there is no real answer that can help you to understand what is Qigong. There is only one definition in the Chinese language. However, the true definition of Qigong was never went across the western world. The reason was that Qi was mistranslated as energy. People take off and make up their own story about Qigong. That was why they got nowhere even after many years of practice. If you want to learn Qigong, you must disregard all the things that you'd heard from the west and stick to the real Chinese definition of Qigong. I have not seen that the true definition of Qigong was translated into the west. When I read some explanations about Qigong online, I just bite my tongue and swallow it. -
Anyone know what are the 8 symbols of the trigrams represent with a good explanation?

Why is all of modern Daoism 'Xuanxue' (neo-Daoism)?
ChiDragon replied to MadePossible's topic in Daoist Discussion
玄学(xuanxue) is metaphysics! -
It took me more than few minutes to familiarize the 8 trigrams. BTW the intend of the Yijing was not for fortune telling in the first place. If someone start using it to predict the future, one is only picked up somewhere in the middle and skipped to learn what Yijing was all about.

To be more precise, it make more sense to familiarize with the foundational trigrams first.

Using Gemini AI for the translation that makes more sense. 凡 食 之 道: Regarding to the principle of eating 大 充: excessive eating; eating too much 傷 而 形 不 臧: will cause damage to the internal organs. PS Please note translating Chinese classics cannot be done by word-for-word. It must be done by the thoughts in the contextual meaning in the phrases.
