Abstract
every society, whether it is simple or conplex, we always find some systems of classification . The basic type of classification is dichotomous partition, i .e . all things in the human and natural world are split into two groups, such as moieties, binary opposition of good and evil in Java or yin-yang in China .

The preliminary purpose of classification is to simplify all things in the human environment.
