Yin And Yang
What is yin and yang?
factsinbrief.com
Yin Yang is perhaps the most known and
documented concept used within Taoism.
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang describes
how seemingly
opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected,
and interdependent in
the natural world.
Yin and Yang is two halves that together complete wholeness.
Yin and yang are also the starting point for
change. When something is whole, by definition, it’s unchanging and complete.
So, when you split something into two halves
– yin/yang, it upsets the equilibrium of wholeness. Both halves are chasing
after each other as they seek a new balance with
each other.
The word Yin comes out to mean “shady side” and Yang “sunny side”.
Yin Yang is the concept of
duality forming a whole.
We encounter examples of Yin and Yang every
day.
As examples: night (Yin) and day (Yang),
female (Yin) and male (Yang).
Over thousands of years, quite a bit has been
sorted and grouped under various Yin Yang classification systems.
The two opposites of Yin and Yang attract and complement each
other and, as their symbol illustrates, each side has at its core an element of
the other (represented by the small dots). Neither pole is superior to the
other.
