The classical Triad of the Chinese tradition is Heaven-Man-Earth.
Rene Guenon places this ternary in the context of universal
metaphysics by identifying Heaven with Essence and Earth with
Substance, the mediator between them being Man, whose cosmic
function is to embody spirit (Heaven) while simultaneously
spiritualizing matter (Earth). Exploring Chinese cosmology further,
Guenon sheds light on such archetypal polarities as Heaven and
Earth, Yin and Yang, Solve et Coagula, Celestial and Terrestrial
Numbers, the Square and the Compass, the Double Spiral, and the
Being and the Environment, while pointing to their synthetic unity
in terms of ternaries, such as the Three Worlds, Triple Time,
Spiritus, Anima, and Corpus, Sulfur, Mercury and Salt, and God,
Man, and Nature. Perhaps more completely than in any other work,
Guenon demonstrates in The Great Triad how any integral tradition
is both a mirror reflecting universal themes found in all other
intact traditions and an entire conceptual cosmos unto itself,
unique and incomparable.
