Wane and wax between yin and yang (阴阳消长)
Wane and wax between yin and yang implies that, in between yin and yang, one side is develop the other side is declining and vice versa. Such a state manifests in different ways, such as yin waning waxing, yin waxing while yang waning, yang to Yin waxing, and yang waxing leading to yin waning.
Under normal condition, wane and wax between yin and yang are maintained to a certain range. Waning to a certain degree will turn to waxing and waxing to a certain level will change into waning. In this way wane and wax will never be excessive.
Alternation and repetition of wane and wax maintain a dynamic balance between yin and yang.
If wane and wax between yin and yang exceeds the normal level, relative predominance or relative decline of either yin or yang will arise, consequently damaging the dynamic balance between yin and yang and leading to imbalance of yin and yang.
Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be.
Each of us has the power to give life meaning,
to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.
