The Feng Shui article says the following:

"It is erroneously identified as geomancy, an unfortunate misnomer courtesy of 19th-century Christian missionaries." but this article says: "is an important part of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of geomancy."

Which is correct?

The Components of Hexcagrams section in the I Ching article has a rather different corrsepondence of the numbers and the trigrams than the image shown in this article. Which is correct?

m: edit

+changed 'pa kua chang' in image caption to Pinyin version, added Chinese characters. +changed factual inacuracy: ('feng shui is the chinese art of geomancy')

Just want to point out, 掌 zhang3, means palm 長 zhang3, means grow, sprout

baguazhang is actually a martial art, based on the bagua

I don't see where the zhang comes from in this example. there is a word, zhang1 張, which means "sheet", which might be appropriate, but I think the zhang doesn't need to be there at all

Date

What is a source for the date 2800 B.C.? I have never seen such an early date in any scholarly work. Zaslav 02:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found one on the Internet: http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/recommended/math/lk_basiccomputation.shtm
