Everything Complements Each Other



Yin and Yang is one of the most famous symbols in the world with no doubt. It's believed that the two energy of yin yang make up the universe and are the basis of Chinese medicine. Obviously the main question about it is that how can it be a religious practice? here's how. The birth place of yin and yang is actually from the Chinese philosophy called Daoism. Daoism is the philosophy which a person should harmonize with nature by creating a balance and understanding yin yang, this reason Daoists practice on it during their whole life, some by meditating, some by doing yoga and some by doing diet. The thing that they're trying to understand, accept and perform about the yin yang is that everything about nature is balanced and relative to another, they all rise from the common source Dao,which is the way. Yang is characterized as creative, assertive,positive, and light, while yin is receptive, yielding,negative and dark. They are complementry even tough sound like opposite. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, for instance shadow can not exist without light. Lastly, the reason that yin and yang is famous all around the world is that it draws attention by the depth meaning of it and people eventually learn it when they interact with different cultures.
