Position of each yin-yang line in the trigram has a special symbolic meaning and reflects a typical for Chinese mind a pyramid of Heaven, Humanity (Mankind) and Earth.

It is also said, that each trigram reflects interrelationships between different aspects of life which normally are not necessarily being associated with each other [6] p.45. Among them - People, Health, Elements, Senses, Flavors, Nature, Animals, Plants, Colors, Seasons, Time of the Day and Directions.
