What is the significance of the yin and yang of the seal?

According to calligraphy fonts, general running script and cursive script (more lively) are printed in Yang Wen, while regular script, official script and seal script (more stable) are printed in Wen Yin. In ancient China, the characters engraved on utensils were called Yang Wen and Yin Wen.

Yang Wen: A raised pattern. By means of die printing, knife carving and pen stacking, the pattern is made higher than the porcelain plane, which is called Yang Wen. Yang Wen's design can be touched by hand.

Inscription: a concave pattern. By means of die printing or scribing, the pattern below the porcelain plane is called yin. Because the concave pattern has been filled in when glazing, the porcelain surface is integral and no pattern can be touched.
