About Lí 離
Key Point
☲ (Lí) indicates "fire". Unbroken lines, "yang" meaning bright, are located on the top and bottom, and a broken line, "yin" meaning dark, is located between the two lines of yang. From this composition of Lí, we can say "the outside is bright, but the center is dark". This is just a character of fire.
Attribute
Since appearance of the lines expresses "two separated things face each other with the other thing located between them", Lí also has the meaning of separation or departure. Fire burns away from the origin of it by moving. This set of "separation" and "connection" represents the attribute of Lí.
