Tips

culture
阳刚 derives from 阳 (the yang principle, positive, masculine, solar) and 刚 (hard/strong/unyielding). In Chinese cosmology, 阳 contrasts with 阴 (feminine/soft). The term 阳刚之气 (masculine spirit) has been at the center of recent debates in China about gender stereotypes in education and media.
