Passive force of Chinese philosophy (3)

I believe the answer is:

yin

(Other definitions for yin that I've seen before include "Complement of yang" , "principle accepted in China" , "Counterpart of yang" , "Comedian Billy Connolly is the big one" , "Chinese female passive principle of universe" .)

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