yin and yang

What does 'the yin and yang of e-commerce' mean?
Is it "the pros and cons of e-commerce"?
Thank you!

I think that you will have to know/study the whole idea of Yin and Yang before you can understand that. I can't really help you as I am not familiar with Yin and Yang, but have you tried to google it. That might be helpful Jay

I think it has to do with the ebb and tide... You lose some, you gain some... Everything is complementary. There's no black if there is no white, etc...

Yes i think what pieanne has written is correct. I find it quite embarrasing that I am not able to explain Yin and Yang as it should be common sense. Somewhere in my subconsciousness I have an idea of what it is but couldn't you tell me about it, Pieanne?

Thank you for your responses.
Yes, "complementary" will be the word!
Yin and yang help each other in order to make up the whole.
Next time I will bring some examples of the idiom. Thanks a lot!

I think yin & yan is male/female (or female/male). It's a symbol for balance. Like the pieces of a puzzle. The fronteers are fluctuating (ebb & tide), but the whole is balanced.

(that's why we, as mods, have that symbol
