For several decades,diverse IR theories in China have been following the trails of western scholars,which are lacking distinctive Chinese characteristics and might not be a good fit for oriental culture in general.So,this paper offers some analyses based on a study of the Zhouyi or I Ching,the'Book of Changes',combined with some related ideas in Chinese geomancy,Fengshui.The author seek to develop a new interdisciplinary analytical method on a theoretical base he calls Trigram Combinations and Permutations(TCP),which may explain how diverse international issues come into being and suggest an ideal structure as a stable basis for sustainable development in international relations from the perspective of Chinese traditional philosophy and the interaction between Yin and Yang.
