Memorising the Eight Trigrams (Bagua)

In the days I was learning from my first Daoist teacher, we memorise the Eight trigrams using rhyming formula (歌决) to do so. So here is the formula in the order of the Early Heaven Bagua:

乾三连 (translation: Qian, the three joined lines)

兑上缺 (translation: Dui, with the top incomplete line)

离中虚 (translation: Li, with the empty middle)

震仰盂 (translation: Zhen, the upright urn)

巽下断(translation: Xun, the bottom broken line)

坎中满(translation: Kan, the full middle)

艮覆碗(translation: Gen, the inverted bowl)

坤六断(translation: Kun, the six broken pieces)

The formula is actually the images that the Trigrams resembles.
