Bagua
Bagua was devised by ancient Chinese, who observed the dong of
heaven and earth and made a study of'living things, including mankind, in relation to their natural surroundings. With bagua, these ancient Chinese depicted man and the cosmos and explained the structure and movement of the universe. In this sense, bagua is a map of the world.

Bagua represents the basic law of all forms of dong in the world--from the movement of the stars to the vital activities within the human body. Therefore, it has long served as a theoretical guideline for qigong practitioners.

Traditionally, there have been two versions of bagua. The first is the Fuxi bagua, or otherwise known as the prenatal bagua. The second is the Wenwang*bagua, or sometimes called the postnatal bagua. In the pre-natal bagua, qian (heaven) is in the south, leun (earth) in the north, li (sun) in the east, lean (moon) in the west, gen (mountain) in the north-west, dui (river) in the southeast, zhen (thunder) in the northeast and :run (wind) in the southwest. The four trigrams, from qian to zhen, move counterclockwise and signify the dong of heaven, whilst the rest, from :run to leun, move clockwise and indicate the dong of earth. In the postnatal bagua, li, lean, zhen and dui form two complementary pairs, taking up their positions in the south, north, east and west, but the other four are placed at the four corners.
