The Yin Yang is an ancient Asian philosophical outlook that sees polar opposites or opposite powers as powers that complete and define each other. Opposite powers constitute a point of relationship and they complete and balance each other. Every power grows from the other, for example, light and dark or male and female. This philosophy appears also in Taoism that talks about these powers as dynamic powers between movement and rest, when one of the powers reaches the pinnacle of its strength, it changes into a different power. In Taoism, the Yin Yang is represented by the classical symbol that is called Tajitu.
The principle of Yin and Yang is a fundamental concept in Chinese philosophy and culture in general dating from the third century BCE or even earlier. This principle is that all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposites, for example female-male, dark-light and old-young..
