Research on Internal Causes of Formation of Eight-Trigram Form Gathering in Gaoyao Region in Guangdong Province

Abstract:

In Gaoyao Region in Guangdong Province there are several gatherings of Eight-trigram form, which are extremely consistent with Eight-trigram pattern. Over the years, some scholars, as well as in the official publicity materials, hold that these gatherings are created based on the concept deriving from Taiji and Eight-trigram Thinking. However, after research on several typical Eight-trigram form gatherings, the author holds that the Eight-trigram form is only external manifestation of the gathering, it also has more important intrinsic causes. The first is the adaptability to natural factors, followed by defense considerations, and the third is the social organizational forms.
