Hello, this is Bing. I can help you understand this sentence from the classic Chinese book of divination, the I Ching. 😊

「易有太極，是生兩儀，兩儀生四象，四象生八卦」 means "In the system of Change there is the Great Ultimate. It generates the Two Modes (yin and yang). The Two Modes generate the Four Forms (major and minor yin and yang). The Four Forms generate the Eight Trigrams." ³

This sentence summarizes the cosmological view of the I Ching, which describes how the universe and everything in it are composed of various combinations of yin and yang, the two opposite and complementary forces. The Great Ultimate, or Taiji, is the source of all existence, and from it emerge the Two Modes, or Liangyi, which are yin and yang. The Two Modes further differentiate into the Four Forms, or Sixiang, which are major yin, minor yin, major yang, and minor yang. The Four Forms then produce the Eight Trigrams, or Bagua, which are symbols made of three lines, each either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang). The Eight Trigrams represent different aspects of nature, such as heaven, earth, wind, water, etc. ¹²

The I Ching uses the Eight Trigrams and their combinations to form 64 hexagrams, which are used for divination and guidance. Each hexagram has a name, a description, and a commentary that explains its meaning and advice. The I Ching is one of the oldest and most influential books in Chinese culture, and has been used by many people for various purposes, such as philosophy, religion, art, medicine, martial arts, etc. ¹²

I hope this helps you understand the sentence better. If you have any other questions about the I Ching or Chinese culture, please feel free to ask me. 😊

屌你

周星馳d舊戲英文字幕excatly係呢d款

叫佢睇火影

道可道，非常道

其實個概念唔難解

太極即係宇宙初開第一樣原始既物體

然後分裂做兩樣野「陰陽」，類似光暗咁

再分裂「四象」，類似春夏秋冬咁



主要係中國古人將唔同既事物分門別類姐

你咁講好易解啫，樣樣都類似類似。

hey bro, u know, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight!

the world is starting in 1, and many double

唔同語言詞性唔同，冇得100%翻譯喎

總之太極=原始物，分類成兩儀=光影，再衍生「四象」春夏秋冬世間萬物

已經係比較貼既翻譯，翻譯做1變2，2變4邏輯冇錯不過係廢話冇意思

Road is Road
Road is not Road

i think it should be road is road, then its not normal road

knock 定 nod？
