Yin-Yang philosophy in Chinese culture

Yin-Yang is a fundamental concept in Chinese philosophy symbolizing the dual nature of reality. It describes how seemingly opposite forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world. Yin represents qualities such as darkness, femininity, and passivity, while Yang embodies light, masculinity, and activity. Together, they create balance and harmony, suggesting that all things contain both Yin and Yang elements. This philosophy influences various aspects of Chinese culture, including medicine, martial arts, and feng shui, highlighting the importance of balance in life and the continuous flow between opposing forces.
