陰陽 (Yīn-Yáng)

Yin-Yang

The complementary, interdependent opposites underlying all phenomena.

Overview

Yin and Yang describe how opposite yet interdependent qualities — cold/hot, rest/activity, interior/exterior, substance/function — mutually create, control, consume, and transform into one another.

Key Points

  • Opposition and interdependence
  • Mutual consumption and transformation
  • Foundation of diagnosis and treatment

Clinical Significance

Yin deficiency → heat signs from insufficient cooling; Yang deficiency → cold signs from insufficient warming.
