The Chinese refer to this as the yin-yang theory. We have night, but we also have day. We have work, but we also have play. It is also called the law of the unity of opposites.
In its conventional orientation, the hot, bright, white yang nature rises while the cold, dark, black yin nature descends. Taoist esoterics often invert the symbol because they believe in this configuration the heat from the yang will be able to cook the jing in the yin producing qi which leads toward longer life and immortality.
