The “Yin” and “Yang” Ancient Chinese Philosophy and its Practical Application to Body Treatment

The birth of the theory of yin and yang is the result of a long process of reflecting and generalizing the practice of the Chinese people in ancient times. The original meaning of the theory of yin and yang was only an expression of the contrast between light and darkness.
