And being is produced by non-being. Dao begets One (nothingness; or reason of being), One begets Two (yin and yang), Two begets Three (Heaven, Earth, and Man; or yin, yang, and breath qi), and Three begets all things. Building the business from zero to one, the Qingdao Pafic Group was founded with a mission to inspire and improve the world with vision and pursuit.
