Abstract
Taiji, the great force which embraces everything, is composed of two opposing aspects, yin and yang. Examples include rest and activity, (peace and war, summer and winter, recession and boom, relaxation and exercise), up and down, left and right, back and front, male and female, night and day, light and dark, accelerator and brake. It's also heaven and earth, in computers it's zero and one, and sympathetic ad parasympathetic in the autonomous nervous system.
Yin and yang are constantly balancing each other like on a scale, and they are always waxing and waning, yin goes toward yang and yang goes toward yin. This activity has never once stopped. If the activity of yin and yang stops in a person's life, that is death. Nevertheless, one's genes are still passed on to descendants. The single cell that is fertilized grows to an individual with 37 trillion cells. In other words, the fetus is extreme yang, and the new individual grows at an astonishing speed to become an adult. In this way yin and yang are carried on by descendants, so the activity of yin and yang doesn't end with death.
