yin and yang
yin and yang Interaction of two complementary forces in the universe, as described in the Chinese philosophy of
Taoism.
Yin and
yang are two cosmic energy modes comprising the
Tao or the eternal, dynamic way of the universe. Earth is
yin, the passive, dark, female principle; heaven is
yang, the active, bright, male principle. All the things of nature and society are composed of combinations of these two principles of polarity, which maintain the balance of all things. The hexagrams of the
Book of Changes embody
yin and
yang.
