yin-yang mapped to Chinese character

[Thomas6]

⚊:一 亠 广 冂 口 力 几 日
⚋:八 人 亻厂 丷 儿 十 冫 艹 小 山 彐
⚌:二 冋 吕 旦
⚏:爻 火 𠂤 罒 井
……
☰ 三 品 亘
☷ 归 (The left should be 𠂤)
☶ 衣 炅 庚
☵ 水 兑 光 兴 泰(☵=䷜)
☴ 丰
☲ 丕 否 王 主(=炷)
䷣羅(罗)
䷊ 春
糹or 糸 just a additional signification symbol in 羅. actually, 羅 contain upper 罒 (net) and lower 隹.
I will update it next times.

presumably you expect some people to understand this

For example ,yang ⚊ may be mapped to chinese character 一、口、日.
Because 否 was originally equal to 丕. So 一 can be written as 口.
Then, ☰ can represent to 三(three) or 品, etc.
Yin-yang is component of Trigram.

Thanks - but just so you know most people here won't understand any of this including me. However some people will.

If you did want a wider group of people to understand you might need to explain more, in words.

Thomas, I think I can see what you're trying to do and it's an interesting idea (though more explanation would definitely be welcome!). Sometimes it works better than others, though, doesn't it? For instance, you have 兑 (dui, name of the trigram ) associated with .

Can this be connected more closely with the names of the gua? As on occasion, the shape of the hexagram does match the shape of its name. Hexagram 50 is the famous example -
鼎
- but I think Hexagram 55 is another one:
豐
- especially if you look at the ancient form of the character as it was known back then, and see it's actually about a drum.

Yes, that 's what I want to do.

Yin-yao written as 八或人 just likes this in ancient time.
And 否=丕=不, This is a example for chinese character evolvement. So, for 兑 I can write as ☵.

The meaning of 兑 can seperated as 㕣 and 儿.(《说文解字》从儿、㕣声). 儿 meanings "A bent people try to straighten up"(人在下诘屈欲长). 㕣 meanings "stream fallen between moutains and blocked by mud"."人在下诘屈欲长是儿之范式。水败山间陷泥地是㕣之范式"(Baidu.com)
。Also, 兑 usually used as “锐(sharp)" in carapace-bone-script(甲骨文).
The end, Although I can use 六壬&六爻 to solve the implication of 兑, it's too complex to explain it here. In my mind, ䷜ is similar to ䷃. Both ䷜ and ䷃ are corresponding to Gan-zhi 庚申.

Thank you for providing English translations!

I don't read Chinese, but I have looked at the characters in the Yi quite a lot, of course. And dui 兑 does not separate into the components you suggest. You can see this in the ancient forms of the character you've included in your post. There is a human figure with a big mouth, and above that the two lines meaning 'separate' (and 'eight').

Not sure how important that is or how much difference it really makes, though. What does matter, to my mind, is that dui is the name of the trigram . As you explore the connection of lines and characters and look for a system / internal logic in this, I think you need to begin with the real names of things. If you find that following a system takes you to the wrong trigram, I think it is the system that needs to change, not the ancient names of the trigrams.

As Harmen says here, the trigram dui does have things in common with the shape and meaning of the character.
