Yin and Yang are the complimentary, yet opposing
principles of Chinese philosophy. They are like two sides of a
coin. Yin is dark, feminine and negative. Yang is bright, masculine
and positive. These two forces continually interact with one another
and this interaction is thought to maintain the harmony of the
universe. When they blend and achieve balance, there is harmony.
Yin elements include houses, trees, all inanimate
objects and darkness. Yang elements include people, animals, light
and animate things.
Yin and Yang affect your home and the way you
decorate it. Read about some common negative problems with houses,
and the solutions for them.
The use of Yin and Yang here is to illustrate
that your house does not become too dark. On the other hand, in
a big garden, shrubs, rose arches and rockeries can have a pleasing
effect on a flat landscape.
