Durkheim and mauss, in primitive classification, concluded that the emotions play a causal role in the history of dual symbolic classification systems, but could not test this intuitive speculation because they saw a classification of the emotion as impossible. In this paper a portion of plutchik's psychoevolutionary model of the primary emotions are assumed to be valid and are then investigated through a nalysis of one of their three case studies of primitive classification, that of classification in ancient china, where their emphasis was on the eight "trigrams" or "powers" that they saw arranged in a "divinatory compass". Tge trigrams are three - line components of the "hexagrams", the six line figures that are intrepreted as master signs in I Ching divination rituals. Using plutchik's psychoevolutionary clasification of the emotions as a basis of comparison, especiall his model of the primary emotions as adaptive reactions to the positive and negative experiences of four existential problems - identity, temporality / reproduction, hierarch and territoriality, it is found that both trigrams and primary emotions exist as four pairs of opposites. The eight trigrams and eight primary emotions similarly can be seen as adaptive reaction to the four basic problems of life. Through structural analysis, correspondences between the trigrams and the primary emotions are developed, the result being that the primary emotions are structurally isomorphic and very close in first meanings to the primary attributes of the trigrams. Implications of this isomorphosm of structure for the development of a social psychology of the emotions are discussed.
