Changes

The '''yin and yang''' are the two aspects in [[Taoism (Daoism)|Daoist]] (also called Taoist) religious [[philosophy]] and later Daoist alchemical belief that everything stays in balance or harmony in nature and the [[universe]]. Both originate from the "Dao" (or Tao), meaning "The Way" or Existence, and from the innate balance gave birth to the Three, from which everything originates.

[[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.

The [[sun]] is more yang than the light shower because brightness is seen as masculine and therefore, yang.

The Yin and Yang diagram (Known also as a Taijitum, meaning "diagram of ultimate power" in Chinese, especially in eastern circles)  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).
