These views are in the Chinese classics "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tse and the key for the TCM work "Huang Di Nei Jing" - described (The Classic of the Yellow Emperor), first edition about 100 BC.

TCM uses thousands of years ancient Chinese philosophy of life, to explain patterns of disease, their origin, and their treatment concepts.
