Yin-Yang Symbol - Meaning, History, and Symbolism of Balance #3057024 (License: Personal Use)

The Yin-Yang symbol, also known as the Taijitu, features a circle divided by a flowing S-curve into black (Yin) and white (Yang) halves, each containing a dot of the opposite color. This design embodies the Taoist principle that all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposites-light/dark, active/passive, feminine/masculine-that give rise to each other and maintain cosmic harmony. Its origins trace to ancient Chinese philosophy, particularly the *I Ching* and later formalized in Song Dynasty Neo-Confucian texts.
