Example text
This process can be observed in all physiological processes; for example, in the regulation of sweating, urination, temperature of the body, breathing, etc. In summertime, for instance, the weather is hot (Yang) and we sweat (Yin) more; when the external temperature is very cold (Yin), the body starts trembling (Yang) in an attempt to produce some heat. From a physiological point of view, the mutual consuming of Yin and Yang can also be observed in the alternation of Yin and Yang in the menstrual cycle.
If a person’s movements are rapid, and he or she walks and talks fast, it may indicate an excess of Yang. 12 If a person’s movements are slow, and he or she walks and talks slowly, it may indicate an excess of Yin. If symptoms and signs appear suddenly and change rapidly, they indicate a Yang condition. If they appear gradually and change slowly, they indicate a Yin condition. Substantial–non-substantial As explained above, Yang corresponds to a subtle state of aggregation, and Yin corresponds to a dense, coarse state of aggregation.
The theory of the Five Elements was developed by the same philosophical school that developed the theory of Yin–Yang, the ‘Yin–Yang School’, sometimes also called the ‘Naturalist School’. 350–270 bc). Initially, the theory of the Five Elements had political implications as much as naturalistic ones. The philosophers of this school were highly esteemed, and perhaps somewhat feared, by the ancient Chinese rulers, as they purported to be able to interpret Nature in the light of Yin–Yang and Five Elements and to draw political conclusions from it.
