Yinyang ren (traditional Chinese 陰陽人, simplified Chinese 阴阳人, Pinyin yīnyáng rén) is a gender identity and role in Chinese culture, used to describe people who possess both feminine and masculine qualities. Yinyang ren are generally expected to have an androgynous gender expression and be bisexual. Some yinyang ren identify as cisgender but gender non-conforming, while others are transgender, non-binary and/or intersex. A famous example of yinyang ren is the main character Baoyu in the book The Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin.
