As Chinese Tai Chi master Wong Kiev Kit has said, "Yin-Yang is probably the most used Chinese concept in English; it is also one of the most misunderstood - even among Chinese!" So it's no wonder that there are a lot of confusion to those terms.
Need to understand yin and Yang, we first look at the origins of these concepts.Many people are not aware that the terms "Yin" and "Yang" originally from the observation of the Sun and shadow kam.Die of ancient Chinese noticed how would darken the Sun on one side of an object which would illuminating, and as the opposite side of shadows.
It is also noticed that there was no clear distinction between the "sunny side" and the "dark" side, but the variations of light to change the darkness as you to the object. You also notice that as the Sun on the sky that moves patterns of sunlight and shade would change demonstrate a "ebb and flow" nature of experience.
From this first "Visual" experience of light and darkness finally similar ebb and flow in other sensory experiences - sound noticed the Chinese (with degree of noisy until soft), touch (from hard to soft), sensation (warm, cold) and Kinesthesia (movement to rest). Began also cycles in nature, our health, cycles of birth and death, the work cycles and many more detecting ebb and flow patterns in other experiences such as time, weather, seasonal changes.
ALL OF THESE experiences, that very excited or stimulates the senses such as sunlight, loudness and movement, the ancient Chinese, the Yang called. If the senses weak or not at all were encouraged called as darkness, peace and silence, you it yin. However, the ancient Chinese realized the yin and Yang are not "absolute", but descriptions the ebb and flow in sensory experiences.
Don ' t think "forces" or "Principles"
She think how many people call of yin and Yang as "Powers" or "polar opposites" or "Principles".Yin and Yang instead you describe a way to categorize and ebb and flow within a given experience. In modern Neurosemantic conditions based on which ChiFusion Tai Chi would we call, categorize and describes in this way a "mapping" of experiences on concepts.
And as all associations that drew Chinese indicates that something only can "Yin" or "Yang" relatively - be done on a particular experience call. Decide that something is "Yin" or "Yang" (or somewhere in between) by certain characteristics and their meaning, while ignoring or downgrading to emphasize other characteristics.
Yin and Yang "in the street"
As an example of this "relativity" of the yin and Yang of let's pick a simple, everyday object, how a street Lightpole as here a pictured on the right Seite.Ist Street Lightpole Yin or Yang or something in between? remember it for a moment...
The answer is of course a road can be Lightpole, Yin or Yang or somewhere in between each after we select which part of our experience to emphasize.For example, light is the pole.So to objects, the light, not the pole position falls closer the Yang (sensation stimulate) end of the visual experience.
However, the road Lightpole is more quiet compared to the noisy engines of cars that can happen, so it's more Yin (mild, no sensation) into the acoustic experience.But until walking pole and put your hand on you, you may have noticed that it's essentially hard to the touch it more Yang scheint.Es is however because, reach around him walk, and not move to our sense of movement more yin.
And we could continue on finding a number of both yin and Yang properties, depending which part our experience of the Lightpole we choose to emphasize.
Tai Chi Tai Chi was not originally
How are yin and Yang Tai Chi? well first of all, the term "Tai Chi" not see exercises or Kampfsport.stattdessen was the term first used to refer to this relative mapping of "Yin" and "Yang".Ja, the term "Tai Chi" for many, many centuries the exercises you now know the ebb and flow of yin and Yang.Obwohl as "Tai Chi" to three or four centuries were it only within the last half of this time it was called "Tai Chi" to have.
How purchase these movements this name? A Chinese scholar by the name of the Ong Tong, after just a demonstration of the movement said art in the 1800's movements seemed a physical manifestation of the "Tai Chi" ebb and flow principle of yin and Yang.Daher came the movement art finally accessible to Tai Chi, the same name as the ebb and flow experience.
