| yin-yang |
Yin means the dark side of a hill and Yang the sunny side. By extending this logic, yin stands for hidden, cool, cold, feminine, dark, soft, winter, autumn, night, water, food, drinks and herbs which make us cold etc., while yang stands for exposed, warm, hot, masculine, bright, hard, summer, spring, day, fire, food, drinks and herbs that make us warm etc. Thus in Chinese philosophy the idea is to strike a correct balance between the yin aspect and the yang aspect.
