The Tai Chi

The T'ai Chi symbol represents the endless cycle of Yin and Yang, and how each contains the seed of the other. The T¡¦ai Chi and Yin/Yang are one of the central ideas of Taoist philosophy, symbolic of the Eastern view of opposites being two halves on the one entity, such as Heaven and Earth, Light and Dark, Male and Female, Good and Evil. The White part of the symbol represents Yang, with a small circle of Yin within it, whilst the Black section represents Yin. The symbol shows how the strength of Yang increases only to be replaced by the growth of Yin. This symbology is used within Taoism to reflect the cycles of Seasons, Months, Hours, as well as how opposites are not in opposition, but are merely two parts of the one thing.
