(As far as currently known of course. ) I go into that in my "Idiot's Guide" pdf - yin/yang originally was tiger-dragon - traced back to 5000 BCE and before that was from music tuning.

(As far as currently known of course. ) YinYang is just Polarity. Very old. In the Chinese YinYang sense, it is easy to see how this idea becomes obvious. In the womb, we are in an all-dark existence. Upon birth, we see half light, half dark. Additionally, we see that the light is moving. We see this light move like "birth" and "death" of it. It is the Sun, from sunrise to sunset. So we add Birth/Death to the Light/dark that we saw. We are starting to see polarity, and the movement between poles of a polarity, or "Qi". If we look down and see earth there throughout this, we already know enough to derive the Fu Hsi Bagua. - VonKrankenhaus Edited May 26, 2018 by vonkrankenhaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harmonious Emptiness Posted May 29, 2018 It's probably excellent. Rochat and Claude Larre (who she sometimes co-writes with) are generally the best sources for deeper traditions behind Chinese medicine. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
