Bagua (八卦) - ba is 8 and gua is trigram so I don't see the connection.

Doc Stier wrote:I consider the comment above to be erroneous. The classical Five Elements Phases are traditionally viewed as having both a generative and creative cycle, represented by a pentagon, and a transformative control cycle, represented by a pentagram, as depicted in most graphic diagrams.
From an energetic perspective, therefore, element phase energy is never destroyed or annihilated, but is rather only controlled and transformed in order to return the generative or creative cycle manifestations to a normal balance of fluctuating energy flow according to the 12 Terrestrial Branches Timetable.
The 8 Trigrams and 64 Hexagrams, however, are definitely employed in traditional Taoist Magic and Internal Alchemy practices as visual talismans to assist in attracting and harnessing the energetic images and qualities which they are believed to represent.
Bao wrote:In Chinese tradition, the five elements represents change which gives rise to the eight directions or trigrams. The circle represents creation, the creative cycle. Destruction, or the destructive cycle is represented by the pentagram, so it's basically the same thing.
