In basic terms, it means that different (and sometimes opposing) forces can coexist and even complement each other, much like the sun (day) and the moon (night). It’s even a symbol associated with the popular Chinese ideology of yin and yang - the concept of dualism.

A handful of countries, such as Ecuador, Namibia, Taiwan, and the Philippines, revere the sun’s symbolism so much that they have even incorporated it into their national flags. In cultures the world over, the sun has long been a symbol of power, growth, and the cycle of life. Many cultures and religions across the world respect and appreciate the sun - and associate its rising and setting with something much larger. As the sun sets, light fades, which is symbolic of the forces of darkness. The setting sun is nature’s way of reminding humanity about the forces of good and evil. The awesome beauty of the setting sun is also symbolic of the beauty and mystery of life itself. As the sun sets, it is time to end the day and take a break. The sunset symbolizes the completion of a day’s work and shows the passage of time. Beyond its physical beauty, there is also a metaphorical beauty in watching a daily sunset.
