What do yin and yang represent?

The ancients in China said that "Yin and Yang are the Tao". You can't just have yin without yang, or only have yang without yin. This is an ancient two-point theory. Metaphysics is monism. -The source of Mao Zedong China culture is the Book of Changes, and China culture is also called Heluo culture. The theory of yin-yang and five elements is an influential philosophical concept established by our ancestors through observation and thinking in the practice of connecting various things and phenomena. It is a spontaneous and simple materialism, and it has the original ideological factors of dialectics. "One yin and one yang is the Tao" is the essence of the theory of yin and yang. Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the theories created by our people, which are widely permeated in all fields of ancient science, technology and culture in China. China follows this principle in all aspects of geomantic omen. Yin-yang and five elements are two basic concepts. In the field of information science in China, all technical methods are used to predict information, such as eight diagrams, four pillars, strange doors and astrology. , are based on the change of Yin and Yang and restraint of the five elements as the law. Therefore, to predict people's good or bad information with four pillars, we should also understand the principle, method and relationship of the changes of yin and yang and five elements. As we all know, heaven and earth, day and night, light and darkness, positive and negative, yin and yang, etc. , is completely opposite, but they are interrelated. The Book of Changes says, "Heaven and earth are sympathetic, but everything is metaplastic." Refers to yin and yang, which is in charge of the continuous development and change of everything. Therefore, the universe is composed of two opposite qi, Yin and Yang, which work together to produce all life. This law of yin and harmony applies to all phenomena in nature. In medicine, when the waist is the center of the human body, when the clear yang is distributed in the upper part and the turbid yin is distributed in the lower part, the yin and yang in the body can be harmonious and healthy. If yin and yang are unbalanced for some reason, the distribution position of yin and yang will be different or unbalanced, and poor health will occur. For example, if you feel top-heavy, weak, depressed, etc. The head should be the place where the yang is distributed. It must be that the yin rises to the head to have such symptoms. The theory of Yin and Yang came into being as early as Xia Dynasty. "Shan Hai Jing" contains: "Fuxi has a river map, the Xia people call it Lianshan, the Yellow Emperor calls it Guizang, the merchants call it Guizang, and the Lieshan people call it Zhouyi." In other words, there was a pro-gossip book "Lianshan" in the Xia Dynasty, and the gossip was composed of two basic hexagrams of Yin and Yang. Therefore, there is no doubt that the theory of Yin and Yang originated at least in the Xia Dynasty. In geomantic omen, there are many ways to improve the relationship between man and environment, the essence of which is to restore the balance of yin and yang of the whole environment, that is, to reconcile the yin and yang of the internal and external environment of the house. Specifically, the ideal distribution ratio of harmony between yin and yang in the environment should be four yin and six yang, with more yin and less yin, six tenths of yang and four tenths of yin. If the proportion of yin and yang is the same, they will repel each other. For example, in a house, rooms are opposite to each other, which will destroy your cycle. Due to the relative outflow of indoor air, families have formed two hot tendencies, and there will be discord between husband and wife, quarrels between aunt and sister-in-law or parent-child disputes. People are refined and cool, so staying at home must also achieve the effect of harmony between yin and yang and strive for balance. People should conform to yin and yang, and must not violate yin and yang. Those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it perish. As the saying goes: "the gate faces south, and the children and grandchildren are not cold;" The gate faces north, and children and grandchildren suffer. "There is Yang in the south and Yin in the north; The house faces south, sunny and auspicious; The house faces north, and it is cloudy and fierce. In geomantic omen, houses are also defined as yin, and people living in them are defined as yang. In this way, people who live in the house for a long time will form a balanced relationship between Yin and Yang with HOS without knowing it. This balanced relationship should be maintained for a long time. If there are people who have been ill in bed for many years or who are old and weak, it is best not to expand or transform them. Because in this way, I'm afraid this balanced relationship will change and Yin and Yang will be destroyed. The theory of Yin and Yang has a simple dialectical color and is a correct way of thinking for philosophers to understand the world. The theory of Yin and Yang belongs to the working people in ancient China. Through the observation of various things and phenomena, the universe is divided into yin and yang, and the materialist dialectical thought of unity of opposites is established. The origin of the theory of Yin and Yang The concept of Yin and Yang originated in the Xia Dynasty, based on the book Lianshan written by the Xia Dynasty. There have been "-"and "one" in Lianshan Chong. " "Shan Hai Jing" said: "Fuxi has a river map, so Xia people call it" Lianshan "; The Yellow Emperor got the river map, so the merchants called it "returning to Tibet" and got the river map, and the Zhou people called it "Zhouyi". "The theory of Yin and Yang divides everything in the universe into two categories: Yin and Yang, and holds that the formation, development and change of everything lies in the movement and transformation of Yin and Yang. The concept of yin and yang first came from the back of the sun. The sunny side of an object is called Yang, and the shady side is called Yin. Then it is extended continuously to further explain all phenomena in nature and society. The concept of Yin and Yang became the theory of Yin and Yang after the Zhou Dynasty, especially the Book of Changes, which comprehensively summarized Yin and Yang and became a systematic and complete theory of Yin and Yang. Yin-yang theory was formed as early as Xia Dynasty. This can be confirmed by the appearance of yin and yang gossip in the Book of Changes. The appearance of Yin (-) and Yang (-) in the Eight Diagrams appeared in the book Lianshan in the Xia Dynasty of China. Therefore, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are: "Fuxi's river map, Xia's people's, Lianshan's sky, Huangdi's river map, merchants', Tibet's sky, stone's river map, Zhou's and Zhouyi's sky. "That is to say, in the Xia Dynasty, there was a gossip book like Lianshan, which was composed of two basic elements of Yin and Yang. Therefore, there is no doubt that the theory of Yin and Yang originated at least in the Xia Dynasty. Yin-yang opposition Yin-yang opposition refers to everything in nature, and there are two opposite properties in it, namely, there are two opposite aspects of Yin and Yang. For example, eight diagrams are composed of two opposing symbols and four opposing symbols of South Yin and Yang, and then sixty-four hexagrams are composed of thirty-two opposing symbols. Therefore, the Book of Changes, Gan Chi Shu, points out: "Gan Kun is the root of Yin and Yang, and the ancestor of all things". Dry divination is pure yang, while Kun divination is pure yin. Therefore, Yin and Yang are two opposing contradictions, but they are unified with each other. Only this kind of unity can change and create everything, so the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang is the constant of everything. Yin and Yang Attribute Everything in the world can be divided into two opposite aspects, namely Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang phenomena are everywhere. The division of yin and yang is as follows: whatever is similar: bright, elegant, external, hot, dynamic, fast, masculine, strong and strange; Everything is similar: dark, down, inside, cold, quiet, slow, female, weak, even numbers belong to yin. Yin and Yang not only control the two opposing aspects of everything, but also have two different opposing attributes. The opposites of things and phenomena have yin and yang attributes, which can neither be arbitrarily specified nor reversed, but are classified according to certain laws. So what criteria are used to divide the yin and yang attributes of things and phenomena? " "Cohesion" includes: "the avenue becomes a woman", being a father, being a mother, being born in an earthquake, being kind, sad, divorced and making friends, which means that everything in the world is born, and everything is divided into men and women. There are also: "heaven is glorious", "the thing that does Yang is also the thing that Yin Kun is also" and "the wonder of Yang Bu, the couple of Yin Bu". Everything similar to male, tall and strange belongs to the category of yang; Everything similar to women, low and soft, belongs to the category of yin. Yin and Yang are the root of each other, that is, two opposite aspects of things or phenomena, which have the characteristics of interdependence and mutual utilization and are in a unity. Each side of yin and yang takes the other side as the premise of their existence, that is, without yin, yang cannot exist; Without Yang, Yin would not exist. On the theory of yin and yang among elements: "Yin is inside, Yang keeps it, Yang is outside, and Yin makes it. "So, Yin and Yang are interdependent and use each other. Yin-yang opposition means that everything in nature is universal, and there are two opposite attributes in it, namely, there are two aspects of Yin-yang opposition. For example, electricity has positive and negative poles, magnetic field has positive and negative poles (north and south poles), atoms are composed of "positive" electron nuclei and "negative" electrons, buildings have positive and negative sides, Shannan is positive, Shuinan is negative and so on. Yin-yang transformation refers to two properties of things or phenomena, which are in dynamic balance, from one to another, and vice versa under certain conditions. I ching? Quotations: "When the sun goes to the moon, it will come. When the moon passes, the sun and the moon push each other. It's summer when it's cold, and it's cold when summer arrives. Cold and summer push each other into adulthood. "Commonly known as' feng shui turns', it is the result of the transformation of Yin and Yang. The ancients in China were dependent on Yin and Yang. The exposition of opposition and transformation has the world outlook and epistemology of modern materialist dialectics. Yin and Yang are always in dynamic balance. If this change is abnormal, it is an abnormal reaction of the rise and fall of yin and yang. I ching? The copula says, "Yin and Yang are both virtuous, but there is rigidity and softness. "China geomantic omen is a specific scientific technology for human beings to seek a balance between yin and yang in residential site selection, planning and building activities. The ebb and flow of yin and yang refers to the two opposing aspects of things and phenomena. They are moving and changing, and their movements are carried out in the form of mutual decline. Due to the contradiction between yin and yang, we are always in a dynamic balance of one advance and one retreat to maintain the normal development and changes of things. " Cohesion has: "The sun will come to the moon, the moon will pass, and the sun and the moon will push each other. Cold comes to summer, summer goes to cold, and cold and summer push each other to adulthood. "The so-called communication is that the yin disappears and the yang grows, from day to night, from night to day, from hot to cold, from cold to hot. Reflect the development and change law of things with the change law of the sun, the moon, the cold and the heat. If this change is abnormal, it is an abnormal reaction of the rise and fall of Yin and Yang. The transformation of yin and yang is the transformation of yin and yang, which are two different attributes of yin and yang of things or phenomena, and their opposites are transformed under certain conditions. " Cohesion "and" combining yin and yang, combining rigidity and softness ". Yin and Yang are opposites, but they are interdependent. Only by unifying Yin and He can we promote the change and development of things and make Yin and He exist for a long time. Although Yin and Yang are two different attributes, they can be transformed into each other. "Life is easy" and "Tao has changed, so the day is stubborn". Yi, that is, yin and yang are changeable, that is, the cathode gives birth to yang and the anode gives birth to yin, so the yin turns to yang. At the beginning of the dry year, the sixth yin of Kun began to condense, indicating that the two hexagrams of Gan and Kun represent the unity of yin and yang contradictions. The beginning of the two hexagrams is the beginning of the combination and transformation of Yin and Yang. In other words, the mutual transformation of Yin and Yang is the inevitable law of the development of things. As long as things develop along the law of yin and yang changes, they will eventually achieve the goal of mutual transformation.
