CHARACTER MEANINGS
The Japanese word for YINYANG is inyou, written in kanji as 陰陽.
The Japanese word 陰陽 is pronounced "inyou" and translates to "Yin and Yang" in English. Also known in English as Yinyang, YinYang, or Yin-Yang. The first character, 陰 (in), represents concepts such as shade, yin, the hidden, or the secretive. It symbolizes the more mysterious, introspective, and often considered feminine aspects of nature. The second character, 陽 (you), stands for sunlight, yang, the overt, or the positive. It embodies the more vivid, active, and typically perceived masculine elements.
Together, these kanji express the ancient Chinese philosophy of dualism, where seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and complementary, forming a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. This concept is deeply ingrained in various aspects of East Asian culture, influencing philosophy, medicine, and astrology.
