Yin.

Life force, or chi, is present in the two primary forces, Yang and Yin.   These are dualities or polarities reflecting opposite states in continual interchange.

Yin is usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil.   Generally associated with femininity, birth and generation, and with the night.  Yin is substance and represents earth.

The relationship between yin and yang is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. Yin  (literally the ‘shady place’ or ‘north slope’)  is the dark area occluded by the mountain’s bulk, while yang   (literally the ‘sunny place’ or ‘south slope’)   is the brightly lit portion. As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other,  revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed.
