Taoism ying yang symbol
Hi, since you keep a copy of religious symbols on your user page, I thought you may be interested to know that I have changed the lead image on the Taoism template from to. This was done for several reasons. I hope you will use the file Yin and Yang symbol.svg instead of TaoismSymbol.PNG for any template that you are going create. Thanks, --LK (talk) 16:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Traditionally, the ying yang symbol is white and black, signifying empty and full. It is not colored, as that would imply that not all colors are there, and that some colors are better than others, which contradicts the neutrality and balance of the ying yang symbol.
 * 2) Also traditionally,the black and white are side by side, not top and bottom, as they are equal and balanced. Having one on top of the other implies that one is 'better' or dominates the other. Again, this violates the principle of balance that the ying yang symbol is trying to convey.
 * 3) And, the ying yang symbol is flat, not '3-D', this is incongruous with the time that the ying yang symbol dates from. Using the golden 3-D symbol for ying yang, is as jarring as using a rainbow colored cross that rotates with a 3-D effect for the main symbol of Christianity.
 * 4) Lastly, the symbol should be an SVG file, such as the one that I have replaced it with.
