Chinese symbols + meanings


Chinese symbols - 





Taijitu (also called Daoism) is similar to the famous Chinese concept of yin and yang, here represents opposites existing in complete harmony. Each figure contains a part of the other, so that there is a black dot in the white half of the circle and a white dot in the black portion. These seemingly opposing, but complementary halves make a whole and thus, are incomplete without each other. The idea conveyed by the Taijitu symbol is that everything exists in duality, which is the foundational aspect of nature. The concept of good cannot be there without the corresponding concept of bad. Men and women, right and wrong, light and darkness, positive and negative, hot and cold, day and night, and all the other contrasting elements are inter-dependent and cannot exist in isolation.
