I've removed a link that seems to be plain old advertising: I saw a bit of content on the linked site that seemed generally informational (though I can't speak to its real relevance to this page or to the subject of qigong), but it all seemed to be leading you toward signing up for some workshops and/or buying some products. (Any site whose front page has "before" and "after" pictures . . .)
From what I've seen of Wikipedia and read on the help pages, I get the pretty clear impression that this is not the sort of thing that should be here. Apologies if I'm dead wrong. Iralith 22:15, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Is this the best way of expressing this? Yes, there are two elements but Yin-Yang sees them as a harmonious whole rather than two. The point seems to be to learn how to leave the dualistic view behind.

The symbol used as of today is incorrect. The proper Yin Yang symbol contains a dot of black in the white section and a dot of black in the white section. It represents that each side also contains the opposite of itself (non-duality) - this is a vital aspect of Yin and Yang. I have no idea how to change the photo, but it’s important that it be corrected. Sareyberry ( talk) 04:40, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

In Change there is the Supreme Polarity, (太極; Taiji),
which generates the Two Modes. (兩儀; Liangyi)
The Two Modes generate the Four Images, (四象; Sixiang)
and the Four Images generate the Eight Trigrams. (八卦; Bagua).
Yin/Yang symbol ≠ yin and yang. Yin/Yang symbol = taijitu = Four Symbols = Great Yin and Great Yang (drops) + Small Ying and Small Yang (dots). — Ирука 13 14:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
@ Yue: The context is that you use taijitu, which consists of 4 characters, but you only talk about two - yin and yang. — Ирука 13 14:04, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Yin and Yang symbol is a "flat" repesentation of a continuous flow ou change, maybe better described by the Klein bottle? 2804:7F0:BA00:EC29:1ECC:D6FF:FEBA:4F02 ( talk) 15:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
It seems self-evident that the symbol visualizes the “steady“ lunar cycle, i.e. new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon. I am surprised this is not stated. 2A01:C22:B525:C800:5081:1221:7CF7:79C1 ( talk) 07:28, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
