Summer Solstice: When Yang Peaks, Yin Begins

What happens when something reaches its absolute peak?

According to traditional Chinese wisdom, the Summer Solstice (夏至, Xiàzhì) is not only the longest day of the year—it is also the moment when Yang reaches its maximum and Yin begins to emerge.

In this lesson, Mr. He explains the ancient principle:

陽極陰生，一陰始生
"When Yang reaches its extreme, Yin begins to arise."

You'll learn how Chinese philosophy, astronomy, and traditional cosmology understood the Summer Solstice as a turning point in nature—and in life itself.
