Symbol


This Simbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.
While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.


The Yin and Yang sign basically shows the resemblance and connection between you feeling week and powerless rather than you feeling strong and powerful. This expressess another way of different people coming together to work as one. It also shows expression because it is just something that can affect the way everyone thinks about someone or something else. Finally, the Yin and Yang sign is a very expressional symbol that affects our whole economy.
