Summary edit

Description
English: About 1892 the design of the yin-yang symbol was changed. The new design showed a disc divided in two equal comma-shaped parts, red and blue.

When looking at the two comma-shaped sections ‘ukwdrops’ in the eum-yang symbol, the thicker part of a section indicates the beginning and the slender part indicates the end. The eum begins where the yang gradually vanishes and vice versa. The red section is always on the top half of the circle.

The harmonious state of the movement of eum-yang is called tae-guk in Korean (tai-chi in Chinese).
