Yin & Yang
Yin & Yang : are
two primal forces controlling the whole of the universe according to
Chinese philosophy. It is thought that everything can be categorized
by this balancing system of Yin and Yang. Indeed everything from
people, houses and animals, to nations continents and the entire universe,
may be determined by the balance or lack of balance of the Yin and
Yang. The ideal balance of Yin and Yang can be summarized in this
diagram. The white (Yin) part of the diagram increases as the black (Yang) part
decreases. When one part is at its height then the other is at its
lowest ebb. Sometimes it is assumed that Yin is female and Yang
male, however, this is not strictly true. For example, even though
Yin is thought of as a predominantly feminine force, men can still possess
it too.
Within Yin is the seed of Yang and vice versa, and as such, they form two
complementary, yet also opposing forces. Together Yin and Yang make
a whole, neither one is more important than the other. Below are
some examples of how Yin and Yang appear and the opposing natures of these
forces.
