     彼将应曰：「伏羲作八卦，文王演为六十四，孔子作彖、象、《系辞》。三圣重业，《易》乃具足。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: Wang Chong, Lun Heng (Discussive Weighing), 80 CE

     Bǐ jiāng yìng yuē: “Fúxī zuò bāguà, Wénwáng yǎn wèi liùshísì, Kǒngzǐ zuò tuàn, xiàng, “jìcí”. Sānshèng zhòng yè, “yì” nǎi jù zú.” [Pinyin]

     They will most likely reply that Fu Hsi composed the Eight Trigrams, when Wên Wang developed in sixty-four, and that Confucius wrote the definitions, illustrations, and annexes. By the joint efforts of these three Sages the Yiking was completed.
