Overview
The principle of change is fundamentally an essential characteristic of all things, and it is also a pervasive feature of the Book of Changes (Zhouyi). This characteristic is most fully embodied in the two hexagrams Pi (Obstruction) and Tai (Peace), because these two hexagrams represent the two ultimate extremes in the development and transformation of things. Originally, heaven being above and earth being below is the natural state of heaven and earth.
