- Synopsis
- The I Ching is based on the idea that all phenomena in the universe are founded on two opposing forces. Initially these forces were referred to simply as dark and light. Later, the terms were changed to Yin and Yang. Yin is the female, passive, flexible and gentle force at work in the universe, and Yang, the male principle, is characterised by decisiveness, activity, hardness and a certain rigidity. In the I Ching, all forms of life and therefore also the functions of the human spirit are associated with Yin and Yang. The Yin and Yang forces are at work in all processes of growth and decay, in the cycle of the seasons, in everything we think, do, experience and undertake. In fact, without the interaction of Yin and Yang, there would be no life.
