八卦新闻是由“八卦”直接衍生而来的。八卦原是指《周易》中八种由阴爻和阳爻构成的具有象征意义的图形。有学者考证,上世纪三四十年代,香港报纸的许多副刊喜欢找人写些很短的小方块文章,版面排成八卦图形的模样,因此这些文章就被称之为“八卦”。 Gossip news is derived directly from the “gossip”. Gossip was originally referred to in the “Book of Changes” eight kinds of yin yang and yang 爻 form symbolic graphics. Some scholars have verified that in the 1930s and the 40s of the last century, many supplementaries in Hong Kong newspapers like to find someone to write short, small box articles that are arranged in gossip patterns. Therefore, these articles are called “gossip.”
