However, not everyone gets the gist of the dark-light dichotomy at first. But a balance of light and shade gives the mountain definition, clarity, and meaning. If the scene was either too bright or too dark the mountain would be hard to see. It refers to a mountain, one side illuminated by the sun, the other cast in shadow. The literal translation of yin/yang is dark/light. Yin and yang describe the world as an endless pair of polar opposites: cold and hot, up and down, wet, and dry. The earliest known reference of yin and yang comes from the I Ching (Book of Changes)-a mystical divination practice at least 3500 years old.

Yin and yang are symbolized by the taiji-a circle composed of two teardrops one black, the other white.
