What is this thing called Yin Yang? Is it a central tenant of Taoism? Is it a cool symbol to put on your surfboard? Is it the Cognitive Orientation of all Chinese business thinking? In the Baker-Zhang Model of Chinese Business Culture, we go for Option 3.
If Mianzi is the PIN to the ATM of the Chinese Mind (actually, it is) Yin Yang is the underlying and mostly hidden operating system of all Chinese thinking.
This week we discuss what Yin Yang is, and the major differences between Western Socratic thinking and Chinese Yin Yang thinking. We explore how Yin Yang postulates that inconsistencies are not to be collapsed into a final truth and how the Chinese Mind can think along the pendulum of potential outcomes all at the same time.
And we give a little teaser of the practical examples of the application of Yin Yang thinking by the Chinese Mind, which we will dive into in more detail in the next few podcasts.
