Yin/yang

Yin/yang is concerned with the realisation that all things in existence are in relationship:

• this and that
• self and other
• up and down
• left and right

Every apparent duality is part of one whole.
They are not opposites.
e.g. hot and cold are merely measurements of temperature, indeed hot defines cold and vice versa...

Recognising this harmony in all things and working with it lies at the heart of taoism and tai chi practice.
