This is a universe model developed by acient Chinese thousands of year ago, it a wonder how did they derive at this during those time. With that they know a lot more than what the modern scientist is still learning and ignorant of. However, over time this universe model is marred by myths and has strayed in developments of all sorts that thus has undermined it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang
The unity in duality of Ying and Yang circle in my intrepretation is it represents the opposite pair of polar vortices on a spheroid with rotation axis tilted at an angle; stretched vortex in perpetual motion would form in that shape. The Ying is the polar vortex at one pole and the Yang is the polar vortex at the other pole, both spinning cyclonically, and viewing a dynamic spheroid from a revolving axis tilted from the rotating axis from South Pole, that is the exact shape of a Ying and Yang diagram, with Ying behind the spheroid in a shade of shadow.
The trigrams diagram represents the phases of a spheroid in a precession on two axis, with 8 phases on each axis gets 64 scenarios (8 x 8 ) in a full precession cycle. Having recorded the phemonena in every phase on a daily basis over a long period of time in a satistical compilation could render accurate climate prediction based on past events that recurs in a cyclical manner.
In the Battle of Red Cliffs I believes Zhuge Liang used this knowledge and thus defeated an eight hundred thousand strong invading army without having a direct confrontation, in a blaze almost wiped out the entire troops of the enemy, by ancitipating a wind direction change after having observed the sky for many nights to account for position of stars in their constellation to make prediction based on I-Ching. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Red_Cliffs
This wisdom of the ancient Chinese is marvellous.
