Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve asked about “Yang,” a fascinating word indeed, From ancient China, a concept we need to heed. The dictionary gives you a good start, it's true, "Bright, hot, masculine," describing what it does for you. Let me break it down with a little rhyme, you see, Yang is like the sun, wild and utterly free! Think of fire’s heat, or a mountain tall and grand, It's about expansion, across the land. It represents activity, a force that wants to grow, A vibrant energy, putting on a show! Now, “Yang” isn’t just one thing, it’s part of a pair – With its opposite, "Yin," beyond compare! “Yin” is quiet stillness, dark and cool you find, Like water flowing, or the peace of mind. Together they balance, a beautiful design, A cosmic dance of energy, truly divine. So, Yang means brightness, heat, and strength, my dear, But remember its connection – it’s always held so near To Yin, its counterpart, a balanced, gentle plea, To understand the world in harmony!
