Wikipedia's own article on Jing Fang, the Han dynasty Yijing scholar known for his system of trigram correlations, is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it reliably records his standard biographical facts. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: fine for uncontroversial biography, not a substitute for specialist scholarship on Han dynasty Yijing exegesis.
