Abstract
“Yin and Yang” is the theoretical essence of ancient Chinese natural science. Based on the classics of “Huangdi Neijing”, “Laozi” and “Zhouyi”, “Yin and Yang” is the basis of the universal theory of all things: 1) The basis of the establishment of “Yin and Yang” is phenomena; 2) “Yin and Yang”, as the general outline of all things, features the theory and method of the overall understanding of material phenomena; 3) The basic model description of “Yin and Yang” is “For phenomena, the syncretic structure is Yang, while the opposite side of the syncretic structure is Yin “; 4) The scientific connotationof “Yin and Yang”: “Yang” is the macroscopic structural material quality of phenomena, “Yin” is the energy flow of the macroscopic structural material matching phenomena; 5. The model and meaning of “Yin and Yang” are the basis for strictly determining the nature and quantity of “Yin and Yang”.
