[[China|Chinese]] theory says that everything in the world can be identified as yin and yang in relation to one another.  For instance, a light shower is more yin than a patch of [[sun]], but is less yin, and more yang, than a [[storm]].  The basis of much of Chinese [[science]] in the [[Pre Modern Era|pre-modern era]] was about the changes of yin and yang, and the Daoist religion is based around the concept in many senses.
