To fully explain some behaviours and performances of Chinese indigenous organizations, the use of Chinese traditional philosophical thinking is required to modify, supplement, enrich, or even replace traditional western concepts or theories in some cases. 8–10 Therefore, more detailed and indigenous research, theory, and work are required, rather than the simplistic reproduction of western models based on “assumptions, perspectives and biases that are simply just not applicable or appropriate in China”. 6, 7 An important reason for this is the contradiction and divergence between western management philosophy and traditional Chinese philosophy.
In addition, in cross-cultural organizations in China, the relationship of confrontation and coordination between China and foreign nations is constantly emerging in organizational issues, and the division of power and responsibility is often in dispute. However, in view of the unique characteristics of China’s non-profits, there is a lack of research on the dynamic changes in the opposition and unity between the Chinese government and non-profits. 1–5 For example, western scholars have introduced cooperative governance thinking and discussed building a cooperative relationship between government and non-profit organizations in public service. However, many scholars have found that directly applying western management systems does not fit Chinese enterprises and organizations well. In the picture below you see the Chinese clock and the moment of the day an organ is the most active.Western modern management theory has influenced the formation of mainstream Chinese management science after it was introduced to China. A person with an excess of Yang will always be hot while a person with an excess of Yin will always be cold. For example, an excess of Yang energy can rise to the head. The Yin meridians at the front will feed the body. The Yang meridians flow along the back of the body and serve to protect us from external influences. One will tonify the Yang and/or the Yin and eliminate the Yang or Yin of excess energy in the meridians and organs. In a Shiatsu treatment, everything can be brought back to the basic theory of Yin and Yang.
#The concept of yin and yang theory skin#
In the body, the skin and surface are Yang and everything inside including the organs is Yin.Īpplication of Yin and Yang in an acupressure Shiatsu session: In each of the 5 elements you have a Yin meridian connected to a Yang organ and a Yang meridian linked to a Yin organ. Yin meridians feed Yang organs and Yang meridians feed Yin organs. Because of the driving forces of Yin and Yang, a Yin meridian flows into a Yang and vice versa. In the body we have 6 Yin meridians with upward flow and 6 Yang meridians with downward flow. The energy of Yin and Yang in each person in a relationship can change according to internal and external circumstances. For example, a woman with a lot of Yang energy will attract a man with more Yin energy to find balance. Sometimes, for example, a person may be more Yang or more Yin at some stage of their life. The center line in the symbol of the Yin and Yang is constantly moving. But in the upper part you also have a Yang and Yin part, the chest can then be Yin, in contrast to the more Yang head. The top part of our body is Yang, in contrast to the lower Yin part. So it is good to remember that Yin and Yang are always defined in proportion to something. For example, in the south of Europe, the weather is warmer and therefore Yang, compared to the colder north of Europe, but the south of Europe is Yin compared to the hot Africa. Everything is Yin or Yang in relation to something else. Lao Tzu, the wise Taoist, wrote the following:ĭifficult and not difficult complement each otherĮverything contains Yin and Yang, but that ratio is never the same. What determines what Yin or Yang is ? There is no absolute definition, Yin and Yang depend on the situation. Yin: the moon, dark, shadow, calm, cold, feminine element,… Yang: the sun, light, brightness, activity, warmth, male element,… The Yin and Yang represents two states in the transformation process, so we additionally have: A switch in seasons also takes a lot of time and before you notice that it is really spring, a very energetic process preceded. There are many signals before you get through or symptoms come to the surface. It is also not the case that you suddenly have a burnout or illness from one day to the next.
It is not that it suddenly gets dark during the day, it is a slow process with transition phases. The movements of energy are equal to life. The model is based on a cyclical movement like everything in life.
