What exactly was Yin-Yang?
First, what was Yin-Yang?
The study of Yin and Yang was a study of laws. The general idea was to find the two sides of Yin and Yang (or two attributes) between many things through extremely subtle observation. Then, through the mutual restriction and development of the method to find the law, in order to achieve the method of controlling things. This was the study of Yin and Yang.
Many people couldn't understand, but to give an example, men were yang and women were yin. When they copulated, they would reproduce. This was the law of yin and yang of human reproduction. However, in ancient times, when they had sex, there were no other effective contraceptive measures, and they didn't want to get pregnant. What could they do? That was to look at the pattern and avoid the ovulating period. This was where the study of Yin and Yang could be used. Through this example, he hoped to understand.
Second, was it easy to learn Yin-Yang?
It wasn't simple, and it wasn't something that many people could understand. This was because the study of Yin and Yang was all-encompassing. One had to give a reasonable explanation in the current environment in order to deal with things well. Using Feng Shui as an example, it was the most intuitive.
What was Feng Shui? In layman's terms, Feng Shui was the flow of air into the wind. The wind carried water and nourished people. What was needed was the accurate direction of the airflow. The humidity, the surrounding environment, the barrier, and the height of the building all had an impact. It was definitely not something that could be explained in a few words. Sometimes, even if one missed a point, it would lead to the improper layout of the entire house. Such things were not uncommon. Therefore, many people looked at Feng Shui through the Internet instead of surveying the direction of the airflow on the spot. That was neither scientific nor responsible.
Thirdly, why didn't he recommend ordinary people to study Yin-Yang?
Ten learn, seven give up, two go crazy, one succeed
Those who gave up felt that it was difficult, while those who succeeded calmed their minds and saw through these laws. They could master them and apply them. For example, in Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine department looked at the problem according to the yin and yang in a patient's body. They realized that there were different prescriptions for one disease and different treatments for the same disease, so that the patient could recover as soon as possible. Remember, good Chinese medicine doctors must understand some yin and yang. This way, they could get twice the result with half the effort.
Why was there still a portion of them who went crazy? In fact, they had seen something that they could not understand. If they could not understand it and could not find a breakthrough, people would let their imagination run wild and lead to mental disorder. This was common in the field of Yin-Yang studies and cultivators.
Not everyone could learn this…
