Over thousands of years, quite a bit has been sorted and grouped under various Yin Yang classification systems. The symbol for Yin Yang is called the Taijitu. Most people just call it the yin yang symbol in the west. The taijitu symbol has been found in more than one culture and over the years has come to represent Taoism. Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang. Each aspect contains the beginning point for the other aspect. For example, day becomes night and then night becomes day. Yin and Yang are interdependent upon each other so that the definition of one requires the definition for the other to be complete. The nature of Yin and Yang flows and changes with time. A simple example is thinking about how the day gradually flows into the night. However, the length of day and night are changing. As the earth ages, its spin is slowing causing the length of day and night to get longer. Sometimes changes in the relationship between Yin and Yang can be dramatic where one aspect can just transform into the other. The summation of Yin and Yang form a whole.As an example: some species of fish have females that transform quickly into males when the population of males isn’t enough. The balance of Yin Yang can be skewed due to outside influences.One effect of this is: as one aspect increases the other decreases to maintain the overall balance of the whole.
