Is yin yang light and darkness?

Yin-Yang represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other. While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong.


Is there a correct way to draw the yin yang?

The most common way to draw a yin yang is to make a circle with two teardrop shaped segments, one white colored one (symbolizing yang) rising on the left and one dark colored one (symbolizing yin) falling on the right. Each teardrop shape has a circle of the opposite color in its center, and the whole design is arranged so that these two inner circles are lined up vertically (symbolizing how yin and yang both start to change into their opposite when they reach their extremes). Other variants exist, however.

What color is yin and what color is yang?

Yin is the black and yang is the white. The yin is feminine, Earth, water, coldness, etc. and is related to fate. The yang is masculine, Heaven, fire, heat, etc. and is connected to free-will. Neither is good or bad. According to Daoism (also known as Taoism), everyone contains both yin and yang. Whenever there is less of one there is more of the other. We need to strive to keep them both in balance.

How does Yin and yang relate to marriage?

The woman is yin and the man is yang, ideally, but sometimes this is reversed. In same-sex couples one takes the feminine yin role and one takes the masculine yang role. The polarity of these two in a marriage allow for sexual attraction and harmony. The yang protects and the yin nurtures, the yang leads and the yin follows, the yang is pure action and thought and the yin is pure energy and emotion. Everyone has a mix of these energies but men will generally have about 70-90% masculine and women will have 70-90% feminine. But there are always exceptions to this rule.
