I happened across this bowl while at the World Market, a store that contains a wide variety of foods and objects from different cultures, on Broadway. The Yin-yang, introducing during the Taoism era, stands as a symbol of contrary forces in the Chinese culture. Rather than forces that are opposing and fighting against one another, I (along with many others) like to believe that these two forces serve as compliments to each other. The yin and the yang (much like the light and the dark or the sun and the moon) serve to coexist and show the beauty that each holds.
