阴阳 | Yin and Yang

阴和阳构成任何整体生命或物质。阴阳可以运用到任何事物生命。 以下是理解阴阳的主要概念；

• 阴阳互根
• 体阴用阳
• 阳化阴成

举例理解，1】网络： Router硬件为阴，WIFI信号为阳。

2】机械： 发动机为阴，马力为阳

3】通电： 电线为阴，电流为阳

4】电脑： 硬件为阴，软件为阳

5】书籍： 书本为阴，内容为阳

总结，载体为阴，功能为阳，故体阴用阳。且阴阳同时存在，如同没有WiFi信号，那么router路由器也是无用的。 

延展思考： 阴阳互根，就像阴阳图，阴在阳中，阳在阴中。 阳能保护阴，阴能护卫阳。 

这是为什么年老者形体衰坏（阴衰）则更容易产生火气大（阳气泄）。 因为阳不潜阴了。

 

Yin and Yang form the foundation of all life and matter. Yin-Yang principles can be applied to understanding any living or non-living system. Here are the key concepts to grasp Yin-Yang:

1. Yin-Yang Interdependence (Yin and Yang are mutually rooted).
2. Yin as the Structure, Yang as the Function (The body is Yin, its use is Yang).
3. Yang Transforms into Yin (Function creates form).

Examples for Better Understanding:

1. Network: The router hardware is Yin, and the WiFi signal is Yang.
2. Machinery: The engine is Yin, and its horsepower is Yang.
3. Electricity: The wires are Yin, and the current is Yang.
4. Computer: The hardware is Yin, and the software is Yang.
5. Books: The physical book is Yin, and its content is Yang.

Summary:

The carrier or structure represents Yin, while the functionality or purpose represents Yang—hence, "The body is Yin, and its use is Yang." Yin and Yang coexist and are interdependent. For instance, without a WiFi signal (Yang), the router (Yin) becomes useless.

This holistic view emphasizes the inseparable nature of form and function. Let me know if you'd like further elaboration!

Extended Reflection:
Yin and Yang are mutually rooted, as depicted in the Yin-Yang symbol, where Yin exists within Yang, and Yang exists within Yin. They are interdependent and complement each other. Yang protects Yin, and Yin safeguards Yang.

This principle explains why aging individuals experience physical decline (Yin deficiency) and are more prone to excessive internal heat or irritability (Yang excess). This occurs because Yang fails to anchor within Yin—a state where the protective balance between form (Yin) and function (Yang) is disrupted.

Explanation:

In a healthy state, Yin provides the foundation for Yang, anchoring and nurturing it, while Yang supports and activates Yin. However, as Yin declines with age (e.g., loss of vitality, moisture, or structural stability), Yang can no longer be contained and becomes "unrestrained." This results in conditions such as irritability, inflammation, or other signs of "excess heat."

Key Takeaway:

• Yin and Yang are interdependent; when one weakens, the other becomes imbalanced.
• Preserving Yin helps stabilize Yang, which is why nourishing the body’s Yin is crucial, especially as one ages.
