Heaven-and-earth comes from the Tao, The process includes several aspects： from nameless to name, from unparalleled to paralleled. Though heaven-and-earth is one niverse, it should abide by the law of the Tao. form invisible to visible, of four great things in universe, it should abide by the law of the Tao.
