How does the concept of “yin and yang” apply to the study of Chinese music?
What will be an ideal response?
• Yin and yang--literally the female and male principles-- is the idea from Daoism that "any entity comprises not only a principal object but, at the same time, its complementary opposite. The concept of complementary opposites applies in a similar manner to the study of the present music of China along with its musical past, i. e., the "new" is a reaction to the "old."
