TheYin andYang sections of theSymbol are in goldand jade respectively. This symbol,which representsthe universe, light and darkness, life and death,wasadopted primarily because it was Chinese in originand character. More significantly, it represents theessenceofChinesephilosophy-inconsonancewiththetraditionoftheschool.
