Homonym: Yang (Light)
Yang is a concept from Chinese philosophy, particularly associated with Taoism and Confucianism. It represents the active, bright, and masculine principle in the duality of Yin and Yang. In this framework, Yang is often linked to qualities such as strength, light, and warmth.
In the context of Yin-Yang theory, Yang complements Yin, which embodies passive, dark, and feminine traits. Together, they illustrate the balance of opposites in nature and life. This balance is essential for harmony and is reflected in various aspects of Chinese culture, including traditional medicine and martial arts.
