Guiguzi believes that the art of 捭阘 can change all aspects of the opposition of yin and yang in things, ranging from the rise and fall of kingdoms to personal development, whether it is the departure and joining of ministers, or the resistance and loyalty of subordinates, All can be achieved through 捭合. Chaos is a phenomenon in the operation of all things, and lobbying activities are just one form of it.

The changes in all things, including the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the cycle of the four seasons, and even people's behavior and destiny, are all related to it. Human will, desire, thinking, wisdom, and strategy must be expressed through the portal of the soul, that is, the mouth. Therefore, it must be grasped and controlled through the art of control.

捭 belongs to the yang aspect, including the open and talkable aspects; while He belongs to the yin aspect, including the closed and silent aspects. The harmony of yin and yang is the key to balance.
