On the white side the yin represents potential energy while the yang in black represents movement. The symbol of yin and yang demonstrates perfectly the dynamic and inversely proportional relationship of this opposing pair and of other such pairings in nature. The yin begins where the yang ends, and the line that separates them is curved. The white dot lying in the black half and the black dot in the white half show how each part takes its origins from the other, and how neither could exist without the other.
