Eight of the "Yin and Yang" are the two aspects of contradictory things

The concept of "Yin and Yang", this has nothing to do with "eight" fortune-telling technique, it comes from early human observation of the natural phenomena, people will be the sun light energy according to the place called "Yang", where no sun light is called "Yin".

Therefore, the original meaning of "yin-yang" is said two natural phenomena related to the sun.Then people will be extended out to the concept of "Yin and Yang", use "Yin and Yang," said a pair of both depend on each other, and contradictory things.In philosophical terms, is to use "Yin" and "Yang" said things two aspects of contradiction, with major aspects of contradiction, "Yang" said things expressed in "Yin" of the secondary side.

Such as:

And in the "manA woman"The two things, can" Yang "represents" man ", "Yin" on behalf of "woman";

In "the sun and the moon" this a couple of things that can be "Yang" represents the "sun" and "Yin" on behalf of "the moon";

In this a couple of things, "the king and the people" can "Yang" represents "the king", "Yin" on behalf of "the people";

In "night" this pair of things, can "Yang" represents "day", "Yin" on behalf of "night";

In the "teachers and students" the pair of things, can "Yang" represents "teacher", "Yin" on behalf of "student".

In addition, can also be "Yin and Yang represent different attributes:

With "Yang" said: hot, just, health, stretch, rich, expensive, the gentleman;

With "Yin", said: cold, soft, illness, and flexion, poor, humble person.

Further, we can also use an extension of the concept of "Yin and Yang", "Yin" is used to describe different stages of "gas" :

"The sun be the spirit" : active conditions, plays a dominant role in the development of things aura;

"Yin qi" : in a passive state, the aura of things development plays a secondary role.

As a result, we can use "Yin qi" and "sun be the spirit of" contradiction movement to reveal the law of the development of things, this is the Chinese traditional science, such as traditional Chinese medicine, qi gong, astronomy, geography, mathematics, etc, the path of the operation, it is also the basis of "eight words" method.

In 780 BC, namely you king zhou for two years, the western zhou dynasty in three big has happenedThe earthquake, TaiShiBoYang at that time the father with the contradiction between Yin and Yang two gas movement explains the cause of the earthquake:

"Yang fu not out, Yin forced not evaporate, so there are earthquakes.Today three real sichuan earthquake, is Yang Yin also lost its and town.Yang in Yin, sichuan source will plug.Source plug, the country will perish."(the mandarin language on zhou ") the "Yang" here is "sun be the spirit", "Yin" is "Yin qi", the two different function of air material contradictory conflicts caused by the earthquake.

The bible of traditional Chinese medicine think that the health of human body in huangdi's internal classic with gas are inseparable:

Yue: "yellow emperor was borne since ancient times, was born, this between Yin and Yang, heaven and earth, liuhe, within its gas kyushu, nine orifices, five zang-organs, twelve section, all depends on the weather.The five, the three gas, number is this, the evil hurt, the life of this also."(huangdi nei jing angry borne on article 3 ")

After the author's study found that for a long time in the huangdi neijing, the concept of "gas", the vast majority of meaning is refers to the air, but as the source of all things "Qi", "gas" in the above quotation, it should be "Qi" (detail see my book "shape Qi learning principle").The following quotations in "gas" is also referred to as "Qi", not repeat.

Huangdi neijing "Yin qi" and "sun be the spirit" are two essential to maintain the body balance, once one party too little or too much, the body will show the condition, at the same time, the body must follow the motion law of gas to arrange life, otherwise it is easy to cause disease:

"From the Yin and Yang, the inverse of the dead, from the cure, the inverse of the mess, the suitable for inverse, is inside.Is therefore not saint has cure disease cure not ill, don't cure has not disorderly, this is called also.Is then medicine, disease, is then conquer, Pi Jude thirsty and wear well, dou strike cast cone, not also late!"(huangdi nei jing, four gas god theory of the second ")

"Yin" here refers to "Yin qi" and "Yang" refers to "the sun be the spirit".

"Yin - Yang disease, YangSheng Yin disease, YangSheng heat, Yin is cold."

This is the imbalance of Yin and Yang two gas after clinical manifestations.

In eight fortune-telling technique, Yin and Yang will also and "names", "gan" and "five lines of" the combination of complete analysis of the fate of the people together, the introduction will also follow in later chapters.
