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.
