"In Mah Jongg, the four seasons are represented in the pack by two sets of four tiles bearing pictures symbolizing the seasons, either by showing an appropriate flower, or by some seasonal occupation. Together, these eight tiles represent the Eight Immortals: guardians who guide and protect those under their care. They also represent the eight trigrams of the I Ching--perhaps the most ancient divination system on record."
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_mume#Cultural_significance"The plum blossom is also regarded as one of the Four Gentlemen of flowers in Chinese art together with the orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo. It is one of the Flowers of the Four Seasons, which consist of the orchid (spring), the lotus (summer), the chrysanthemum (autumn) and the plum blossom (winter)."
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Wen_sequence"The King Wen sequence is also known as the received or classical sequence because it is the oldest surviving arrangement of the hexagrams. Its true age and authorship are unknown. ... Of the two hexagram arrangements, the King Wen sequence is, however, of much greater antiquity than the Fu Xi sequence."
From: http://livingiching.com/about/beginning_the_iching"In [King Wen's] formation... the trigrams are arranged in a cyclical progression, read clockwise from the top. The trigrams were also assigned compass directions and seasonal associations."
With regards to what you are calling the Trigram: Name: Nature: Personality: Direction: and Season:Below is a proposed mapping between I-Ching trigrams, Mahjong guardians, and the Taoist eight immortals.
