☱ Lake (duì or tui), the big body of water. The trigram represents the joyous and open. The combination of lines may seem odd at first glance: Yin (the earthly) resting on two Yang (the heavenly). But the lake is an image of the sea, the primordial sea that most ancient creation myths contain as a primordial element. Since Heaven is the creative force in Chinese tradition, it must lie beneath what seems to be the origin of everything. So, beneath the depth of the ocean hides the creative first cause: Heaven. The trigram represents the open, because with earth on top it gives room for fruition on the surface, from heavenly forces hidden below. The Chinese character for the trigram oddly means cash and exchange as well as weight. It may refer to the abundance of such a great body of water, and the nourishment it conceals.
