yin yang symbol
Opposing forces circle
The yin yang symbol is a circle divided by a curved line into two teardrop-shaped halves—one black, one white—each containing a small dot of the opposite color.
It represents the Taoist concept of complementary opposites: dark and light, passive and active, feminine and masculine.
The symbol suggests that opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent, each containing the seed of the other.
