Restriction of yin and yang indicates that two opposite side of yin and yang present with relationship of mutual restriction and control. The classics state: "Yin creates Yang and Yang activates Yin".ġ6 Restriction and Reciprocity of Yin and Yang For Example: no energy without matter, no day without night. They constantly transform into each other. Yin contains seed of Yang and vise versa. Just as a state of total Yin is reached, Yang begins to grow. For example, heat belongs to yang and cold to yin, without heat there would be no cold.ġ5 Interdependent: Cannot exist without each other Interdependence of yin and yang indicates that yin or yang must take existence of its counterpart as the prerequisite for the existence of its own, and no one can exist solitarily without its counterpart. The opposition of yin and yang means there exist contrary attributes of two opposite aspects in all kings of things and phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, day and night, cold and heat, active and static, internal and external, ascending and descending, entering and exiting, etc.ġ4 Opposition and Interdependence of Yin and Yang But if the problem is really yin deficiency, then restraining yang may simply serve to weaken the patient by reducing damaged energy levels still further.ġ3 Opposition and Interdependence of Yin and Yang Treatment aimed at reducing or controlling yang might be appropriate if it is overactive, but if the problem is really yin deficiency. But the yang excess could be due to overactive yang, or to excess yang because yin is weak. In disease and illness, this mutual restraint collapses and yin or yang get out of hand: Overactive yin damaging yang Overactive yang damaging yin Excess yang resulting from a deficiency of yin Excess yin resulting from a deficiency of yang.Ī disease characterized by fever and inflammation, might be seen in terms of excessive yang. These two energy forces also adapt and blend to our changing needs in what the Chinese refer to as “mutual restraint” – each controlling the other. In a healthy body, the relationship between yin and yang is constantly changing: we exercise and become more yang, or rest indoors and become more yin. The Heart ( a Zang organ) is predominantly yin, but it is in the upper half of the body, so it is rather more yang in character than the Liver ( also Zang and yin), which is in the lower abdomen. Acupuncture meridians on the outer sides of the arms, legs, and black are yang, while those on the inner sides of the arms and legs, and across the abdomen, are yin.ĩ The Yin and Yang The various organs of the body are classified as solid (Zang脏), which are more yin, or hollow (Fu 腑), which are more yang in character – but they still contain both aspects.
The exterior (outside) of the body is regarded as more yang, while the interior (inside) is more yang.Ĩ The Yin and Yang The exterior (outside) of the body is regarded as more yang, while the interior (inside ) is more yin. Organs, blood, and body fluids tend to be yin, while the functions – transporting and transforming things, as with breathing and digestion – are seen as more yang. Consequently yin and yang are used to explain all kinds of phenomenon in nature, and lay the foundation for development of yin-yang theory.ħ The Yin and Yang Substances (static things) are seen as more yin while functions (activities) are more yang. They further recognized the mutual action of the two promotes the formation, development and change of things. Through long term of observation of living practice, the ancient people gradually found there generally exist two opposite aspects of yin-yang in things.
Then the meaning extended to mean warmth and cold of the weather upper and lower, up and down, upper and lower, right and left, inner and outer in orientation, activeness and stillness in moving state. The original meanings of yin and yang mainly referring to facing towards the sun belongs to yang and facing away from the sun belongs to yin. Yin and yang are the summarization of the attributes of two opposite aspects of correlative things or phenomena in nature.

It classifies the things that have the characters of moving, exciting and warming into yang and the things that have the characters of moistening and restraining into yin. The theory of Yin-yang is introduced into medical field as a methodology and forms a doctrine of medicine. In this work, all phenomena are said to be reduced to Yin-Yang. The earliest reference to Yin and Yang is in the I Ching (Book of Changes) in approximately 700 BC. Yin and Yang is one of the most fundamental concepts in Traditional Chinese Medicine, as it is the foundation of diagnosis and treatment.
