Is the Tao a symbol of perfect balance and harmony?

What is the place of broken symmetry in Taoism?

 

 

PS. I had one more question: What are your thoughts on the practice of animal sacrifice in popular Taoism? Namely the traditional offering of pork, chicken and fish every new year?

So, is fukinsei a purely Japanese aesthetic ideal or does it have a Taoist (or Chinese) counterpart?

In regards to the symmetry i can explain it as it was explained to me by my teacher. When the artist first begins to place the brush on the canvas there is a lot of paint, as the brush continues on the path the paint slowly dwindles from the brush, until it reaches the end of where the artist began to draw the circle.
