A lightning strike causes a forest fire on a mountain ( Yang), killing the trees, which in turn leads to soil erosion ( Yin), the mountain is destroyed, collapses and nature is in balanced harmony again.

There is 'up' and 'down', 'left' and 'right', but there is also 'middle', and 'luke warm' is neither 'hot' nor 'cold'. Yes, there is 'black' and 'white', but there is also 'grey'. And from that balance, we have life as we know it.
JAPANESE FLAG WITH YIN AND YANG SYMBOL FULL
our world is full of mutual yet opposing forces which balance. Male and female, hot and cold, up and down, right and left. The philosophy is extended to traditional Chinese science, medicine and martial arts. The Yin‑Yang symbol originally represented Chinese classical thought of how apparently opposing forces interconnect, interact and are mutually dependent, in the natural world. (There is a fair sprinkling of Christian Crosses on such items, too.) It has spread from the beach to snowboard equipment, skateboards, tribal tattoos, and even fantasy computer games designed for 11 year-olds - especially games involving warlocks. The curved shape's resemblance to ocean waves and the association with nature, makes it a symbol for surfers. The symbol used by flower-power hippie tribes of the 1960's in their search for things exotic, has now passed on to their sons and daughters.
