yin-yang symbol

This Simbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.
While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.

If im not mistaken , the 2 cresent shapes are actually Koi. Its strange that a culture before Jesus could sum up the entire universe with one symbole , this singlehandedly is the most accurate philosphy describing life.

Yin is Black, and Yang is white, they are not enemies but they are supporting each other, when sun shines there is shadow. Its a balance. Such as Yin= female while Yang= male <--- they can't live without each other.

I believe Yin and Yang represent a binary star solar system we live in--the two suns opposing yet harmonizing and balancing each other.

Ying-Yang first appeared in Romania 8000 years ago, on pottery and artworks of the Cucuteni civilization. It symbolized the eternal good-evil struggle...

@TheLovesoul1 Maybe it would just come down to mental gender then. there is polarity in ALL things. That's my 2 cents!

@duran987 what would it be if male and female were to merge perfectly into one being in one body and mind.
