This study examines the Tarot Major Arcana and the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching from the perspective of “process structure,” analyzing their similarities and differences in symbolic systems and conceptions of life. The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana, beginning with the Fool and pivoting around the Wheel of Fortune, portray an individual’s journey from external exploration to inner awakening. The I Ching, constructed upon the interplay of yin and yang, presents the cyclical patterns governing both cosmic operations and human transformation. This paper argues that key card pairings in the Tarot—such as the Magician and the High Priestess, and Judgment and the World—resonate symbolically with paired hexagrams in the I Ching, such as Qian–Kun, Bo–Fu, and Kan–Li. Although rooted in distinct cultural traditions, both systems employ imagery, structural arrangement, and numerical symbolism to articulate an understanding of fate, change, and the integration of life. Through comparative analysis, this study demonstrates that the Tarot and the I Ching share a core philosophy of unity through opposition and cyclical progression, reflecting a shared cultural psychology and philosophical inquiry in the face of uncertainty and transformation. By adopting a “structural rhythm” approach, the paper situates these two major divination systems within a unified conceptual framework, offering a new perspective for cross-cultural research on symbolism.

本论文从“过程结构”的视角出发，比较分析塔罗大阿卡纳体系与《易经》六十四卦 在象征系统与人生观念上的异同。塔罗二十二张大阿卡纳牌从“愚者”出发，以“命运之 轮”为中轴，展现个体从外部探索到内在觉醒的成长路径；而《易经》则以阴阳构造出六 十四卦，呈现宇宙运行与人生变化的周期性规律。文章提出塔罗中的“魔法师与女祭司” “审判与世界”等关键牌组，与《易经》中的“乾坤”“剥复”“坎离”等覆卦在象征意 义上形成呼应。二者虽源自不同文化传统，却都通过图像、结构与数字，表达对命运、变 化与生命圆融的理解。通过对比分析，本文指出：塔罗与《易经》皆以对立统一与循环展 开为核心思想，展现了人类面对未知与变化时共同的文化心理与哲学追问。本文尝试以 “结构节奏”的方式，将东西方两大占卜体系置于同一思想框架下比较，期望为跨文化象 征研究提供新的理解路径。
