1.[ Yin and Yang, two opposing principles in nature, the former is negative and the latter is positive]
2. Ancient philosophical concepts. Ancient naive materialism thinkers summarized everything in the contradictory movement as two opposite categories of Yin and Yang, and explained the movement and change of the material world with the principle of mutual change.
Translocation of yin and yang. -"Chu Ci Qu Yuan Involved in the River"
3. Research on the movement of the sun and the moon

4. Changes in weather
Changes of yin and yang.
5. Yin and Yang-Everything has Yin and Yang. Yin-yang force is a continuous force, which can be transformed and changed, and it is a never-ending movement. Absolute motion characteristics.
6. Hypothetical concept of TCM
The characteristics of yin and yang in all things: the planet is symmetrical, and yin and yang are symmetrical. The greater the energy of yin and yang, the higher the symmetry. Asymmetric things, such as a gust of wind, rocks, nebulae. As soon as the movement of Yin and Yang stopped, everything was scattered.
Yin and Yang are philosophical categories founded by ancient sages in China. An ontology can be divided into congenital yin and yang and acquired yin and yang. The ancients looked up and down at the analogy, and abstractly summarized the concept of "Yin and Yang" from various opposing and related phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, and up and down.
The Book of Changes written by Confucius in the Book of Changes says that "one yin and one yang are the Tao". Yin and Yang are two sides of an organic whole, which hide and replace each other. It is impossible to stick to one family and decide the image. Although there is no fixed image, it changes with the Tao, and both can be the upper Tao and the lower device. Tao is infinite and ubiquitous, depending on its use. Use is out, yin and yang are fixed, although fixed, but they also change at any time. So: Yin and Yang are not the same, so they should be one. One is Tai Chi, which dominates two things and interacts with each other to transform them into thousands of things.
detailed description
-"Lu Chunqiu Cha Jin"
Yin means "Yi" in ancient times, or "Yin", and "Fu" represents virtual entity; Yang, the ancient "cloud", or the "symbol" representing the virtual entity is "Yang". From then on, the word "one" comes from the cloud, meaning "fog that is spinning and recombining". "Rhyme" means "divergent qi". It can be seen that the ancients defined "yin and yang" from the essence of the material world-"qi" and "movement" of qi. The ancients called it "yin and yang" instead of "yang and yin", which is related to the logic of the origin of the ancient world. The order of world creation is: infinite Tai Chi → Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments (two instruments are heaven and earth).
Infinity means chaos, and chaos is wandering water vapor. "Tai Chi" is the center of the circle, and the appearance of the center of the circle is engraved at the same time as the circular movement takes place. The main body of circular motion is loose water vapor. After the diffused water vapor rotates slowly, it gradually forms a hollow cloud column. The further acceleration of the rotation of the cloud column produces centrifugal force at the upper and lower ends, which makes the light substances in the cloud rise to form "sky" and the turbid substances fall to form "ground". "Heaven" and "Earth" constitute the "world" (please refer to the entry "Kunlun" in Baidu Encyclopedia). From this creative process, we can know that the predecessor of the world is chaos, and the world is born from the rotation of fog and water vapor, that is, the orderly movement of chaos. With heaven and earth, there is a distinction between yin and yang (without the world, it is equivalent to returning to the former state of the world-"chaos"). So "Yin" comes before "Yang".
Yin, Shuo Wen Jie Zi said: "Darkness is also the south of water, and the north of mountains is also", and Shuo Wen Chuan said: "The north of mountains is the south of water, and the sun is worse than the sun". Case: This is about yin and yang from the macro perspective of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are the largest yin and yang entities known to ancient humans. On the Essence of Yin and Yang From the largest entity of Yin and Yang, it is that the big Yin and Yang includes all the small Yin and Yang, which is also a brilliant move. However, it is not clear why Yin is in front of Yang and is called "Yin and Yang" instead of "Yang Yin". Is there land first, then there is day? It doesn't make sense. Only from the perspective of the origin of heaven and earth can we explain clearly why Yin is in front of Yang.
Yang Shuo Wen Jie Zi said, "Brilliant." "Explaining Zheng Ziyi by Writing": "Clever is also good at saying yin." Example: the highest, the sky is also; If you are smart, you will have a bright future. This is to discuss Yin and Yang from the macro perspective of heaven and earth.
Tao Te Ching said: "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. Everything is negative and holds yang, thinking that it is harmonious. " Case: This is about Yin and Yang from the perspective of the origin of the universe, but it is not the definition or explanation of the word "Yin and Yang" itself. Tao, guide also. Guide, to also. When the chaotic water vapor changes from disorderly movement to orderly movement, it shows that the vehicle has been on the right track and started to move towards its destination. This orderly movement on the right path led to the birth of Tai Chi. Taiji is "one", which was born at the moment when chaos changed from disorderly movement to orderly movement. Tai Chi was born, followed by the emergence of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are "two". When the weather drops, the earth and the air transpiration, and the two gases meet, the result is the birth of people. People are "three". "Three" also includes all living things. Man is the most spiritual of all living things and is their general representative. Then all things in the world alternate generations in the interaction of yin and yang, keeping the balance of population and quantity.
