Redirected from Yin yang
In Chinese concept, yin (陰 or 阴 in pinyin: yin1) and yang (陽 or 阳 yang2) are two opposing elements of the universe. They are not two poles like good and evil, however.
Although while yin dominates femininity and yan masculinity. Within the body of either sex, there are still traces of both elements. And an imbalance of the yin-yang ratio can cause illness.
Together, the symbolic colours of yin and yan, black and white respectively, are combined into a circle that symbolizes Taoists.
