The eight immortals appear scrambled in their present arrangement. For example, Lan Caihe is arranged to Kun as I have understood Qian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.153.48.25 (talk) 21:52, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Greek Titan section of table

Why is there a section of the table lining Greek titans up to the trigrams? Is there a rogue group of Doaists who also believe in Greek mythology? If so, there needs to be a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1000:B024:5110:E4B4:1453:4624:772C (talk) 04:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Ether of Aether?

At present, the titan section for Lí links to the page for Ether, the compound, when it seems to be addressing Aether, the primordial. I just wanted to bring this up on the talk page because I am not an editor, as well as not having access to the sources to check if this was intentional. --173.0.251.59 (talk) 20:45, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Anachronisms

Some correspondences in the Trigrams section should be explicitly referenced, as Taoists didn't know about such things and so the correspondence is recent. For example: planets (several are trans-saturnian, so non-classical), Greek gods/titans, Bushido (2000 years older than the I Ching), energy and (probably) endocrine glands.

You wanted to say "2000 years younger". noychoH (talk) 06:30, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Yin Yang

is the broken line yin or yang — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amenominakanushi (talk • contribs) 05:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

There was some unusual detail that some random editor added, claiming that the yin yang variation ID badge of the 29th_Infantry_Division_(United_States) was a Bagua. Is this a common mixup? Yin yang symbols are not Bagua, although there is some relationship! By the way, the broken line is yin and solid is yang. This is an important concept for Bagua. Currently in the article the second sentence says, ″each line either "broken" or "unbroken", respectively representing yin or yang″. Twocs (talk) 08:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
