It moved and produced Yang, moved to the utmost, it rested, and then produced Yin . The dual elements of Yin and Yang, opposite but complementary, mated and produced Tao. Tao encompasses heaven, earth and humankind, all things material and spiritual. When Yin and Yang are in harmony, whether in nature, the world, or the human body, crops thrive, nation are at peace, and individuals enjoy health and happiness.

TAO’S PHILOSOPHY
It is a six century B.C. Ancient Chinese Philosophy that emphasises on the teaching for how to attain longevity, health and well being, through the mastery of Loving Skills. Taoists were Chinese physicians who were the first sexologists to understand that good health was closely linked to lovemaking. For the Taoist, loving was regarded as necessary to the physical and mental health and the happiness of both men and women in society.

Tao’s philosophy is the belief that energy and momentum are the sources of all life. In the universal scheme of things we human beings are tiny, insignificant and vulnerable creatures. - Unless with live in harmony with these forces. And much the same principle go for loving.

Fire belongs to Yang and, though quick to ignite, it is overwhelmed by water, a Yin force. Taoist suggests that all forces occur in complementary pairs. Fire and Water, Haven and earth, sun and moon, inhaling and exhaling, pushing and pulling and etc, And that each of these contrary forces belongs to a sexual power either Yin or Yang. Yin and Yang, although separate forces, are rally part of the same ultimate unity and therefore necessary to one another.

FOOD
Aphrodite was the Greek Goddess of Love. She was the 'Venus' of the Romans. Regardless of whether aphrodisiac foods are a psychological or visual sensory stimulation, in today’s affluent society where food is readily available, we tend to eat and drink too much. Over-indulgence in any form is harmful to us, as are many of the processed foods that we conveniently consume. Taoists, as with most nutritionists today, believed that a healthy body forms the basis of a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition was taken very seriously in ancient China and is just as important for us today. Those who know the Tao are like good cooks who know how to blend the five flavors into a tasty dish and into heavenly pleasure. Eating in this way harmonizes the Yin and Yang.
