The "Yang fish" of the Taiji Tu (diagram) symbolises "seeking stillness in movements; when optimum stillness is reached resume movement". This enables perpetual interchangeability and facilitates the three external harmonisations for effective offensive and defensive applications. The "Yang fish" allows you to know your opponent and understand your external environment.
The "Yin fish" of the Taiji Tu symbolises "seeking movement in stillness; when optimum dynamism is... reached resume stillness". This facilitates perpetual interchangeability and supports the three internal harmonisations necessary for defence and advance. It also trains the emotional aspect of the mind and dantian skill. The "Yin fish" allows you to understand the self and the internal environment.

When you become familiar with the concept Yang and Yin can be applied simultaneously and instinctively.
The Taiji Tu is a template for practice for the Internal Martial Arts - Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Xingyiquan - often seen as one family. It is said that Taijiquan studies the dots of the diagram, Baguazhang studies the perimeter of the diagram and Xinyiquan studies the S of the diagram - one principle taking three forms.
