Il Maestro
The master Zhao is represented practising the martial art of Ba Gua. The master is found in perfect position; the equilibrium between right and left arm, between right and left leg which are carried on the ideal plane of support which is the circle of the TaiJi. Rays of sun dematerialised into single photons carry the Tao ideogram and a passage from the famous text of Lao Tze from the "Dao De Jing" (Book of Tao and Virtue): “Eternally the Tao doesn't act, yet nothing is incomplete” (道常无为,而无不为。) (ch.37).
As in other works, this quotation signifies the imperturbability of the wise man that operates without acting. Around the circle of the Taiji there are the Baguas, the eight sacred trigrams of the Chinese divination whose arcane use is written in the book "I Ching (Yijing) ". The trigrams are represented showing some of their symbolic meanings.
