Historical Background

Yin and yang are concepts from Chinese philosophy that refer to opposing yet complementary forces or aspects of the universe. Yin typically symbolizes traits associated with darkness, cold, femininity, softness, and introversion, while yang refers to traits associated with brightness, warmth, masculinity, hardness, and extroversion. The concept of yin and yang assumes that all phenomena and processes in nature and human life result from the interaction of these two opposing forces. Although they are opposite, they are not absolutely negative or positive but mutually dependent and necessary to maintain balance and harmony in the universe. The yin and yang symbol, composed of two opposing but balanced hemispheres, is a graphic expression of this concept, usually in black and white colors that interpenetrate each other.
