We all know that naming after the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams is actually the ancient Chinese people’s understanding of natural and social phenomena. In today’s society, people regard the Eight Diagrams as superstitious, so the naming of the Eight Diagrams has gradually evolved. It was forgotten. So, today let us take a look at how to name based on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
How to name based on the Five Elements and Bagua
The Bagua theory comes from eight symbolic figures in the Zhouyi. Each figure is composed of three lines. The continuous straight line "one" represents Yang. , is called "Yang Yao", and the interrupted straight line "one" represents Yin, which is called "Yin Yao". The different combinations of Yang Yao and Yin Yao form eight graphics, symbolizing eight natural phenomena, namely: heaven, earth, thunder, phoenix water, fire, mountain, and lake.
The ancients believed that the two hexagrams Qian and Kun in the Bagua are the most important and are the root of all phenomena in nature and human society. In the Bagua, Qian and Kun, Zhen and Xun, Kan and Li, and Gen and Dui are the four hexagrams. The form of contradictory opposition. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Jichang combined the eight trigrams with each other to obtain sixty-four hexagrams, which were used to symbolize the development and changes of natural and social phenomena. Interestingly, today’s South Korean flag has a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram in the center, and four eye-catching Bagua shapes in the four corners, which reminds people of the long-standing cultural connection between China and South Korea.
In addition to the graphics, the Bagua chart also has its orientation to match the nature of each hexagram. The Bagua directions include the innate diagram (Fuxi direction) and the acquired diagram (King Wen direction). The acquired diagram is now used:
Qiankangen
(Northwest) (North) (Northeast)

As a result, the ancients began to study how to use Bagua to explain life, and even named it based on it.
