I believe you mean Yin and Yang, the concept of opposites. In the Yin Yang symbol one represents female the other male, but each has an element of the other as part of it (that would be the thing that looks sort of like an eye in each half.)
I believe it started during the Han dynasty.
The essentials of the yin-yang school are as follows: the universe is run by a single principle, the Tao, or Great Ultimate.
This principle is divided into two opposite principles, or two principles which oppose one another in their actions, yin and yang.
All the opposites one perceives in the universe can be reduced to one of the opposite forces. The yin and yang accomplish changes in the universe through the five material agents, or wu hsing , which both produce one another and overcome one another.
All change in the universe can be explained by the workings of yin and yang and the progress of the five material agents as they either produce one another or overcome one another. Yin-yang and the five agents are, I need to stress, a universal explanatory principle.
All phenomena can be understood using yin-yang and the five agents: the movements of the stars, the workings of the body, the nature of foods, the qualities of music, the ethical qualities of humans, the progress of time, the operations of government, and even the nature of historical change.

The concept of Yin and Yang is that both ideas are opposites; masculine and feminine, hard and gentle, etc. Look it up on Wikipedia for more info.
Next time, I suggest you pay attention in class.

It just means everything has an opposite. Good - bad. The trick is finding the balance. It is Yang.
