Drawing the diagrams for Yinyang, Wuxing and Bagua as McKay quivers

TL;DR

This paper visualizes traditional Chinese concepts yinyang, wuxing, and bagua using McKay quivers derived from specific finite groups, bridging cultural ideas with mathematical representations.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to represent Chinese philosophical diagrams as McKay quivers of particular finite groups.

Findings

Yinyang, wuxing, and bagua diagrams are modeled as McKay quivers.

Connections between Chinese concepts and group theory are established.

Provides visual and mathematical insights into traditional Chinese diagrams.

Abstract

In this paper, we draw diagrams of yinyang, wuxing and bagua as the McKay quivers of the groups of order 2, of order $5$ and of order $2^3$.
