The text ÂŦCanon of Supreme MysteryÂŧ was composed by the Confucian writer YÃĄng XiÃģng. The first draft of this work was completed in 2 BC (in the decade before the fall of the Western Han Dynasty). This text is also known in the West as ÂŦThe Alternative I ChingÂŧ and ÂŦThe Elemental ChangesÂŧ.

Unicode Standard presents the Tai Xuan Jing Symbols block as an extension of the YÃŽ JÄŦng symbols. Their Chinese aliases most accurately reflect their interpretation. For example, the Chinese alias of code point U+1D300 is ÂŦrÃĐnÂŧ, which translates into English as man and yet the English alias is ÂŦMONOGRAM FOR EARTHÂŧ. Anyway, this block features monograms, digrams, and tetragrams, which have got their own meanings too.

These symbols represent transformations and general changes in the course of events. Plus, they represent the cycle of the changes, which corresponds with the core idea of Confucian's studies. It's not only one of the earliest Chinese philosophical texts, but also the most popular.
