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.
