Gossip represents China's early philosophical thoughts. Besides divination and geomantic omen, their influence also involves Chinese medicine, martial arts, music and mathematics. Congenital eight diagrams usually appear with Taiji diagrams. Taiji and Wuji represent the ultimate noumenon "Tao" of China's traditional beliefs (Confucianism and Taoism).

In the Song Dynasty, Zhu wrote eight diagrams in The Original Meaning of the Book of Changes, which helped people remember the shapes of hexagrams: three consecutive achievements, six broken kunxing, shaking the jar, covering the bowl with the root, empty in the middle, full on the ridge, short in hand and broken in hand. The types of gossip are divided into innate gossip, Zhongtian gossip and acquired gossip.
