Yin-Yang represents the two great opposite but complementary forces at work in the cosmos. Yin is the female principle, it is cold, dark, receptive, soft, small, and still. Yang is the male principle, it is bright, active, upward, hot, creative and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol give a sense of the continuous movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin. This movement is seen as the cause of all creation.
