A very primitive use of the Chinese characters for yin and yang is claimed to date back to the fourteenth century BC. It is thought that initially the character for yin described the night and yang the day. It seems that Chinese philosophers recognised that humans where influenced by three powerful cycles, those of the day, moon and year. It also is apparent that our response to these cycles has certain similarities. So we might notice similarities with the night, new moon and winter whilst sensing a similar response to the day, full moon and summer. Yin then represents the night, new moon, winter part of the cycle and yang the day, full moon and summer. The yin-yang symbol above reflects this cycle. If we think of the top being the summer soltice in 21/22 June and the bottom the winter soltice 21/22 December then we can see the white yang energy slowly rising as we come into spring. Even at its peak the yang energy still has a dot of yin reminding us that there are no absolutes. As we move into the autumn the black yin energy increases again. Generally, yang can be represented by the sun or the heavens with many stars, so that everything that is in the sun becomes relative to the shady, darker, cooler aspects of nature. The left word refers to the yang aspect relative to the yin represented by the right word in the pairs in the chart below. We can place the tai chi symbol over a human to better see how we are in terms of yin yang. Here the upper sunny part is more yang and the lower more shady areas more yin. In terms of meridians or paths of chi those in the sunny areas are yang, whereas the more shady areas, for example inside of the legs and arms, contain the more yin meridians. In China the chi flow is often described in terms of the flow between the sun or heaven and earth. The flow of chi from the sun bring yang chi down through the body and the earth moves yin chi up. Yin would describe the way we feel during the night and in winter compared to the yang feelings we might experience in the summer and during the day. In Chinese medicine, the word "cooling" is associated with yin and "warming" with yang. So a food that feels warming would be more yang than a food that feels cooling. The basic idea is using two words to describe the effect of outside influences on us, and to cultivate the awareness of how we can help change our health through a change of those influences. Yin-yang is used in feng shui, macrobiotics, Chinese astrology, the I Ching, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, shiatsu, tai chi, qi gong, and Chinese philosophy. One traditional Chinese interpretation is that yang is experienced on the sunny side of the mountain and yin on the shady side. Other ways we can experience natural environmental yin yang is to see how we feel during a hot, dry, day in the summer, when there is a greater presence of yang energy compared to a cold, damp, frosty night in the winter. We could also compare the way we feel during the full moon to the new moon. During the full moon some of us become slightly more yang, and this corresponds with a three to five percent increase in car accidents, crime, and admissions to emergency rooms.
