Abstract

Yin and yang are the most commonly known concepts from Chinese culture; these have practically become English words themselves. What is yinyang? This question is at once utterly simple and wildly complicated. Yinyang finds expression in numerous classical Chinese texts and commentaries, especially during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE), and it has retained its preeminence through thousand years of Chinese tradition and even survived modernization.
