| yin-yang | In chinese philosophy and religion, two principles, one negative, dark, and feminine (yin) and one positive, bright, and masculine (yang), from whose interaction all things are produced and all things are dissolved. As a concept the two polar elements referred originally to the shady and sunny sides of a valley or a hill but it developed into the relationship of any contrasting pair: those specified above (female-male, etc.) as well as cold-hot, wet-dry, weak-strong, etc. It is not a distinct system of thought by itself but permeates chinese life and thought. A balance of yin and yang is essential to health. A deficiency of either principle can manifest as disease. (encyclopedia americana) (12 Dec 1998) |

| yin-yang |
Yin corresponds to darkness, coldness, dampness and Earth; yang to light, warmth, dryness and Heaven. They are in constant conflict, but neither force can ever completely vanquish the other. This is beautifully illustrated in the taijitu diagram , showing a little yin within the yang and vice versa. This theory was used to explain the existence of gui and shen, the cycles of the seasons and the nature of different foods and herbs.

| 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.
