Drips of Yang, Imperial Guardian Painting

Why yin and yang? It is the symbol of Taoism. Simply, Taoism is to put into practice a higher understanding of balance both spiritually, mentally and physically. It is true balance to supersede attachment and become the flow. Traditionally the female (yin) and male (yang) foo dogs are placed on opposite sides of an entrance for complete protection. They have been used in China since the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) to protect temples. This is an image of yang, a protector and representation of power and supremacy, protecting the building and everything that resides outside. He is placed on the right side of an entrance, if you were on the inside facing out.
