In Asian philosophy and Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin yang (simplified Chinese: 阴阳; traditional Chinese: 陰陽; pinyin: yīnyáng), which is often referred to in the West as "yin and yang", literally meaning "dark and light", is used to describe how polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn. Opposites thus only exist in relation to each other. The concept lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung) and of I Ching divination. Many natural dualities—e.g. dark and light, female and male, low and high, cold and hot, water and fire, earth and air—are thought of as manifestations of yin and yang (respectively).
Yin yang are not opposing forces (dualities), but complementary opposites, unseen (hidden, feminine) and seen (manifest, masculine), that interact within a greater whole, as part of a dynamic system. Everything has both yin and yang aspects as light cannot exist without darkness and vice-versa, but either of these aspects may manifest more strongly in particular objects, and may ebb or flow over time. The concept of yin and yang is often symbolized by various forms of the Taijitu symbol, for which it is probably best known in western cultures.

The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables' most personal battle yet.

The cold winter night.
I'm the moon and sadness pierces of my heart.
I'm submissive darkness of the north.
I'm lukewarm wind that blows about your hair.
I'm the fire,
The hot in summer day.
I'm the sun and got gladness on my mouth.
I'm so strong daylight of the south.
Like the black with the white.
Like the peace and the war.
Like the water and the fire.
We interact within a greater whole.
We keep the secret of immortals,
We still keep the flame of space and time.
All this is for the force that mortals called an equilibrium.
We can't exist in the multiverse without each other.
Just as death can't without life.
