Review of Sung: Part III - Their Remarks
These pages contain a set of numbered remarks that are presumably
intended to elucidate what has come before.
In Remark VII - The Geometric Definition of that System of Symbols,
on p104 the author explictly makes the connection between the Taiji
and a point, between the yin and yang and a line, between the four
bigrams and a square, and between the eight trigrams and a cube. This
directly prefigures the work of Charlie Higgins and his
Mensional analysis.
Remark XIV closes the section. The author again emphasizes the
importance of the cubic arrangements, and closes by inviting "comments
and criticisms, as may be deemed necessary" p118. This saved it for
me. There seemed to be a genuine concern to expose his own thinking
on these matters for the overall good of the Yi.
I hope that this review can be seen as it is intended, in the
spirit of providing necessary criticism.
