Taoists believe that life contains good and evil elements – how we choose to respond to these energies determines the quality of life you will carry out. The Taoism culture believes that all opposites, thoughts, views, opinions, interpretations, and phenomena are developed from a common source. Their opposites complement each other and allow there to be functionality. Even though they are considered polar opposites, both elements understand that they cannot function without the other. The yin and yang are two essential and interdependent energies of life. The symbol is found in many other cultures but over the years has come to be the symbol most people identify with Taoism. While many westerners refer to the symbol as the yin yang symbol, people who follow Taoism refer to it is the Taijitu. And other reference of females as yin and male as yang is another popular grouping.

For example many refer to night as yin and day as yang. It is believed in the Taoism culture that there are several examples of the yin and yang throughout elements of our life. The word yin, in the Chinese culture, is meant as the shady side while the yang is seen as the sunny side. The symbol represents balance and the idea that the two sides are, in essence, chasing each other to seek a new balance with each other. The two halves signify wholeness and are looked at as the starting point for change. The yin and yang symbol is one of the most popular within Taoism.
