There is no such thing as a mix of Buddhism and Taoism.

What you are encountering is actually a third religion known at Shenism or Chinese folk religion, which predates both Buddhism and Taoism but incorporates some elements of both, interpreting them in its own unique way that both religions often find heretical.

Many people don't know the difference between those 3. They simply follow what their parents been doing and they in turn, their parents.

Donno haha

But Niels Bohr, one of modern physics founders, adopted d Tao Yin Yang symbol as his personal symbol. That says a lot...

People adapt symbol for all sorts of reason. Some just for the fun of it. So have to say Bohr adapted it for what reason.

Many don't know the difference.

And some are not even Buddhism or Taoism but local belief.
