Dr. Wang continued, “Traditional Chinese Medicine also attaches great importance to peace, harmony with the balancing of the yin and yang. This is anchored by a famous line in a Chinese classics: When yin and yang are in balance people will keep health.”
Dr. Wang said, “The principles of yin and yang are also applied to human work through the theme of harmony with one another.
