In the Book of Changes, changes in everything in the universe can be explained through the concepts of Yin and Yang (the two forms), Si-xiang (the four emblematic symbols), Ba-gua (the eight trigrams), and the sixty four trigrams. This study initially originated from the idea that the Chinese traditional prose can be considered as a part of objects and thus can be classified into Yin-Yang, Si-xiang, and Ba-gua. This research centers around the taxonomy of the Chinese Tang-Song prose subject to the symbolic representations of Ba-gua. This research attempts to examine the components of the structure by analyzing various factors of The Study of Zhangfa and thus find out about relevant factors for San-yao (three trigrams) that are comprised of Ba-gua (the eight trigrams). The first trigram is based upon the investigation about whether the subjects are clear and implicit dependent upon the evidence from Yin and Yang. The second and third trigrams are reasoned out of the aspects of Yin and Yang in relation to either the opposite or harmonious structures from each of the first and second structures of Zhangfa. On the basis of this evidence, the results of the structural analyses of Songdongshaonanxu by Hanyu and Shidexisanyanyouki by Liuzongyuan illustrate that the former is appropriate for Kan-gua and the latter is relevant for Zhen-gua. This finding partially supports the analytical method of the Ba-gua classification conducted by Zengguofan.
