Summarize the 2 topics into 2 slides per each topic. Please have bullet points for each slides. First Topic YANG and YIN Yang and yin After about 1000 BCE the Chinese commonly thought that the universe expressed itself in opposite but complementary principles: light and dark, day and night, hot and cold, sky and earth, summer and winter. The list was virtually infinite: male and female, right and left, front and back, up and down, out and in, sound and silence, birth and death. It even came to include “strong foods,” such as meat and ginger, and “weak foods,” such as fish and rice. The names for the two complementary principles are yang and yin. Yang and yin, symbolized by a circle of light and dark, represent the complementary but opposing forces of the universe that generate all forms of reality. These principles are not the same as good and evil. Yang is not expected to win against the force of yin, or vice versa. Rather, the ideal is a dynamic balance between the forces. In fact, the emblem of balance is the yin-yang circle, divided into what look like two intertwined commas. One half is light, representing yang; the other is dark, representing yin. Inside each division is a small dot of the contrasting color that represents the seed of the opposite. The dot suggests that everything contains its opposite and will eventually become its opposite. Both forces are dynamic and in perfect balance as they change—just as day and night are in balance as they progress. We can think of yang and yin as pulsations or as waves of energy—like a heartbeat, or like breathing in and out. Second Topic Daodejing The Daodejing The Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) is generally seen as one of the world’s greatest books. It is also the primary classic of Daoism, accepted by most Daoists as a central scripture. Its title can be translated as “the classical book about the Way and its power.” Sometimes the book is also called the Laozi (Lao Tzu), after its legendary author. Possibly because of its brevity and succinctness, it has had an enormous influence on Chinese culture. The book has been linguistically dated to about 350 BCE, but it seems to have circulated in several earlier forms. In 1972, at the tombs of Mawangdui, archeologists discovered two ancient copies of the text that differ from the arrangement commonly used. Another shorter ancient version was found in a tomb at Guodian in 1993. That version contains about one-third of the standard text.1 The version that is commonly known and used is from the third century CE. In the eighty-one chapters of the Daodejing, we recognize passages that seem to involve early shamanistic elements, such as reaching trance states and attaining invulnerability (see chapters 1, 16, 50, and 55). The book shows some repetition, has no clear order, and exhibits a deliberate lack of clarity. In form, each chapter is more poetry than prose. This combination of elements suggests that the book is not the work of a single author but is.
