The taiji (supreme ultimate) diagram presents an image of interac-tion between yin and yang. The dark area is symbolic of yin and the light one of yang, and the dark and light "fish" chasing each other stand for constant dong and change. The small dark and light dots in the diagram suggest that there is yang within yin and vice versa. The S-shaped divid-ing line, or the taiji line, symbolizes a state of harmony and balance. The two fish comprise a whole circle, indicating that y/n and yang do coexist in the same entity and promote, check and change each other.
The human body, in health or sickness, is regulated through the dong of yin and yang. Qigong exercises are done on the basis of regulat-ing the dong of y/n and yang within the human body so that balance will be achieved. In the context of the human body, yang usually denotes the male, the upper part of the body, the back, the limbs, the six fu organs (gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and the tri-jiao, or warmer), whilst yin refers to the female, the lower part of the body, the abdomen, the torso, the five zang organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys). All the vital activities are manifest in the dong of yin and yang.
