Product description
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang, which is often called yin and yang, is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world. These forces give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many natural dualities***, such as; female and male, light and dark, good and evil, low and high, cold and hot, water and fire, life and death, and so , as do Buddhists, Taoists, and many other people the world over. Even from a non-religious standpoint, the symbol is loved by many, from the Hippies of the 1960ís to the youth of today who think of the symbol as ìcool.î Here is a colorful, fun, and almost psychedelic version of the yin-yang symbol on a hip flask, suitable for gift-giving for just about any occasion. Although a Buddhist Monk might not be likely to carry one of these flasks, it can be a fun gift to almost anyone else, at least in the Western World. *** Yin is characterized as; slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime. Yang by contrast is; fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.
