The Yin Yang and the Chinese Edible

It is customarily illustrated as 'two fish moving head to tail', but the Yin Yang implies a lot more than the the light and dark part of a mountain. Many people deem the Yin and Yang are two reverse forces, but in fact Yin and Yang are to be seen as matching pairs. In China, the Yin and Yang not only plays a crucial role in the balance of nature but also in the preparation of recipe. For instance in a sweet and spicy pork and stir-fried beef with broccoli, a balance in texture, flavor, and pigment is conserved.

However, Yin and Yang is also believed to have numerous properties such as the cooling property for the Yin and the warm property for the Yang, and Chinese believe that people should scoff a balance of both of properties. In addition, a Chinese doctor would likely propose his patient with a heartburn, which is the result of eating undue spicy food, to take herbal tea in replacement to antacids to increase or bring back the yin property or force in the body. The same thing when a person is going through from coughs or colds, the doctor will recommend the ingestion of food with the yang property instead of antibiotics. Chinese observe their food intake to be as balance as the way the nature is to prevent diverse problems.
