Yin and Yang Tapestry

Yin and yang is a complex relational concept in Chinese culture that has developed over thousands of years1. It represents duality, or the idea that two opposite characteristics can actually exist in harmony and complement each other2. The concept is symbolized by the Taijitu, which represents the idea that nature is made up of opposing, yet complementary forces and energy3. Yin and yang are two concepts that represent the need for balance, unity, opposite forces, and change4. The black section of the yin-yang symbol is yin, which represents femaleness or feminine energy, while the white section of the symbol is yang which represents maleness or masculine energy4.
