I`ve seen some muslim scholars who are into feng shui....

What impress me is the ba gua.. the octagon and the yin yang.... if you study it, it is true and the west use it for programming...

I Ching
The text of the I Ching is a set of predictions represented by a set of 64 abstract line arrangements called hexagrams (卦 gu郲/i]). Each hexagram is a figure composed of six stacked horizontal lines (爻 y醥), where each line is either Yang (an unbroken, or solid line), or Yin (broken, an open line with a gap in the center). With six such lines stacked from bottom to top there are 26 or 64 possible combinations, and thus 64 hexagrams represented.
The hexagram diagram is conceptually subdivided into two three-line arrangements called trigrams (卦 gu郲/i]). There are 23,hence 8, possible trigrams. The traditional view was that the hexagramswere a later development and resulted from combining the two trigrams.However, in the earliest relevant archaeological evidence, groups ofnumerical symbols on many Western Zhou bronzes and a very few Shangoracle bones, such groups already usually appear in sets of six. A fewhave been found in sets of three numbers, but these are somewhat later.Note also that these numerical sets greatly predate the groups ofbroken and unbroken lines, leading modern scholars to doubt themythical early attributions of the hexagram system (see, e.g.,Shaugnessy 1993).
Each hexagram represents a description of a state or process. When a hexagram is cast using one of the traditional processes of divination with I Ching, each of the yin or yang lines will be indicated as either moving (that is, changing), or fixed(that is, unchanging). Moving (also sometimes called "old", or"unstable") lines will change to their opposites, that is "young" linesof the other type -- old yang becoming young yin, and old yin becomingyoung yang.
The oldest method for casting the hexagrams, using yarrow stalks, is a biased random numbergenerator, so the possible answers are not equiprobable. While theprobability of getting young yin or young yang is equal, theprobability of getting old yang is three times greater than old yin.The yarrow stalk method was gradually replaced during the Han Dynastyby the three coins method. Using this method, the imbalance ingenerating old yin and old yang was eliminated. However, there is notheoretical basis for indicating what should be the optimal probabilitybasis of the old lines versus the young lines. Of course, the wholeidea behind this system of divination is that the oracle will selectthe appropriate answer anyway, regardless of the probabilities.
There have been several arrangements of the trigrams and hexagrams over the ages. The bā g鵤is a circular arrangement of the trigrams, traditionally printed on amirror, or disk. According to legend, Fu Hsi found the bā g鵤 on thescales of a tortoise's back. They function rather like a magic square,with the four axes summing to the same value (e.g., using 0 and 1 torepresent yin and yang, 000 + 111 = 111, 101 + 010 = 111, etc.).
The King Wen sequence is the traditional (i.e. "classical") sequence of the hexagrams used in most contemporary editions of the book. The King Wen sequence was explained for the first time in STEDT Monograph #5, where it is shown to contain within it a demonstration of advanced mathematical knowledge.

[edit] TrigramsThe solid line represents yang, the creative principle. The open line represents yin, the receptive principle. These principles are also represented in a common circular symbol (☯), known as taijitu (太極圖), but more commonly known in the west as the yin-yang (陰陽) diagram, expressing the idea of complementarity of changes: when Yang is at top, Yin is increasing, and the reverse.
In the following lists, the trigrams and hexagrams are representedusing a common textual convention, horizontally from left-to-right,using '|' for yang and '

The hexagramsThe text of the I Ching describes each of the 64 hexagrams,and later scholars added commentaries and analyses of each one; thesehave been subsumed into the text comprising the I Ching.
Each hexagram's common translation is accompanied by the corresponding R. Wilhelm translation, which is the source for the Unicode names.
