IMHO Kanji in Japanese is
very very very very complex and involves a lot of memory work. Much more complex than anything a Chinese person would even dream of.
I'm not surprised why Japanese learners are confused over Kanji, there are countless KUN readings, but even ON reading has 3 varieties, and when to use what is total guesswork, it's just madness.
When you wrote 陰陽, I had trouble figuring out whether i should read it as いんよう or おんみょう. This is crazy.
But apparently it makes good business (漢検協会・受験者２７２万人), and its great quiz material (熱血、平成教育学院・ネップリーグ・ヘキサゴンＩＩ etc.)
You know this thing is out of control when it Kanji reading guessing is a regular section on quiz shows in Japan for Japanese!
