YIN, YANG and THE FIVE ELEMENTS

In ancient times, the Oriental people classified everything in the world into
the categories of Yin, Yang and The Five Elements. These concepts have been
used to explain movements of nature. Yin and Yang are two fundamental
tendencies or forces. Yin has the properties of being female, weak, cold,
and dark and is identified with the moon, immortal, . . . and negative ions.
Yang by contrast, is male, strong, warm, and bright. It is identified with
the sun, dragon, . . . and positive ions.
The Five Elements: earth, fire, water, wood and metal, which represents Five
Regions: the Center, the South, the North, the East and the West. The Center
was represented by the earth and the color yellow, the South by fire and the
color red, the North by water and the color black, the East by wood and the
color green, the West by metal and the color white.
