How to understand the concept of yin and yang in traditional culture?

Culture is the consciousness of politics, economy, art and religion gradually summed up in the development of human society. Therefore, the branches of traditional culture in China are very extensive, including both material culture and intangible culture. Many traditional cultures have the concept of yin and yang.

For example, we say it is sunny during the day and cloudy at night. There will be no phenomenon that day and night appear together.

Yin and Yang is a philosophical thought in China's traditional culture, and its essence is the description of natural law by ancient China people and the driving force behind this law. Therefore, Yin and Yang are also the driving force to support the development and decline of all things. The philosophical concept of Yin and Yang has three characteristics: unity, opposition and solidification, which contains the wisdom of working people in ancient China.

In this duality, there are yin and yang in our traditional culture. Moreover, the concept of yin and yang is absolute, and there is no neutrality. For example, we can't see day and night at the same time, because Yin and Yang are independent. And the change of yin and yang is dynamic. For example, the transition from day to night in a day is not completed in an instant, but through the passage of time. Therefore, the concept of yin and yang is in line with philosophical thinking.

Third, the meaning of Yin and Yang Yin and Yang is an important part of philosophy in China's traditional culture, and it is the law that we human beings have summed up by constantly observing nature. Many schools of thought founded by thinkers in the past dynasties used the theory of Yin and Yang for reference, so the Yin and Yang scholars also made outstanding contributions to the development of China's history.
