An alternative meaning for Yin and Yang
AN ALTERNATIVE MEANING FOR YIN & YANG
1 - THE LARGE CIRCLE REPRESENTS EARTH
2 - THE TOP SMALL CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLE
3 - THE BOTTOM SMALL CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE SOUTH MAGNETIC POLE
4 - THE S CURVE REPRESENTS EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD
WHAT CAN BE INFERRED FROM THIS THEORY?
1 – THE SYMBOL IS A NAVIGATION TOOL USED BY THE ANCIENT CHINESE PEOPLES.
(THE ANCIENT CHINESE KNEW THAT LODESTONE WOULD SPIN TO ALIGN ITSELF IF SUSPENDED. TWO BASIC WAYS TO SUPEND THE LODESTONE WAS TO TIE A STRING TO IT AND LET IT HANG; OR PLACE IT ON A PIECE OF WOOD FLOATING IN WATER.)
2 – THEY KNEW THE EARTH WAS A SPHERE.
3 – THEY KNEW THE EARTH HAD A MAGNETIC FIELD
4 – THEY KNEW THAT 2 PIECES OF LODE STONE WOULD REPEL EACH OTHER IF THE 2
ENDS POINTING NORTH WERE PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER. AND THEY
WOULD ATTRACT EACH OTHER IF THE END POINTING NORTH AND THE END
POINTING SOUTH WERE PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER, AND VICE-VERSA. (HENCE
THE SAYING: “OPPOSITES ATTRACT AND LIKES REPEL”)
5 – THEY KNEW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH MAGNETIC POLE,
AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH GEOGRAPHICAL POLES.
THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT THE ANCIENT CHINESE SAILED VAST DISTANCES MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. SOME NEW THEORIES SUGGEST THEY REACHED THE AMERICAS MORE THAN 5000 YEARS AGO.
