This paper presented a unifying derivation based on the
yin
-
yang
manifesting-subduing ascending-descending model, leading to
Hetu
(《河图》),
Luoshu
(《洛书》), the primordial Bagua diagram, and
taiji
diagram. From the geometric generative models of concepts including
wuji
,
taiji
,
yin
-
yang
, three elements, four images and five phases, we discussed the
yin
-
yang
manifesting-subduing ascending-descending model with details, and further derived the basic model for expressing changes of
yin
-
yang
. Such
yin
-
yang
change basic model could be divided into discrete and continuous change. Discrete changes include quadratic, octonionic, and fractional models. Continuous changes include circular motion models and simple harmonic vibration models. From the quadratic model, the
Hetu
and
Luoshu
could be deduced. From the octonionic model, the primordial Bagua diagram,
Hetu
and
Luoshu
could be deduced. From the simple harmonic vibration model,
taiji
diagram and the basic laws of motion of
yin
and
yang
could be deduced. Finally, a logical framework for modern formulation of
