Yin and Yang

From popular martial arts films to Japanese animation to small jewelry sold in stores, you have likely seen the Yin-Yang symbol in your daily life. But do you know where it originated? As it turns out, according to Chinese mythology, the Yin-Yang plays a part in the creation of the world. The story of Yin and Yang is just one aspect of the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology. Chinese myths started off with a wide variety of gods and goddesses and have since been introduced from various belief systems brought to the country, such as Daoism, Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Hinduism.
