What are the 4 aspects of Yin-Yang relationship?

- Inter-dependence
- Mutual-consuming
- Inter-transformation
The idea that “all things have a Yin and Yang aspect (e.g. Sun is Yang and Moon is Yin)” represents which of the 4 aspects of Yin-Yang relationship?
Opposition

Inter-dependence
The idea that “Yin and Yang are in a constant state of change for preserving the balance (e.g. The decrease of Yang energy leads to symptoms of relative excess Yin, such as feelings of cold and chilliness, which are empty cold)” represents which of the 4 aspects of Yin-Yang relationship?
Mutual-consuming
The idea that “Yin and Yang can change into one another (e.g. Day turns into night. Or Exterior Cold can invade the body and, after a time, it can easily change into Heat)” represents which of the 4 aspects of Yin-Yang relationship?
Inter-transformation
Mutual-consuming is a qualitative or quantitative change?
Quantitative change / balance / homeostasis (e.g. consumption of Yin leading to gaining of Yang; consumption of Yang leading to gaining of Yin; relative balance of Yin and Yang).
Inter-transformation is a qualitative of quantitative change?
Qualitative change / 8 principle change (e.g. extreme yin will necessarily produce Yang, and extreme Yang will necessarily produce Yin; severe cold will give birth to Heat, and severe Heat will give birth to Cold).
