Confucianism and Taoism.

Yin and yang are concepts primarily associated with Taoism, a philosophical and religious tradition that originated in ancient China. These concepts represent the dual nature of reality, symbolizing the balance and interdependence of opposing forces in the universe. Yin is often associated with qualities like darkness, femininity, and passivity, while yang represents light, masculinity, and activity. The interplay of yin and yang is fundamental to understanding harmony in Taoist thought.

The Taoism symbol, known as the Yin-Yang, originates from ancient Chinese philosophy and is closely associated with Taoism and Confucianism. It represents the dualistic nature of reality, illustrating how seemingly opposite forces are interconnected and interdependent. The symbol's origins can be traced back to early Chinese cosmology and the I Ching, where the balance of Yin (dark, passive) and Yang (light, active) reflects the dynamic harmony of the universe. The Yin-Yang encapsulates the Taoist belief in the balance and unity of all things.

Actually, there is no standard, universally recognized symbol for Confucianism. However, there are three symbols that are sometimes used unofficially. The most common is a symbol vaguely like an asterisk that is an ideogram for water. It represents the source of life in Chinese philosophy.

The last name Yang is of Chinese nationality. It is one of the most common surnames in China. It can also be found in other Asian countries, but it is most commonly associated with the Chinese community.
A yang is the former monetary unit of Korea from 1892 to 1902, the cry of the wild goose, or the male principle in eastern philosophy.
In the yin yang philosophy, the sun represents yang, which symbolizes light, warmth, and activity. The moon represents yin, which symbolizes darkness, coolness, and receptivity. Together, they represent the balance of opposites and the interconnectedness of all things.
Yin/Yang is not an invention, it is an ancient Chinese philosophy. I do not believe (not sure) there is information on exactly what century it came about.
