Feminine force, in Chinese philosophy (3)

I believe the answer is:

yin

(Other definitions for yin that I've seen before include "Chinese female passive principle of universe" , "Complement of yang" , "principle accepted in China" , "Counterpart of yang" , "Yang's counterpart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
