opposition of yin
Yin and Yang cannot exist without the other
Interdependence of Yang
- Yin organs depend on the Yang organs to produce Qi and Blood.
- Yang organs depend on the Yin Organs for their nourishment deriving from Blood and Essence.
Example of Interdependence of Medicine
- Yin corresponds to nutrient substance, and Yang to functional activities.
- Without structure (Yin), the function (Yang) could not perform.
Interdependence of Nature
yin and yang are in a constant state of change for preserving the balance.
Mutual Consuming
- In summertime the weather is hot (Yang), and we sweat (Yin) more.
- When the external temperature is very cold (Yin), the body starts trembling (Yang).
Nature of Mutual-Consuming
Yin and Yang can change into one another.
Inter-transformation
- Day turns into night
- Excessive work (Yang) without rest induces extreme deficiency (Yin) of the bodies energies.
- Excessive jogging (Yang) induces a very slow (Yin) pulse.
- Excessive consumption of alcohol creates a pleasant euphoria (Yang) which is quickly followed by a hang-over (Yin).
Nature of Inter-Transformation
Comparison of Mutual-Consumption & Inter-transformation
Mutual Consumption= Quantitative Change (Balance & Homeostasis)
Inter-transformation= Qualitative Change (8 Principles)
Yin and Yang aspects can be further divided into Yin Yang
Infinite Divisibility
Yin remains inside to act as a guard for Yang, and Yang stays outside to act as a servant for Yin
