- Tai Xuan Jing
The text Tài Xuán Jīng ("Canon of Supreme Mystery", zh-c|太玄經) was composed by the Confucian writer Yáng Xióng (zh-cpw|c=揚雄/扬雄|p=Yáng Xióng|w=Yang Hsiung; 53 BCE-18 CE). The first draft of this work was completed in 2BCE (in the decade before the fall of the
Western Han Dynasty ). This text is also known in the West as "The Alternative I Ching" and "The Elemental Changes".The Tai Xuan Jing symbols [http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D300.pdf] represent a primary level of semantic notation in the text and are an extension of the Yì Jīng symbols. The mono-, di- and
tetragram s consist of threemonogram s:
* the unbroken line ( ⚊) for heaven (zh-cp|c=天|p=tiān),
* once broken line ( ⚋) for man (zh-cp|c=人|p=rén),
* twice broken line ( 𝌀) for earth (zh-cp|c=地|p=dì).ee also
