In the heavens phenomena take form on earth shapes take form. In this way good fortune and misfortune come about. Things are distinguished from one another in definite classes. Movement and rest have their definite laws according to these, firm and yielding lines are differentiated.Įvents follow definite trends, each according to its nature. In correspondence with this difference between low and high, inferior and superior places are established. Heaven is high, the earth is low thus the Creative and the Receptive are determined. Note that the hexagrams Qian and Kun (translated here as “the Creative” and “the Receptive”) are the names of the first two hexagrams in the Yijing and correspond to yang and yin respectively. Below are some excerpts from the Great Commentary on the Yijing (Wilhelm/Baynes translation). There are many interpretations of the concept- dispersed throughout numerous schools of cosmology, alchemy, magic, and martial arts- but the most influential derives from the Confucian commentaries on the Yijing, which was further developed by philosophers like Zhou Dunyi, the Cheng brothers, and Zhu Xi. If someone embodied the unfathomable Yang I think that would be a divide-by-zero situation.īut the OP might be able to have the Yin half of the pair: standing on one leg on a mountaintop, making cryptic pronouncements to the other four Sentai Rangers, about this all-surrounding invisible "Sixth Ranger" that they can't see or speak with unless they give him dumplings-on-a-stick. (Which isn't at all to suggest that Yin and Yang are bogus and the classical elements scientific - without the philosophical concepts of Yin and Yang the world might never have discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine. The classical elements are from the other side of the planet and served as the early basis for the empirical sciences that eventually went on to disprove them and discover the real elements. The OP might be doing violence to Yin and Yang by trying to squeeze them into a completely alien system. Isn't concepts contradicting each other so people need gurus the whole point of Yin and Yang? It's always Fire-Earth-Water-Air, the elements from before anyone understood how fiendishly mundane the world is, or had any commercial applications for a three-dimensional counterpart to graphene with similar electron mobility and velocity.
