Yin Yang
Yin and Yang are often represented graphically by a circle divided into two halves: one half is black (Yin) and the other half is white (Yang). This symbolizes the relativity and complementarity of Yin and Yang, while implying their dynamic balance and interdependence.
Yin and Yang is a concept of complementary opposites, revealing the relative yet interdependent forces in the universe and life. Yin represents darkness, softness, and stillness, while Yang represents brightness, firmness, and activity. This opposition is not merely static; it involves a dynamic interplay of generation and inhibition, mutual transformation.
The philosophy of Yin and Yang teaches us that the changes and harmony of everything in the universe depend on this dynamic balance. This balance evolves and adjusts continually, shaping the diverse and perpetual flow of the world.
