    The concept of the Three Elements (heaven, earth, and man) is put forward in the Commentary on The Book of Changes when explaining the trigrams. A trigram is made up of six undivided and divided lines: the first and second bottom lines stand for earth, the third and fourth middle lines represent man living between earth and heaven, and the fifth and sixth upper lines symbolize heaven.
