I think the arguement is that before Dao there is Wuji, and the book of change said Taiji give birth to unlimited things. Laozi said Dao give birth to one then two then three than all things. So, what is wuji before Taiji or Dao?

無極者。當人未練之先。無思無意。無形無象。無我無他。胸中混混沌沌。一氣渾淪。無所向意者也
Nonpolarity is the state you are in before commencing practice, without thoughts or ideas, without form or shape, without a sense of “me” or “him”. In the mind, all is mixed and without distinction, a continuous vagueness, nothing being thought about.
