Chinese Creation Stories

The Yin Yang meaning - It is a circle made up of two different fish like parts, one in black and the other in white The black represents YIN and the white represents YANG. In addition Yin and Yang are cyclical. This symbol of Yin and Yang represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies black and white, which cause everything to happen. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen just as temperature changes from hot to cold.
