Yin and Yang

Yin and Yang are often referred to as two energies or forces that shape distinctive poles of the numerous dualities. Yin is believed to be dominating in things that are cold, negative, dark, moist, while Yang is thought to be associated with fire, light, upper side of things. Yin and Yang co-exist in never ending conflict and ultimately become one another.

The features of Yin and Yang are well documented in various publications. The web is full of texts on Yin-Yang and related subjects such as Tao, Zen, Confucianism. However, according to well recited Taoist saying the knowledgeable does not speak and the speaking does not know. We therefore refrain from any further comments on the subject.
