Illustration of the four key principles of Yin-Yang theory. This figure visually represents the four fundamental principles of the Yin-Yang theory in traditional Chinese philosophy. Mutual rooting of Yin andYang: Yin and Yang are mutually dependent, with each being a condition for the other’s existence. Opposition and conflict between Yin and Yang: Yin and Yang are opposites that conflict with one another, but through their dynamic interactions, they tend toward equilibrium. Waxing and waning of Yin and Yang: Yin and Yang are in constant flux, experiencing periods of increase and decrease, which ensures a cyclical balance that reflects natural order. Transformation of Yin and Yang: Under certain conditions, Yin and Yang can transform into each other, emphasizing their fluidity and mutual permeability, wherein each contains the seed of its opposite (Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin).
