This idea of balance is integrated in the idea of the five seasons and the elements that represent those seasons. The five elements are also related to Taoism in many ways. Yin and Yang is also part of the Chinese world creation

Yin and Yang-Complementary Rather Than Contrary Solution to the trouble with happiness may lay in a famously known Chinese symbol Yin and Yang which consists of white and black halves that chase after one another, forming a new balance and wholeness. The symbol perfectly describes how opposite forces interact to create a “dynamic system in which whole is greater than the assembled parts” (Wikipedia). Like Yin and Yang, happiness and unhappiness are more complementary rather than contrary, as these
