乾卦·為八卦中的首卦·是宇宙萬象形成之根源。此畫組由乾卦之三爻所組成·由上而下依次代表中國相書命理中的三陽:九紫之陽、 三碧之陽及晚秋之陽。九紫之陽·心 剛烈·好急進或忽退·故以煉金之色襯以溶金之火·表其躁 。而三碧之陽·相對於九紫之陽· 心 陰柔而無邪氣·故以冷冽的銀白表其冰心。至於晚秋之陽·處入冬之前·酷暑之後·是為落葉之秋·亦是收割之秋·蕭瑟中仍 帶希望與喜悅·故以焦墨表其內心的歡愉、滿足·其外廓以金黃·雖為晚秋之色·然黃中帶綠·對即將到來的嫩綠之春·更是期待。

In the book I Ching, Ch‘ien, which literally means Heaven and the south (Yang), is the first permutation in the Pa Kua*. Its symbol ( 三 ) has been applied to depict this set of three paintings, which respectively renders the Yang of Nine “Tzu”, the Yang of Three “Pi”, and the Yang of the late autumn from up to down. The Yang of Nine ”Tzu“ implies restlessness and aggressiveness, which can be explained by its irregular strokes in a turmoil with the colors of gold and pink, symbolically relevant to alchemy. The Yang of Three “Pi” implies stillness and coldness, which is stated by its freezing silver color surrounded by endless darkness. And the Yang of the late autumn describes a fading season, though with a tint of sadness, still cherishes its golden harvest and vernal expectations.
