Yin and yang (or yin-yang) is a complex relational concept in Chinese culture that has developed over thousands of years. Briefly put, the meaning of yin and yang is that the universe is governed by a cosmic duality, sets of two opposing and complementing principles or cosmic energies that can be observed in nature. Cross-Gender China, the outcome of more than twenty years of theatrical and sociological research, deconstructs the cultural implications of cross-gender performance in today's China. The recent revival in male-to-female cross-gender nandan performance in Chinese theatre raises a multitude of questions: it may suggest new gender dynamics, or new readings of old aesthetic traditions in new.

Concept

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Midnight-noon Ebb-flow theory is also called Zi Wu Liu Zhu (子午流注). The flowing and ebbing of Qi and Xue along different meridians (Jingluo) is believed to be related to the designated days and hours in terms of the heavenly stems and earthly branches(天干地支).

Zi (midnight) and Wu (midday) reflect the growth and decline of Yin and Yang. In reference to the 24 hour cycle, in the Zi time (23-1) the Yin Qi reachers its most extreme. After that the Yin Qi begins to decline and the Yang Qi starts to increase. At the Wu time the Yang Qi is at its most extreme, after that it begins to decline, and the Yin Qi starts to increase. Thus the Zi and Wu represent the pivotal points of the growth and decline of the day and night, and Yin and Yang.

The original meaning of 'Liu Zhu' (ebb and flow) is the circulation of the water system. It's dissipating and it's gathering together. Zi Wu Liu Zhu describes the circulation of Qi and Xue in the Jing Mai. It explains that the physiological functions of the body will follow the diurnal rhythm and vary according to the changing of time.

Circulation

In the Yuan Dynasty, Hua Bo Ren said 'The Jing Mai serve as pathways for Qi and Xue and so circulate the Yin and Yang and nourish the whole body. Starting in the Middle Jiao and form there pouring into the Hand Tai Yin and Hand Yang Ming, the Qi belongs to the 'Ping Dan' time, like the dew drops that fall at dawn. The Qi flows day and night, reaches the end and then starts again.'

Ping Dan time here refers to the Yin time (the 3rd of the Earthly Branches, 3-5am).

• In the Yin time (3rd) the Qi and Xue will exit the Middle Jiao and flow and pour into the Hand Tai Yin Lung channel.
• In the Mao time (4th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Hang Yang Ming Large Intestine channel.
• In the Chen time (5th), iQi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Yang Ming Stomach channel.
• In the Ji time (6th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Tai Yin Spleen channel.
• In the Wu time (7th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Hand Shao Yin Heart channel.
• In the Wei time (8th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Hand Tai Tang Small Intestine channel.
• In the Shen time (9th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Tai Yang Bladder channel.
• In the You time (10th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Shao Yin Kidney channel.
• In the Shu time (11th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Hand Yue Yin Pericardium channel.
• In the Hai time (12th), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Hand Shao Yang Sanjiao channel.
• In the Zi time (1st), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Shao Yang Gall Bladder channel.
• In the Chou time (2rd), Qi and Xue will flow and pour into the Foot Jue Yin Liver channel.
• And then Qi and Xue will return to the Lung channel.

The Qi and Xue flow in every channel for a period of two hours, and just like the tides of the sea, will ebb and flow, reaching a high point followed by a low point, entering every channel at its time of fullness, and leaving it at the time of emptiness.

Function

Zi Wu Liu Zhu in Traditional Chinese Medicine can help in diagnosis, in prevention of disease, and especially to choose the most auspicious time to treat the patient. Because of this, in the past few years a new direction in the study of medicine has evolved—when to select the treatment time. Many scholars outside China have performed trials investigating left heart failure due to hypertension. It has been found it mostly occurs between 11pm-1am. When patient is given a suitable amount of vasodilators and a small amount of diuretics at 10 pm, this can prevent left heart failure.

China Mac Yin And Yang Tea

Raymond Yu, professionally known as China Mac, is a Chinese-American artist born and raised in New York City. With strong roots in the hardcore New York rap era, the musician has drawn significant underground buzz. To date, he boasts more than 100,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel China Mac TV, with music videos and interview clips garnering millions of views.

China Mac has made a name for himself not only through his music but also for his compelling redemption story. After spending years in gang life and eventually serving more than a decade for felony offenses, the musician has evolved into a mature and conscious hip-hop artist, establishing a solid and ever-growing fanbase.

The rapper has simultaneously dropped two EPs, “The Yin” and “The Yang.” The project has showcased the power and depth to his artistry as well as his domestic and worldwide appeal. “The Yin” features fresh, experimental tracks, mirroring the rapper’s evolution while “The Yang” draws from the old-school “Boom Bap” sound — a style that provided inspiration for China Mac’s earlier career.

Mac has worked with various talented and influential artist such as Jadakiss, Method Man, Young MA, Dave East, and others to name a few.

His latest project “Viral”, was created in a week. The album is coupled with lyricism and story telling that NYC rappers were once known for.

Mac is not only a rapper but a personality for the people. He has an eating show titled “Mac Eats” where he goes to various restaurants and tries out their food. “Mac Talks” shares his true life experiences in prison as well as what he is presently up to. He also has a clothing line R3dMon3y which allows his Chopii’s to have a piece of his brand.

Mac was released from parole in the beginning of 2020, with the vision to travel and tour globally, but due to COVID-19 everything is on pause. When the pandemic comes to an end his first major stop will be China.

“By staying clear of trouble and solely focusing on my craft, I have constructed my own lane,” Mac said. “And just as i’ve grown and matured as a person, so has my music.”

In a world where hip hop has become more beats, mumbled lines and swag rapping, China Mac offers a breath of fresh air, but still finds a way to find a medium. Not many rappers who come from Mac’s time can find a way to stay true to themselves while still being able to relate to the younger generation.
