yin yang meaning
[Medicine]
In Chinese philosophy and religion,two principles,one negative,dark,and feminine (yin) and one positive,bright,and masculine (yang),from whose interaction all things are produced and all things are dissolved. As a concept the two polar elements referred originally to the shady and sunny sides of a valley or a hill but it developed into the relationship of any contrasting pair: those specified above (female-male,etc.) as well as cold-hot,wet-dry,weak-strong,etc. It is not a distinct system of thought by itself but permeates Chinese life and thought. A balance of yin and yang is essential to health. A deficiency of either principle can manifest as disease. (Encyclopedia Americana)
