Relativity refers to the fact that things or phenomena must belong to the same unity and be interrelated with each other. For example, water and fire are different states and phenomena of material existence in the nature. They are interrelated and inter-opposed. Water is cold in nature and flows downward while fire is hot and flames upward. So water pertains to yin and fire to yang. In fact, yin and yang in the theory are just an abstract conception of properties. They are not the actually uninterrelated objects themselves.
阴阳属性的规定性是指阴或阳不仅能概括事物或现象对立统一的两个方面,而且还代表着这两个方面的一定属性。也就是说,自然界相互关联的事物或现象对立的两个方面,本身就具有截然相反的两种属性。阳代表积极、进取、刚强等特性和具有这些特性的事物或现象;阴代表消极、退守、柔弱等特性和具有这些特性的事物和现象。而事物或现象相互对立的两个方面的阴阳属性是相对而言的,是由事物或现象的性质、位置、趋势等因素所决定的。
The property stipulation means that yin or yang are used to both describe the two opposite aspects in the same unity and represent the certain properties of the two opposing aspects. It means the two naturally interrelated opposite aspects of an object or phenomenon have different properties of their own: yang equal to that of activeness, progressiveness, and firmness and things or phenomena of these properties , and yin that of inactiveness, decline, and softness and things or phenomena of these properties. But the properties of yin and yang possessed by two opposing two aspects should not be defined arbitrarily or inverted randomly because of the properties relativity. They are determined by such factors as their nature, position, or tendencies.
