Hun
Hun
(C.) The active, positive, or heavenly (yang) part of the soul, as contrasted with the passive, negative, or earthly (yin) part of the soul called p’o. Hun is the soul of man’s vital force (ch’i) which is expressed in man’s intelligence and power of breathing, whereas p’o is the spirit of man’s physical nature which is expressed in bodily movements. In heavenly spirits, hun predominates, whereas in earthly spirits, p’o predominates. When hun is separated from p’o in man or things, change ensues. — W.T.C.
