Whats yin and yang

Taijitu

Yin Yang illustrated from the Tao Te Ching

When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
Yin / Yang are two halves that together complete wholeness. Something whole, is
unchanging and complete. So when you split something into two halves (yin / yang), it
messes up the equilibrium of wholeness. So both halves start chasing after each other as
they seek a new balance with each other.
The word Yin represents the shady side and Yang the sunny side.
Yin Yang is the concept of duality forming a whole. We appreciate examples of Yin and
Yang every day: night (Yin) and day (Yang), female (Yin) and male (Yang).
The symbol for Yin Yang is called the Taijitu. The taijitu symbol has been found in more
than one culture and over the years has come to represent Taoism.
