Yin-Yang Meaning

Yin-yang is one way that the dao expresses itself. The yin-yang are two equal, opposite, and complementary forces. Yin is the dark side and is considered passive, recessive, weak, and feminine. Yang is the white side and is considered active, dominant, strong and masculine. In the symbol each side had a bit of the other.
