Yáng within yīn

阴中之阳 〔陰中之陽〕 yīn zhōng zhī yáng

The yáng aspect of a yīn phenomenon. According to the principle that yīn and yáng are divisible but inseparable, all yáng phenomena can be divided into yīn and yáng components, as can all yīn phenomena. For instance, the chest and abdomen are yīn as opposed to the back, which is yáng. However, the chest (upper part) is yáng, whereas the abdomen (lower part) is yīn. The chest is therefore the yáng within yīn. Compare yīn and yáng are divisible but inseparable.
