Understanding Yin and Yang: The Balance of Life Forces

Yinyang (陰陽) describes the two complementary forces—yin and yang—that make up all aspects and phenomena of life.

It is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. 

Yin, Chinese for “female” or “moon,” represents darkness, femininity, passivity, and the earth. 

Yang (“sun” or “male”) represents light, masculinity, activity, and the heavens. 

The balance of yin and yang were seen to influence health and order within an individual, society, and the entire universe.

Fascinating to see philosophies in practice in day-to-day life. 

From Ubuntu to Yinyang. 

Without thoughts (or philosophies) we don’t get things… like startups, inspiring designs, brands, architecture or Yinyang chicken rice
