The tao and the yin-yang symbol have long been cliches, but how broadly understood are the fundamental messages in the Tao Te Ching, and in what way are they valuable? Feng shui, acupuncture and Tai Chi, disciplines based on taoist principles, are popular and well known. In the intervening time, tao has entered the English lexicon, along with yin and yang.
