Summary[edit]
DescriptionYin yang laozi.jpg |
Deutsch: Yin Yang
English: A Chinese page labelled "The Old Taijitu" and including an early rendering of the Taijitu ("Yin-Yang" or "Yinyang"). The text describes how the Taijitu functions as a map, with south (at the top of the diagram) representing pure yang, north (at the bottom) representing pure yin, and points around them representing the flow from one to the other. Compare Lai Zhide's diagram and the Unicode Yinyang. Red dots have been added to separate sentences in the running text.

Source | Unknown, presumably downloaded from some copy of this, Zhang Huang's 1623 woodblock-printed book Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate (i.e., Taijitu), a copy of which is held and has been partially digitized by the East Asian Library at the University of Chicago. The University of Manitoba copy further states that such 'old' yinyangs first began to appear in Taoist contexts at the beginning of the Song Dynasty (late 10th, early 11th century). The same concept had earlier been symbolized by a tiger and a dragon. (See Wikipedia's article on the "4 Symbols".) |
