YANG

Chinese concept

The Male Principle of the Universe, and perfect opposite of Yin

Yang is seen as the macho half of the Universe: strong, bright, sexy, successful, loud, brash and very much in-your-face. Every sun, star and lightbulb is pouring out Yang energy. We at Godchecker also believe that televisions are full of it.

It seems amazing that Yang can possibly share half of creation with its modest opposite Yin. But it does. Only when the two are unbalanced do things go wrong. See our entry on Yin for more info.

Oh, and there is a God of Yang. His name is Mu Gong.
