The "yin" and "yang" are the two forces in [[Taoist]] belief that exist in the universe. Both originate from the "Dao" (The Way or Existence), and from the innate balance gave birth to the [[Three]], from which everything originates.
The "yin" and "yang" are the two forces in [[Taoist]] belief that exist in the universe. Both originate from the "Dao" (The Way or Existence), and from the innate balance gave birth to the Three, from which everything originates.
Chinese theory says that everything in the world can be identified as either yin or yang: two opposite forces that coexist and incorporate each other.
The Yin and Yang diagram shows a dark side (yin) and a light side (yang) each separate but flowing with the other, each containing a small amount of the other (shown as a "dot" of the opposite color).
Yin is the dark portion, representing inactive, negative, peaceful, or femaleness.
Yin represents: dark, secret, passive, receptive, yielding, cool, soft, and feminine.
Yang represents: clear, bright, illuminated, evident, active, aggressive, controlling, hard, and masculine.
Neither side is seen as good or evil, both are considered necessary, the preferable state is when yin & yang remain in balance.
Yang is the light portion, representing active, positive, sometimes violent maleness.
Yin and Yang are divided by the line which represents Qi, which is life force, the essence of being.
