Yin-Yang Basics Tutorial
Taiji — The Origin of All Things
太极是宇宙的最初状态,混沌未分,阴阳一体。它是万物生成的起点。太极图(阴阳鱼图)以黑白两色的鱼形互抱,象征阴阳的相互依存与转化。
Taiji is the primordial state of the universe — undifferentiated chaos where yin and yang are one. The Taiji diagram (yin-yang fish symbol) depicts two fish-shaped halves embracing each other, symbolizing the interdependence and transformation of yin and yang.
《易传》:"易有太极,是生两仪。"
The Yizhuan says: "Change has the Great Ultimate, which generates the Two Forms."
