What are the image attributes and key words associated with the 9 bigram's in the Tao?

Thanks
Iain

AFAIK twoliners (bigrams) were not used nor mentioned in the Mystery, but they probably can be deducted from their representative fourliners (tetragrams), as the threeliners (trigrams) were deducted from sixliners (hexagrams) in the Changes.

What Mystery is that? The Elusinian?

I think they are the following:

military science
collective mind
life force
academic
center
cunning
community
architecture
family

Which I guessed/ figured out from the RL Wing translation of Tao.

I think getting that aspect right is highly important.

As was understanding that a glass in the left hand was a sign of welcome.

... Warp of Supreme Mystery (Tai Xuan Jing, 太玄經), by Yang Xiong 揚雄 (53 BC-18 AD) ... short Supreme Mystery (Tai Xuan, 太玄), or just Mystery (Xuan, 太玄) ...
