The Yellow Emperor's Four German Thought Of Yin And Yang Of Punishment

December 1973, Hunan province, near Changsha, ancient state of Chu . Working on a site known as Mawangdui Han Tomb Three, archaeologists make a discovery that promises to dramatically alter and enrich our understanding of the life and philosophy of ancient China, There are including wooden figurines, bamboo containers of food, silk paintings and silk scrolls dating back to the early Han. The silk saolls contain more 120,000 characters, including the two oldest known version of the Lao Zi (called Lao zi A and B). The four silk manuscripts of the Huang-Lao school precede Lao zi B.

It is in Huang Di Si Jing (《皇帝四经》) that Yin-yang was firstly allocate to Xing(刑) and De( 德) .
