太极图是中国古代一种文化符号，包含表示一阴一阳的图形，蕴含古老哲理。中国古人认为，太极为宇宙本原，宇宙中一切现象都由阴阳两个基本方面构成，两者既相互平衡、相互对立，又相互包含、相互转化。宇宙万物就在这种阴阳辩证关系的推动下循环运转、生生不息。太极图就是关于这一宇宙观的基本图示。

The Taijitu Symbol was a cultural symbol in ancient China, composed of a sign for yin and another for yang, representing ancient philosophical ideas. According to an ancient Chinese belief, the Taiji is the origin of the universe, in which every phenomenon is composed of two elementary aspects – yin and yang. The two are opposite but counterbalanced, mutually-containing while interconvertible. Everything in the universe goes on and on in cycles under the dialectical forces of yin and yang. The Taijitu symbol illustrates this concept.
